Bethenny Frankel is sharing her thoughts on the Duchess of Sussex.

The former "Real Housewives of New York City," 54, reality star made a TikTok video this week explaining what she thinks of Meghan Markle's upcoming Netflix show and lifestyle company rebrand.

"You guys were irritated that the trailer for her show was perfect, like Martha Stewart perfect," Frankel said in her video. "Martha Stewart real simple perfect. Then you were irritated that she was super all natural describing her new brand coming out where the name has changed from 'American Orchard' to 'As Ever.'

"The reason she can't win for losing is that there is a lack of identity and understanding as to who she is to the audience. Like first we are in Montecito and it's all perfect," she continued. "Which would have been fine, commit to the bit."

The "Skinny Girl" businesswoman added that she thinks Markle, 43, changed her brand due to the public's reaction, making it "more natural."

As for what Frankel thinks is happening with the new branding?

"Since the two of them left the monarchy, they've never been able to really get their footing because there is an identity issue," she explained. "Who she is pre-royal to who she wants to be post-royal. What [Harry's] role was as a royal to what his role is now as a post-royal.

"I think it's not a branding issue, I think its an identity and authenticity issue. But it's hard for people to be authentic when they are not really sure on their own."

Markle and Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties in 2020 and moved to Montecitio, California, with son Archie, who was less than a year old at the time.

Meghan Markle has teased what can be expected to go up for sale when her As Ever brand finally launches.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, this week unveiled her major rebrand after deciding to drop the American Riviera Orchard moniker she had in place originally.

And on Thursday, the former actress took to social media to show off her artsy side to her loyal two million Instagram followers.

“From memory lane to the memories I’m making today…,” Markle captioned her Instagram post, which featured a photo of her vision board, which she likely made for 2025.

A vision board — also sometimes known as a mood board — serves as inspiration for goals through images, photos, or items. It is widely credited for aiding with manifestation.

In the top left of her board, the “Suits” alum has a piece of paper with her signature calligraphy written in black ink on it that reads, “Farm fresh eggs, carrots two ways, sweet treats.”

Underneath hangs a black and white photo of the former working royal with farm-to-table movement pioneer Alice Waters, who is set to make a cameo in Markle’s upcoming Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan.”

A piece of fabric resembling a handkerchief is pinned nearby, and features the As Ever logo on it — which has recently become the subject of much controversy.

Also featured on Markle’s mood board are several bits and pieces from her soon-to-be-launched lifestyle brand, such as jam labels — which could be her hinting at the company’s initial product rollout.

Meghan Markle is more than welcomed to suit up again.

"Suits" creator Aaron Korsh got candid about the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex appearing on the spinoff legal drama, "Suits LA."

“So, look, to me, we have thought about whether it be Meghan or any of the other cast members coming on and playing themselves as an actor,” the 58-year-old told People while at the "Suits LA" premiere on Thursday. “I think for me that's a little ... My brain blows up at the thought of that.

“So I think it blows up the world too much,” Korsh added. “Obviously, if Meghan wants to come back under any circumstances, Meghan can come back.”

Markle stared as Rachel Zane on the "Suits" from 2011 to 2018, appearing in 108 episodes before leaving after season seven.

The outlet then asked Korsh if Markle, 43, had an open invitation to rejoin the show if she wanted to.

As the creator put it, “Of course. Of course. Always. But I think realistically, it would be too much of an explosion of the fourth wall to do that. Yeah.”

"Suits LA" premieres on Feb. 23 in the same original universe as "Suits." However, the spinoff does have a whole new cast.

Gal pals for life.

Mindy Kaling has opened up about her close friend, Meghan Markle, saying that despite the fact that Markle is married to royalty, she doesn't have "expectations of fanciness."

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has been friends with the "Office" alum for years -- and their bond grew closer when Markle moved to the US with her husband, Prince Harry.

Speaking to Time magazine, the "Mindy Project" star said the "Suits" alum is “down-to-earth.”

“I think a misconception about Meghan is that she’s in any way fussy or has expectations of fanciness,” Kaling, 45, told the outlet.

“She really is a down-to-earth person who knows a lot of fun tricks to make entertaining and cooking easier.”

Kaling is expected to make an appearance in Markle's upcoming Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," set to hit the streamer on March 4.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are soaking up the sun.

Prince William and Princess Kate are enjoying a family vacation with their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, on the private Caribbean island of Mustique after reportedly flying there from London a week ago — and their getaway has sparked interested in royal protocol.

It's been reported for decades that royal heirs — which include heir apparent, William, 42, and his and Kate's first-born son, Prince George, 11, who's second in line to the throne — are not allowed to travel on the same plane, on the small chance an accident could occur.

Before King Charles took over the throne, he had to ask his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, before embarking on a vacation with his young son Prince William in tow, and it's assumed the rule would have remained in place ever since.

On a 2024 episode of HELLO!'s "A Right Royal Podcast," a former royal pilot explained that the rule wasn't always in place.

"Interestingly, we flew all four: the Prince [Charles], the Princess [Diana], Prince William and Prince Harry, up until when Prince William was 12 years old," Graham Laurie shared.

"After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty," he continued. "Nowadays, for instance, the King can't fly with the Prince of Wales."

William and Kate, meanwhile, are no strangers to the private island of Mustique, or other parts of the Caribbean. In 2019, the family reportedly stayed in a luxury villa in Mustique while celebrating Prince George's sixth birthday.

Villa Antilles is a four-bedroom property owned by William's friend, Andrew Dunn. The house boasts a 60-foot infinity pool, a jacuzzi, private staff and ocean views. The couple was also accompanied by the Princess of Wales' parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, for that 2019 vacation.

In 2022, Kate and William stayed on Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, with the royal mom sharing her desire to bring her kids there one day.

"It was great, I wish I could stay longer," Princess Kate said, per HELLO! magazine. "We were tempted by the beaches. Amazing scenery. Next time we have to come back with the children."

Prince William is setting the record straight.

The Prince of Wales has the perfect answer after a boy named Mohammed asked if he was "the King" in January.

The sweet exchange was captured in a video circulating online from his visit to the Toxeth area of Liverpool last month.

"Hello, are you the King?" the young student asked Prince William in the clip shared on X by St. Nicholas Catholic Academy.

"No, I'm not, no. I'm his son," Prince William replied, referencing his dad, King Charles.

Something to brighten up your day!!!
So... one of our amazing year 5 Children managed to not only have a chat with @KensingtonRoyal Prince William, he also managed to get a selfie!#Appetiteforchange@StJosephCMATpic.twitter.com/Y4aEXAI5Jp

The royal then took a moment to ask Mohammed about himself.

"What's your name? Mohammed. How are you, Mohammed? Nice to see you. Did you have a good day at school?" William asked.

Someone offscreen discreetly removed Mohammed's hat as he was talking to the Prince, which garnered a laugh from William. 

"Don't worry. He needs it on to keep his ears warm. It's cold out here, it's very cold today," the Prince of Wales said as he rubbed his hands together for warmth.

St. Nicholas Catholic Academy also posted a snap of Prince William and Mohammed saying "cheese" in a selfie-style video.

The mayor of a quaint Spanish town has admitted that it simply doesn’t have the funds to sue Meghan Markle over her new business venture’s logo.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, this week unveiled the new name of her new lifestyle brand, As Ever, revealing that she dropped the initial American Riviera Orchard moniker.

However, it shortly emerged that As Ever’s logo looks near-identical to the Mallorcan village of Porreres’ traditional coat of arms, which dates back to 1370.

After making the unwelcome discovery, Xisca Mora, mayor of Porreres, said the “Suits” alum’s logo is an “exact copy” of the town’s historic emblem and said she hopes Markle will consider making the change.

Still, Mora added that if the former working royal doesn’t change her company’s logo, suing Markle for plagiarism isn’t a viable option for the town as it’s “complicated and costly.”

“To sue for plagiarism is complicated and costly, and a small town council like ours is not in a position to fight against the English crown,” Mora told local news outlet El País.

Both designs feature a single palm tree with two hummingbirds hovering on either side of it.

The mayor emphasized that the coat of arms represents “part of the idiosyncrasy of Porreres, of its heritage and cultural identity.”

Prince William and Princess Kate are headed to their namesake!

"The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Pontypridd in south Wales (my maternal hometown!) ahead of St. David’s Day on March 1 - visiting the market to make Welsh cakes and Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland," a tweet from Rebecca English, a royals editor at DailyMail read on X.

St. David is Wales' patron saint, and the day celebrates Welsh culture and achievements.

The couples' visit will come on the heels of their family getaway to the private Caribbean island of Mustique with their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Will and Kate skipped out on this year's BAFTAs on Sunday, jetting off to the Caribbean days before. This was the first time since 2017 that neither royal attended.
