Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle's new Goop-style website has been hijacked.
The 42-year-old mother-of-two launched the American Riviera Orchard website in March and this week sent jars of limited-edition strawberry jam to friends, announcing her new venture's first product, “Soft.” Launch” was held.
It has emerged that the domain name of her business was stolen in the UK by someone believed to be a fan of her sister-in-law, Duchess Kate.
The American Riviera link takes users to Meghan's website, but the British version, americanriveriaorchard.uk, was bought by someone and linked to a food bank, The Sun revealed.
Web users are being asked to donate to the UK-based charity, with a message on the site reading: “Thoughts of Catherine.”
The site's home page adds: permission. Please donate to the Trussell Trust. ', which will take your browser to her Trussell Trust charity's Just Giving fundraiser.
The message read, “It's not Duchess Meghan. I hope Duchess Meghan doesn't mind. My thoughts are with Catherine. Sorry.''
The memo appears to refer to the fact that Katherine, 42, was diagnosed with cancer in her body following major abdominal surgery in January and is undergoing preventive chemotherapy.
It is unclear who bought the British domain, and the charity Trussell Trust admitted it had not set up a web page and was unaware of the fake site's existence.
However, the linked page has so far raised £56 of the £1,000 donation target, with some users posting derogatory comments and messages of support for Kate.
The move comes after the princess' husband Prince William, 41, returned to royal duties after visiting food distribution charity Surplus to Supper.
Duchess Kate's goodwill visit comes after she revealed her cancer diagnosis to the world in a video message after spending several weeks out of the spotlight recovering from stomach surgery. It was his first public service.
