Meghan Markle Faces Criticism for Using Kids in Marketing Blitz
URGENT UPDATE: Meghan Markle is facing backlash after featuring her children, Archie and Lilibet, in a recent marketing campaign for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Sources confirm that royal aides are criticizing the Duchess for contradicting her previous stance on privacy as she gears up for the holiday season.
In a promotional email sent earlier today, Markle shared heartwarming images of her family enjoying a garden harvest at their Montecito home. While many fans found the newsletter endearing, it has sparked significant controversy among royal insiders. “The children are now part of the branding architecture,” an unnamed source told #ShuterScoop. “After years of insisting on privacy, she’s inserting them into sales copy.”
The newsletter highlights the family’s activities, including harvesting herbs for Markle’s new product, Sage Honey. “When it comes to our founder’s favorites, the delicate, herbaceous flavor of sage ranks high on the list,” the newsletter states. Markle describes her family’s sunny strolls as “magical moments,” with Archie and Lilibet running alongside their dogs, Pula and Mia.
This public display of her children has raised eyebrows, particularly given Markle’s previous insistence on keeping them out of the public eye. A royal aide pointed out, “She has always insisted the kids must be kept out of public life. Now they’re characters in a marketing narrative.”
As the holiday season approaches, this controversy adds a new layer to Markle’s already complex relationship with royal traditions and expectations. Observers are keenly watching how this development will impact her brand and family dynamics moving forward.
Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding story as public reactions continue to pour in.
