### Meghan Markle’s Latest Marketing Scheme: A Pop-Up Store Controversy

In the ever-evolving world of celebrity antics, Meghan Markle, often dubbed the Duchess of Delusion, seems to be stirring the pot once again.

The latest buzz?

According to a recent blind item on CDN, she's concocting an elaborate marketing strategy that involves creating a faux frenzy around her upcoming products by hiring individuals to swarm her pop-up stores.

This tactic aims to give the impression that the public is clamoring for whatever high-priced items she's planning to sell.

This isn't exactly a novel approach in the realm of celebrity ventures.

Remember “The Bench”?

That heartfelt yet perplexing picture book that sold out while simultaneously gathering dust on discount shelves?

Rumor had it that copies were purchased under the guise of donations to inflate its bestseller status artificially.

Now, it seems Markle is dusting off that same playbook, but this time, she's taking it to retail.

Once upon a time, the so-called “Meghan Effect” was said to make handbags and dresses fly off the shelves whenever she wore them.

These days, however, the reality is quite different.

If she still possessed the power to influence consumer behavior, designers would be tripping over themselves to sign her up.

Instead, the only demand she appears to generate is the urgent need for damage control from brands associated with her.

But fear not!

If genuine interest isn't forthcoming, why not create the illusion of a shopping frenzy?

It's a classic case of “fake it till you make it.” So, where will these enthusiastic fans who are supposedly eager to snatch up her goods come from?

Perhaps they're the same individuals who mysteriously appeared at Elle's television celebration, showering her with admiration as if she were a divine figure.

Ironically, she greeted them with a cheery “good to see you again,” despite having never met them before.

Picture this: a select group of strategically placed shoppers darting in and out of the pop-up stores, making staggered purchases using different payment methods.

The goal?

To make the entire spectacle seem organic and spontaneous.

It sounds like a logistical nightmare, but hey, anything for the cause, right?

And what happens after the miraculous sell-out?

Cue the headlines proclaiming that Meghan's pop-up stores were wiped clean in mere hours.

Forget the fact that all those products might be stashed away in a storage unit somewhere, ready to be distributed as “heartfelt tokens of appreciation” to hotels, airlines, and charities.

Let's not overlook that some of those leftover books still haven't found a proper home.

Netflix, always eager to support her endeavors, might fall for this charade.

They could very well declare, “Wow, Meghan, your merchandise is clearly in high demand!

It flew off the shelves in just one day.” In stark contrast to their internal viewing data, they might even believe that her charm and influence are nothing short of extraordinary.

But here lies the crux of the matter: legitimate businesses keep a close eye on sales volume.

If Markle is attempting to replicate the retail equivalent of what some publishers do with books, the stores will certainly catch on.

They can track the same credit cards being used, the same faces cycling in and out, and the sheer absurdity of it all.

Take Texas, for instance—where Markle has precisely zero fans.

Even without a blind item spilling the details, it's easy to predict how this saga will unfold.

The stunts, the smoke and mirrors, and the frantic efforts to maintain relevance are all part of the game.

So, when is launch day?
