Princess Kate fans have donated £15,000 to a fundraising page after Meghan Markle's website was hijacked.
The Duchess of Sussex's new American Riviera Orchard lifestyle brand was redirected by what appeared to be a fan of the Princess of Wales.
The American web link takes fans to the Duchess of Sussex's website for her business venture.
However, the UK domain name was purchased by someone who linked it to a food bank with a message saying "Thoughts with Catherine".

Princess Kate fans have donated £15,351 to the Trussell Trust as of the time of writing.
This charity works to end the need for food banks in the UK.
Fans clicking on the link "americanrivieraorchard.uk" will be taken to a page asking for donations for the UK-based charity.
The home page reads: "Forgiveness. Permission. Please donate to the Trussell Trust".

The message reads in all lower-case: "This is not meghan but hopefully meghan wouldn't mind. thoughts with catherine, princess of wales and his majesty the king."
It continued: "Please note, the purchase of the americanrivieraorchard.uk domain name and this justgiving page are the full extent of this exclusively charitable mission. someone else is flogging the tea towels!"
The message of support to the Princess of Wales comes after she revealed she began a course of preventative chemotherapy in March.
