Prince Harry is "horrified" by the backlash on Meghan Markle following the launch of three major lifestyle projects this year.

In January, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, announced she would be releasing 'With Love, Meghan' and 'As Ever' with both ventures arriving in March.


Meghan has also launched a fresh podcast, 'Confessions of a Female Founder', that promises to share advice and insights from a handful of amazing women who have scaled small ideas into successful companies as the Duchess of Sussex builds out a business of her own.

Despite criticism surrounding the three projects, the Duke of Sussex, 40, has previously vowed to always protect his wife.
