The release of previously unseen photos of the Sussexes’ wedding day by Meghan Markle could be a marketing move for one of her new candles. Meghan posted 24 wedding photos to her 4.5 million followers on Instagram on Tuesday to mark her eighth wedding anniversary with Prince Harry.
The photos included images of the couple dancing and smiling, the ceremony itself and also Sir Elton John performing at the wedding. Alison Boshoff. the Daily Mail’s editor-at-large, suggested the “photo dump” is intended to “funnel” people towards purchasing a new candle from Meghan’s As Ever brand.
Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, she said: “Meghan [for their previous anniversary] posted one picture of a cork board which was a kind of a mood board of how in love they are, including like baby scans and whatever… but this year it’s so different.
“I wonder why? Can I direct your attention to a very nice candle called ‘519’, which the Americans, as you know, reverse the date, that’s their wedding date, and they’ve released an anniversary candle.
“I can’t help now — call me a horrible person — but I fear that this huge candid photo dump was intended to funnel people because this year they really have to make some money. This is the year when her brand has to really work otherwise all wheels come off.”
