Meghan Markle's As Ever products, including £11 jam and £22 honey - went on sale this week
The comments were made about her Netflix partnership, through which she sold products.
The jams were sold under her new company, which had faced a string of setbacks before finally launching.
However, royal experts had criticised her products as 'out of touch,' especially given the prices — from £11 for a jar of jam to £22 for limited-edition honey.
The products were developed in collaboration with the Netflix Consumer Products group.
Esther Okraku said: " I think Netflix are going to have to swallow the fact that they've invested in the world's most boring and unprofitable couple.
"Spotify realised quite early on and got out early."
The Royal Expert added that she feels Meghan has nothing to lose if her business fails.
"I really don't think the public understands just how little is at stake for Meghan," Esther said
"Like, who cares if it ever fails?
"It wasn't exactly a passion project."
Prince Harry and his upstart wife must be honest about their money - they've made millions from the royals
It comes after Royal Author Phil Dampier claimed that Netflix is now keen to 'get some of their money back', with the launch of the items.
He explained on the show: 'I think having invested $100million in the shows that they did - and the thing about Polo, which universally panned - but I mean, they've obviously made a decision.
'They're going to stick with them for the time being.
'They're going to go for it, and they're going in for a penny, in for a pound.
'And, you know, if they can get some money back with the merchandising, great.'
Previously, Esther stated that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle must be 'honest' about their money, having made millions from the royal family.
Kensington Palace revealed Prince William pays the highest rate of income tax on his private estate, the Duchy of Cornwall, however, the amount was not disclosed.
Esther argued that if some people think the Prince of Wales should reveal the tax amount, so should his brother Prince Harry.
Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, she shared: 'It's an uncomfortable conversation that I think is completely unnecessary, and I think if you're going to have those conversations, then you might as well have them about Harry as well, he inherited, what, £10 million from the late Queen Mother.'
The Sun's Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson chimed in: 'Again, that's all very secretive. We don't know the exact figures.'
Esther continued: 'Exactly, but why is no one asking him?
'I mean, him and his upstart wife arguably haven't earned that money by any means.
'You know, why aren't we criticising them? Because it's just distasteful.
'And I think we should extend the same courtesy to William.'

Kerry Katona contacted ex Brian McFadden's new wife on wedding day
Kerry Katona has revealed that she reached out to her ex-husband Brian McFadden's new wife, Danielle Parkinson, on the day of their wedding with a message for the couple. Almost two decades after splitting from Brian McFadden, Kerry Katona has revealed that she reached out to the Westlife singer's new wife, Danielle Parkinson, on their wedding day earlier this month. Kerry, who shares daughters Molly and Lilly-Sue with Brian, said in her weekly New! Magazine column that she had sent Danielle a text on the morning of her wedding - days after it was reported the exes would 'never be friends'. "My ex, Brian McFadden, got married earlier this month and I just want to wish him and his wife Danielle a lifetime of happiness," began Kerry in the column. Following reports that the singer had 'burned all bridges' with Brian, she hit back by continuing: "I find it sad though that as he gets married, everyone writes stories about me. "His wedding has nothing to do with me at all. I texted Danielle to wish them a happy day– it looked like a beautiful celebration and I hope they had a ball," finished Kerry. While Kerry's two eldest daughters were at the nuptials, she didn't divulge on whether they enjoyed the day or not. Alongside Molly and Lilly, Kerry is a mum to Heidi and Max - whose dad is taxi driver Mark Croft - and daughter DJ, who Kerry welcomed with her late third husband George Kay. Kerry's olive branch to Brian and Danielle comes after a tumultuous relationship between the exes, with Kerry previously slamming Brian for being a 's**t dad' to their daughters. "He was a s**t dad. I'm the one who provides for them.," she said on a podcast in 2023. Public comments like these have reportedly made their co-parenting relationship strained, a source claimed last week. A source told The Sun: "Kerry has burnt her bridges with Brian, thanks to years of speaking out of turn. She's got a heart of gold but a big mouth and that has always been her downfall. "Kerry has a bad habit of not thinking before she speaks and it's landed her in hot water with Brian on many occasions. She'll say something publicly that is either outrageous or something she should have kept private between them and it gets her in trouble." However, Kerry said just days before the reports that she would 'love' to be friends with him "I wish Brian and I could have stayed friends. Molly went to watch him at a festival last week and I would have loved to have gone with her. It would be great to have a better relationship," she wrote in her column last week. Brian rarely speaks about Kerry and went to great lengths not to mention her last year's BBC documentary, Boybands Forever. In a toe-curling exchange, the interviewer asks him on camera: 'Marrying Kerry, you're sort of…' as Brian quickly interjects: 'I don't want to talk about her, no. Definitely no.'

'Woke' Netflix bosses axe iconic scene from Pride and Prejudice remake to 'avoid objectifying men'
Netflix bosses have axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice in a new 'woke' move to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price. The famous scene turned Oscar-winner Firth into a sex symbol and also rocketed the shirt's sale price 30 years later, after auctioneers estimated it would be sold for between £7,000 and £10,000. The sale contained costumes archived by Cosprop, a costume house founded by Oscar-winning designer John Bright in 1965. Oscar-winner Firth played Fitzwilliam Darcy in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, opposite Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet - who is surprised when she visits his estate, Pemberley, to find him wet and not properly dressed. The moment has been re-imagined in Netflix series Bridgerton, when British actor Jonathan Bailey steps out of a lake, and was also referenced in Bridget Jones's Diary, which stars Firth as another Mr Darcy, a nod to his portrayal by writer Helen Fielding. The famous 'wet shirt' was designed by renowned costume designer Dinah Collin and then made by Cosprop. Cosprop's general manager Chris Garlick said multiple versions of the shirt were made as it was worn in wet and dry scenes, and in case of re-takes. The whereabouts of three fully verified shirts are known, according to Kerry Taylor. Almost 30 years after the scene first aired, the now dry shirt was sold for a hammer price of £20,000, with the buyer's premium of £5,000 taking the overall total to £25,000, all of which will go to charity. Costumes from TV drama series including Poldark, Peaky Blinders and Downton Abbey also went under the hammer.
