Meghan Markle’s ventures continue to polarize public opinion. While supporters like Kim Kardashian praise her ambition, critics, including former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown, dismiss her projects as “total crap.” Despite the noise, Prince Harry remains fiercely loyal to his wife, with a close friend revealing to Eden Confidential: “The more people hate her, the more he’s going to stand by her.”

A Love That Defies Criticism

Harry, 40, met Meghan in 2016, and their whirlwind romance quickly became a global fascination. Years later, the Duke of Sussex remains steadfast in defending Meghan against detractors. “He adores her and doesn’t think she deserves any backlash,” the friend shared. “He’s vowed to always protect the mother of his kids.”

The couple has faced harsh critiques, notably after Spotify dropped Meghan’s podcast in 2023. A Spotify executive infamously labeled them “grifters,” while their visit to a Los Angeles food bank during wildfires drew accusations of being “disaster tourists” from actress Justine Bateman.

Meghan’s Ventures Under Fire

Meghan’s latest project, the lifestyle brand As Ever, has reignited criticism. Her $48 raspberry spread—marketed as “jam-adjacent”—was mocked online as overpriced and underwhelming. Yet insiders insist Harry shrugs off the negativity. “He hasn’t got a nasty bone in his body,” the friend noted.

Low-Profile Moves and Legal Battles

Harry’s recent trips to the U.K. have been discreet amid his ongoing legal fight to reinstate taxpayer-funded security. Last week, he quietly left Britain for Poland before making an unannounced visit to Ukraine. There, he met injured soldiers and children at a rehabilitation center in Lviv, becoming the second royal after Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, to visit war-torn Ukraine.

Loyalty Above All

Despite relentless scrutiny, Harry’s devotion to Meghan remains unshaken. As their friend concluded: “It’s horrible for him to know people don’t like his wife… but he’s determined to shield her.” Whether launching brands or navigating royal rifts, the couple’s bond appears stronger than ever—proving that for Harry, love truly does conquer all.
