Princess Kate of Wales and her husband, Prince William, took to Instagram to extend St Patrick’s Day wishes, sharing a video of the Irish Guards’ parade rehearsal. The post comes amid concerns surrounding Kate’s health, with friends indicating she may speak on her recovery in the future. The couple also plans to continue sharing children’s birthday photographs, with uncertainty whether Kate will photograph the upcoming birthday of Prince Louis.

In related royal news, Earl Spencer, Diana, Princess of Wales’s brother, discussed the intense media scrutiny faced by royals, referencing the tragic circumstances of his sister’s death and comparing it to challenges faced by Kate Middleton.

Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, has been criticized for using her royal title in promoting her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Despite this, a PR expert argues Meghan’s brand reflects her life in Montecito, California, rather than exploiting her royal connection. The brand, which includes tableware, textiles, and cookbooks, was teased on Instagram, accumulating significant attention. Criticism has also been directed at Meghan for rejoining social media to promote the brand shortly after discussing the harm of online abuse. Authorities note the delicate balance Meghan is attempting between personal ethics and professional strategies amid this launch.

Furthermore, Meghan and Prince Harry are reportedly keen on rehabilitating their public image in the UK, partly through promoting American Riviera Orchard. Speculations suggest Meghan might be featured in a Netflix cookery show linked to the brand. Talks of a trip to the UK by the couple, potentially aligning with the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games in May, are emerging despite previous reluctance expressed by Meghan to return to the UK.

These developments highlight the ongoing public and media fascination with the British royal family, navigating personal health concerns, entrepreneurial ventures, and efforts to manage public perception amidst scrutiny.
