There's been a whole load of relentless Meghan Markle slander following the release of her new lifestyle Netflix series titled With Love: Meghan and the launch of her new brand, As Ever.
The 43-year-old has unfortunately been no stranger to being on the receiving end of constant scrutiny from the media and online trolls alike with the latest in the saga seeing many call Meghan out for not being 'relatable' enough.
Ahead of her As Ever product launch yesterday (2 April), which currently sees available products priced from $9 to $28, the former Suits star sat down with the New York Times in a rare interview where she briefly addressed such criticism that she is 'out of touch'.

"Don’t they know my life hasn’t always been like this?" she asked.
The outlet highlighted the fact that before meeting her now-husband Prince Harry in 2016, who she later went on to welcome Archie, five, and daughter Lilibet, three, with, Meghan was 'divorced, in her mid-30s, and unsure where her next job or home would be'.
Meghan, who has also recently revealed her upcoming podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, explained that she's started up all these projects because she enjoys having a career and highlighted that she hadn’t been without a job since she was 13, long before meeting the Duke of Sussex.
"I need to work, and I love to work. This is a way I can connect my home life [raising children Lilibet and Archie] and my work," she shared.
Meghan's As Ever range includes her 'signature' raspberry spread ($14 or $9 without the packaging) which is inspired by the recipe she crafted in her own kitchen, with a blend that 'delicately mixes the sweetness of raspberries with a hint of lemon'.
"This delectable spread comes in elegant Keepsake Packaging, crafted to be cherished long after the last spoonful," the website says.
There's also a tin of flower sprinkles ($15) which Meghan put to good use in her Netflix series, showing how the edible flower petals can 'act as confetti for your plating', whether it’s for topping shortbread biscuits with a pop of colour or sprinkling over an omelette and scrambled eggs for an unexpected flourish.
Other offerings include herbal lemon ginger tea, herbal peppermint tea, herbal hibiscus tea (all tea $12), crepe mix ($14), shortbread cookie mix with flower sprinkles ($14) and limited edition wildflower honey with honeycomb ($28).
While people may find themselves debating the price for all the products, it's clear Meghan smashed it on the sales front considering the fact it didn't take long for several of the products to sell out in no time at all
