Meghan Markle's As Ever Faces Backlash Over Instagram Promo

0:00This is Corey, here with your quick two-minute entertainment update. Megan Markle's lifestyle brand, as ever, is facing some tough feedback from fans over its latest Instagram promotion. The brand launched on March 4th, 2025, starting with small-batch strawberry jam, and later adding items like herbal teas, baking, mixes, flower sprinkles, apricot spread, and orange blossom honey. The post-highlighted three fruit spreads arranged on a plain white plate with five spoons nearby. The caption describe each one's flavor profile, like strawberry for brightness, raspberry for tartness, and orange marmalade for warmth, saying they, work from breakfast to dessert. Even though comments were turned off on the post, fans vented on Reddit. Many pointed out the odd number of spoons for just three spreads, questioning if it was a counting mistake, or poor styling. Critics also called the caption awkward, comparing it to a strange recipe or vague lifestyle pitch. Some said the simple plate setup showed a lack of fresh ideas for promoting high-end products.
