Meghan Markle Under Fire Again Over 'Flop' Ventures and Growing Criticism. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, finds herself facing fresh criticism as scrutiny grows around her ventures outside the royal spotlight. Critics argue this latest backlash is another example of the former Hollywood star's ventures failing to resonate with her audience, raising questions about her ambitions.

One of Meghan’s recent projects drawing criticism is her 2021 children’s book, *The Bench*. While it initially made headlines, the book reportedly did not achieve commercial success. According to industry experts, the book has sold only 8,000 copies in the UK since its release, a figure that places Meghan atop the list of "Celebrities Whose Children’s Books Have Flopped."

Based on a poem she wrote for Prince Harry, *The Bench* was intended to celebrate the bond between a father and son. However, some critics felt the book missed the mark. Times critic Alex O’Connell notably commented that it “lacks the crucial ingredients for a successful tale for this age group: a good story and a basic rhythm.” Other children’s authors have echoed similar sentiments, questioning Meghan’s understanding and appreciation for the art of writing for young audiences.

Despite the criticism, *The Bench* reportedly added around £500,000 to Meghan’s net worth for the 40-page collection. Written shortly after the birth of her son, Prince Archie, the book reflects Meghan’s personal experiences but has left audiences questioning whether her ventures prioritize her brand over genuine connection with readers.

As Meghan Markle navigates these public reactions, questions linger about her long-term impact and whether her projects serve her audience or her ambitions.
