Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been slammed for their “self-promotion” efforts conducted during the Trooping the Colour birthday celebrations for King Charles III at the weekend.The royal expert was left shocked after Meghan’s ‘American Riviera Orchard’ products were displayed on social media around the same time as Princess Kate’s first official royal appearance this year.Kinsey Schofield, speaking on Talk TV, discussed why the products were promoted online by Harry’s friend, Nacho Figueras, on his social media platform, noting: “If you can’t buy the product on American Riviera Orchard, which you can’t, then what this amounts to is just self-promotion.”She added: “I can’t believe this is real. It makes these two look so small. Here comes the self-promotion train that is the Sus𝑠e𝑥 team.”Meghan Markle gifted dog biscuits and more jars of jam to one of Prince Harry’s close friends, and Nacho showed off the gifts thought to be from the Duchess’ lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard on his Instagram story.

A jar of raspberry jam and dog biscuits were gifted to polo-playing pal Nacho. The dog biscuits were given in a large glass jar, also with a handwritten label and Nacho posted a photo of them next to his pup, Nina Iggy.

Kinsey also commented on efforts made by Meghan: “Times are rough over in Montecito when it’s dog biscuits you are trying to use to upstage the Princess of Wales. How petty. How small.”Princes Kate made her first public appearance at this year’s Trooping the Colour on June 15. It marks her first public appearance this year, as she last stepped out on Christmas Day. She had to take a step back from public duties following major abdominal surgery in January and her subsequent cancer diagnosis.

Kate revealed she has “good days and bad days” undergoing gruelling chemotherapy for cancer but acknowledges she’s “not out of the woods yet”.Senior working royals attended the King’s official birthday celebrations and this week, many have made an appearance at Royal Ascot – a family favourite event.Kinsey said: “Prince Harry must be sitting back and watching his old world and thinking I miss that aspect of my life. I am sitting in Montecito California with no friends apart from Ellen DeGeneres.”
