Meghan Markle slammed for launching crappy new products at exact moment Royal Family are in Aberfan
Princess Olga joins Dan Wootton remotely for a discussion that moves from Meghan Markle's product photographs to a candle he holds up on camera. Between those moments, the pair criticize both the range's British styling and the timing of its announcement.
Wootton says the product drop coincided with the Royal Family's visit to Aberfan. He treats that overlap as inappropriate and cites other announcements he says have coincided with royal events. That is his interpretation of the timing, not evidence that the launch was arranged around the visit.
The segment has already drawn substantially more views than the channel's Shorts usually receive in a full first day. Another fast-starting clip, featuring Tom Bower discussing Prince Harry and royal reconciliation, gives the channel a second widely watched royal discussion on the same day.
The product conversation eventually narrows to a two-wick candle. Wootton then displays a different candle sent to him, this one without any wick, as Princess Olga laughs.
