Meghan Markle faces scrutiny over As Ever brand promotions

Meghan Markle is facing social media scrutiny following promotional content for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. A video featuring Markle in a kitchen sparked criticism from users who noted that the gas stove appeared to be turned off despite her appearing to stir a pot.

Additionally, the launch of her luxury holiday collection, which includes a $148 chocolate advent calendar inspired by her former Montecito home, has drawn mixed reactions. While fans have praised the brand, some religious figures criticized the high price point of the product. This controversy reportedly led to some clergy members temporarily locking their social media profiles due to online harassment.

On a personal note, reports indicate potential disagreements between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle regarding holiday plans. While Harry reportedly wishes to spend Christmas in the United Kingdom to connect with family, Meghan is said to prefer celebrating in California to maintain ties with her mother and her previous lifestyle. The couple has recently been spending more time in the UK following their summer return.
