Meghan Markle shamelessly flaunts her wealth, sparking intense criticism
Meghan Markle is once again causing controversy with her Netflix show “With Love, Meghan”. From sprinkling flowers on everyday dishes to outfits worth over $150,000, critics accuse the duchess of flaunting her wealth. While some enjoy the luxury, others see it as unrealistic and tactless.
Meghan Markle has been no stranger to controversy since the start of her relationship with Prince Harry. Her name appears frequently in the media, often in connection with various scandals. Some have questioned her motives and suspect that she married into the royal family to boost her political profile. Meanwhile, the alleged tension between Meghan and Kate Middleton made headlines, fueled by incidents like Princess Charlotte's infamous dress.
There have also been rumors about Meghan's relationship with Pippa Middleton, suggesting friction due to Meghan's high-profile image and the criticism she attracts online. And, of course, the moment Meghan and Harry shocked the world by stepping away from their roles as working royals to move to California - an event that gave rise to the term "Megxit" and infuriated Prince Harry.
Now Meghan is at the center of another debate over her newly released Netflix show With Love, Meghan. The show, which is reminiscent of Martha Stewart's style of housework, was criticized for its portrayal of the duchess's wealth. Viewers have pointed out her expensive lifestyle products, lavish wardrobe and even decorative touches like floral displays, which some see as a bragging point about her assets.
At a time when many people are tightening their belts, Meghan's display of luxury is seen by some as unrealistic and tactless. While some view the series as a form of escape into their Montecito lifestyle, most viewers roll their eyes at what they perceive as its escapism.
What's with the floral sprinkles and $150,000+ outfits?
Although Meghan Markle's show had many memorable moments - such as the awkward moment when she corrected Mindy Kaling - she was often criticized for her love of "petals", or dried flower petals. Meghan has openly admitted that she loves sprinkling these sprinkles on almost everything, turning everyday meals into little moments of charm and romance. Fans who have watched the entire series know how addicted she is to this expensive habit.
She spoke about floral sprinkles again at the Time 100 Summit in New York City on April 24, saying, "They represent those little moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we all crave in our everyday lives."
Of course, floral sprinkles may not be cause for excitement for many people struggling with real-life challenges. Meghan revealed that she decorates everything she eats with dried flower petals - from salads and yogurt parfaits to scrambled eggs - transforming even the simplest meals into something visually beautiful.
She also sells her own line of floral sprinkles through the website As Ever , at a hefty price of $15 for just 0.18 ounces. If you want to follow Meghan's lead and sprinkle it on everything, be prepared to dig deep into your pockets because this is an expensive habit that won't add any additional flavor to your food.
Unsurprisingly, social media has been buzzing about her obsession with flowers. One X user tweeted: "Shortbread cookies + floral sprinkles + high price = Meghan Markle's As Ever." Another commented: "I wish I was as out of touch with reality as she is."
Her expensive taste is not limited to floral decorations. The outfits Meghan wore on the show were said to have cost a staggering $172,000 in total, further fueling the public's fascination - and criticism - with her luxurious lifestyle.
