It seems like the world can’t get enough of the Duchess of Sussex. No matter what you think of her, her presence in the media isn’t something you can easily ignore.
This time, Meghan Markle has found herself in the center of a mockery.
The controversy began on Sky News Australia, where host Caleb Bond expressed his strong disapproval of Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. During the broadcast, Bond was blunt and unapologetic in his remarks.
“If you’ve watched that series she put out on Netflix, With Love, Meghan, you probably haven’t seen it. Don’t waste your time, I tried it out just so I could tell you it’s a load of c**p.”
He the ridiculed both the concept of the show and her product line, saying: “But she shows herself in a house which she claims to be hers, which isn’t her house, making jam and all sorts of things. Which she’s been trying to sell, but it turns out nobody wants to buy the jam, and there are massive reserves of it at the Netflix HQ, where they are storing it.”
The broadcast also reported that approximately 137,465 jars of jam were left in storage, with staff members reportedly helping themselves to the jam.
“Because it’s not selling, 137,465 jars of this stuff, the staff are now just taking it. They’re just going into the warehouse and taking it for free because no one wants to buy it, just like no one wants to buy anything this woman sells,” Bond added.
As per reports, it’s not just the jam but candles, wine, and her specialty flower sprinkles that were being stored at Netflix’s Hollywood campus, with one insider stating, “Apparently, there are two storage rooms packed with As ever product. They’re literally just giving it away to employees. One (staffer) walked out with 10 products for free.” Another person added that there’s so much overstock.
At the time Meghan’s brand launched, it was reported that everything got sold within an hour, but as it turns out, that momentum didn’t really last long, or at least as long as she probably expected it would.
Bond’s comment about the Duchess wasn’t the only media mockery she went through recently.
During an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, actress Jennifer Tilly spoke about the habit of googling people, and referenced Meghan’s comment from 2021 when she said she had never googled the royals when she started her now-husband, Prince Harry.
“I googled Amanda (Frances), just like I Googled everyone else in the group. I know all the history of Amanda. It’s all out there; it’s on Reddit. It’s everywhere,” Tilly said. “Even the people in the group that are saying, ’Oh, I never Google anyone,’ We all Google everybody. It’s like Meghan Markle saying, ’I never Googled Prince Harry before I dated him,’ it’s like Meghan, please.”
During the 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Meghan said, “I didn’t do any research about what that would mean. I didn’t feel any need to, because everything I needed to know, he was sharing with me. Everything we thought I needed to know, he was telling me.”
Her husband also claimed his wife didn’t google the family according to his all tell-memoir Spare in which he wrote that Meghan once mistook his uncle for his grandmother’s assistant.
Because of one reason or another, it seems like the Duchess of Sussex is under constant scrutiny. Every new product launch, every newsworthy comment, and every television appearance is immediately fodder for public and media discussion.
