Meghan Markle’s Extravagant Spending Habits Criticized by Royal Correspondent
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been warned by royal correspondent Jenny Bond to control her extravagant spending habits, which do not sit well with the British public.
Bond, who worked as the BBC's royal correspondent for 26 years, understands the workings of the royal family like no other.
She has advised Meghan to be cautious about her spending habits, as she is a senior royal and a popular celebrity.
In an interview with Yahoo!
Life in 2019, Bond expressed her concern over Meghan's massive spending.
She said that although the Duchess can afford it, her extravagant lifestyle does not play well with the public.

Bond also suggested that Meghan should avoid playing games with the press and not be too much of a celebrity, as it doesn't go down well with the public.
Meghan has become known for her expensive designer clothing choices since marrying Prince Harry.
Her baby shower in New York, which cost £330,000, also drew criticism from the public.
During her pregnancy, Meghan's maternity wardrobe amounted to more than half a million pounds, with the Duchess often opting for designer numbers.
According to the Mail, Meghan's designer wardrobe totalled more than half a million pounds.
During a three-day tour of Morocco in February 2019, Meghan's clothing alone was estimated to have cost over £110,000, thanks to a Kaftan-styled eagle gown believed to be worth as much as £90,000.
Bond's advice to Meghan comes at a time when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are facing criticism from the public and the media.
In his new unauthorized biography, “Meghan, A Hollywood Princesses,” royal author Andrew Morton claims that Prince Harry and Meghan suspected that the entire institution was conspiring against them after the Duke's planned one-to-one meeting with the Queen was dropped.
According to Morton, the last-minute cancellation of the meeting left Harry concerned about the impact of internal politics on his relationship with his grandmother.
The cancellation also made Harry and Meghan fear that the entire institution of the royal family was turning against them.
However, Morton was not given permission to write the book by the Duchess of Sussex and has never met her.
In conclusion, as a senior royal and a popular celebrity, Meghan needs to be cautious about her spending habits and avoid playing games with the press.
Bond's advice is timely, given the criticism that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been facing from the public and the media.
It remains to be seen whether Meghan will take Bond's advice to heart and rein in her extravagant spending habits.
