Meghan Markle has been blasted by fans online, who accused her of using her daughter, Princess Lilibet, to boost her brand’s sales. The Duchess of Sussex launched a £191 gift box containing flowers, tea and honey – with lifestyle brand As Ever.

The Garden Tea Bloom Box features the herbal peppermint tea, sage honey with honeycomb and fresh flowers – including peonies and jasmine. It is said to bring together “fresh blooms and simple pantry comforts”.

The limited-edition product is made in collaboration with High Camp Supply, a luxury flower purveyor based in San Francisco.

Following the launch on Wednesday evening, Meghan shared a series of new behind-the-scenes pictures from the new As Ever photoshoot.

In the first clip, Meghan is seen arranging flowers in a vase, and Lilibet runs into the shot to cuddle her.

The four-year-old can also be seen sitting on the table in front of Meghan in one picture.

In another, Meghan is seen arranging the table decor while Lilibet sits beneath it.

While some fans found Lilibet’s feature adorable, others blasted the duchess for showing her daughter.

One user said on X: “Wow, talk about peak desperation!

“She’s really shoving little Betty front and centre, convinced the kid’s going to be her magic shield against the avalanche of awful headlines.”

Another one agreed: “Show me how to merch your kids. Keeping their faces blocked is part of the merch routine.”

A third one blasted: “It’s SO FAKE!”

A fourth one commented: “I called it right after the cut off with Netflix. Meghan would use her children next. What else has she got left?”

A fifth one opined: “Instead of serving her kids up on a silver platter, she’s serving them up on a rustic farm table but she’s still serving them up.”

The launch comes amid news that the partnership between Netflix and Meghan’s lifestyle brand has ended.

Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Meghan said the duchess’s brand was “ready to stand on its own” after the deal ended.
