Bethenny Frankel offers blunt business advice to Meghan Markle after string of setbacks

Bethany Frankle isn’t holding back and Megan Markle is getting some blunt business advice from the reality star turned entrepreneur. Speaking to US Weekly after being named entrepreneur of the year, the former Real Housewives of New York City star said she believes Megan and Prince Harry’s recent ventures have struggled because they took on too much too fast. “They didn’t want the fame. They didn’t want to give up the lifestyle and it’s expensive, Frankle said, pointing to the couple’s Monteceto life and the challenge of making multiple projects succeed at once. They made all these different deals in a short window of time, and it’s hard to land all of them. Frankle noted that even with their high-profile brand, turning projects into long-term successes takes time, patience, and a lot of strategy. “Business is really hard. If it was easy, everybody would be good at it,” she added, while still praising Megan and Harry’s loyalty to each other. Her comments come just days after the Duke and Duchess quietly extended their Netflix partnership, but with far less buzz and reportedly far less money than their previous $100 million deal. One insider told Page 6, “The streamer’s new offer is no risk for Netflix, but saves them both reputationally.” Meanwhile, Megan is moving forward with her lifestyle brand as ever, which has already seen a fair share of hiccups, including a name change from American Riviera Orchard following trademark rejections and what Megan herself has admitted were mistakes during the brand’s early twists and turns. Frankle may have delivered her advice with a little sting, but her point is clear. In business, even royals don’t get a free pass to the top.

Bethenny Frankel is sharing her unfiltered thoughts on why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s latest business ventures haven’t been landing. The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum says the couple rushed into too many deals at once, pointing to the challenges of building a brand while maintaining a lavish Montecito lifestyle. She also weighed in on Meghan’s Netflix deal and the rocky start for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Watch the full video for Frankel’s candid advice and her take on what it really takes to succeed in business.
