Meghan Markle unveiled a new product from her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The Garden Tea Bloom Box features peppermint tea, sage honey and floral elements designed to create garden-inspired experience. Social media users began dissecting promotional photos and debating over the prices.
One user pointed out an awkward bread placement in the box, stating it looked like a phallus. Another user added that the baguette was unbalancing the basket of merch, symbolizing when she thrust herself into photo ops.
A third user stated that the product looked lazy, with silverware and real plate seeming like afterthoughts. The honey appeared to be at risk of falling out.
The backlash comes amid ongoing scrutiny surrounding Meghan Markle’s brand direction and performance since its launch. Additionally, Netflix announced it was cutting ties with As Ever.
