The rift between King Charles III and Meghan Markle began when Prince Harry stepped down from their royal duties, a decision that reportedly left King Charles devastated. Despite his multiple attempts to bring the couple back to England, including offers of royal accommodations, they remained steadfast in their decision.

Instead of reconciling, Harry and Meghan have been vocal critics of the monarchy through various platforms, including interviews, their Netflix series, and Harry's memoir "Spare." This has only deepened the divide between them and the royal family.

King Charles has expressed his sorrow at being unable to spend time with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Meghan Markle, however, has declined to visit London with the children, citing security concerns despite the king's assurances.

Directly competing with Meghan

In response to this, King Charles has decided to take direct action against Meghan's business ventures. The rivalry began with Buckingham Palace releasing a line of organic strawberry jam, directly competing with Meghan's American Riviera Orchard (ARO) product.

King Charles escalated this competition by introducing a new range of pet products under the Royal Collection Trust.

These items, including dog bowls and toy bones with the "Buckingham Palace" label, appear to be a strategic move against Meghan's ARO company, which has been expanding into pet food and accessories.

Last month, Meghan launched her own line of organic dog biscuits, further intensifying the competition.

"The accessories have been designed "for pampered pooches and fabulous felines" exclusively for the Royal Collection Trust," the official website reads.

"Your pet can now wolf down its grub from a £30 china bowl with 22-carat gold edging and a crown motif. It boasts an inscription from Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, or the Palace of Holyroodhouse for monarchy-loving pets north of the border.

"Dogs can gnaw on a £19.96 pink bone created by designer Rory Hutton. There is also a matching bandana for £10.96 ($14), a bow tie for £12.95 ($16.50), and a £35 ($44.6) coat. A £90 ($114.90) hamper of goodies will ensure yours is "the best dressed four-legged friend.

"For the pampered pooch or fabulous feline in your life, this hamper has all the accessories needed to be the best-dressed four-legged friend. Upgrade your usual pet bowl with this Windsor Castle English Fine Bone China pet bowl with a glossy white finish and 22-carat burnished gold trimmings."
