Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could be planning “to launch the alternative” to the Firm, according to a royal expert.

Along with the help of the Kardashians, the couple could be trying to pitch themselves as an alternative version of the Royal Family.

Meghan released her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, earlier this month – with, so far, very little details on what is to come. With Meghan’s mum previously spending time with Kris Jenner and Harry’s recently been seen catching up with Corey Gamble, Mr Eden has suggested that the Sussexes are looking for help in branching themselves as potential competitors for the Royal Family.

After unsubstantiated rumours surrounding the Princess of Wales’s health spread online, the Sussex’s ally Kim Kardashian also posted a series of photos of herself on Instagram along with the caption: “On my way to go find Kate”.

Taking to his latest Daily Mail column, Mr Eden wrote: “while the Kardashian clan can’t offer any tips on regal behaviour, there’s no doubt they can provide money-making advice”.
