Meghan Markle's 'Laughing Stock' Brand: Duchess 'Can't Find CEO' or Other Employees for Venture Due to 'Demanding' Behavior

Meghan Markle is having problems behind the scenes of her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, and most of the issues seem to revolve around her.

"She is very upset about what is happening with this American Orchard Rivera; she is not happy about how it has been received," royal author Angela Levin told GBN. "The jam was a bit of a laughing stock, she sent it off to about 50 friends and only a few replied."

"Everyone said that she is in a jam. It is not moving forward," she added. "She has had a lot of trouble finding a CEO to run it for her and she is having a lot of trouble finding a chef. Some of them have gone along to see how it is but they say she is so meticulous about everything."

Levin continued: "She's so demanding and they don't really want that. These are chefs who have good jobs, and they're not people who are learning."

"So it's a bit of a stalemate, but she has got 150 things on her link, and she's applied for a global patent," Levin added. "Some of the things [she will be selling] are fabric gift wraps, cocktail napkins, meditation maps, pillows for household pets, a whole range of things from A to Z."

She continued: "We'll have to see how she gets on. I think she's she's finding it much more difficult than she thought. I think she thought she would sail in and everybody would think it was wonderful, which I think she does a lot about herself. But actually it's jolly hard work."

These precarious insights come amid Meghan's royal titles making headlines as King Charles has been "urged" to strip her and Prince Harry's royal links. The ex-working actress could become known as "Princess Henry" if her Duchess title is axed.

The British monarchy is rooted in centuries of male primogeniture, which means males take precedence in both titles and birth order, and this extends to the British nobility as well. Britain's six reigning queens only became "female kings" because no younger brother or male-line heir existed. Although a 2013 law signed by the late Queen Elizabeth II allows older sisters to now accede to the throne before a younger brother, names and titles would be a "quagmire" to sort out.

Females of no royal birth who marry royal men take on all their styles and titles, which means they are first and foremost, "Princess (husband's first name)." A title typically precedes this, but there are exceptions, such as Princess Michael of Kent.
