Meghan Markle Criticized Over Neutral-Toned ‘As Ever’ Holiday Promo

The subdued video revived questions about her branding after a recent communications exit.

Overview

  • On Saturday, Markle shared an Instagram clip placing a gift into a neutral-toned stocking against beige-and-brown holiday décor with the caption, “Oh, we see you! Not even Thanksgiving yet, and you’ve already got this in the bag.”
  • Online reactions described the styling as un-festive or depressing, with many referencing her 2022 Netflix remarks about wearing muted colors during her time as a working royal.
  • In the video, she wears an olive or brown silk dress that matches the set’s earth-tone palette.
  • The promotion highlights As Ever holiday items that outlets report include a $64 candle, champagne, and a mulled spice kit.
  • Coverage also notes the recent departure of communications director Emily Robinson after four months, with an Archewell spokesperson praising her completed projects as some commentators frame the turnover as instability.
