Meghan Markle is once again in the spotlight, this time over a lifestyle newsletter that has divided the internet. In a recent update shared through her brand, As Ever, Markle reflected on her fondness for tea and offered readers a gentle guide to creating a more mindful, intentional tea-drinking ritual. But while the message leaned into calm and simplicity, the response online quickly turned sharp.
Meghan Markle’s As Ever newsletter about tea-making slammed online
In the newsletter, Meghan Markle framed tea as more than just a beverage. She described it as a moment to pause. “We love turning a daily ritual, like a cup of tea, into a quiet invitation to slow down,” she wrote, encouraging readers to focus less on perfection and more on presence. She went on to outline how to set the mood, suggesting a thoughtfully arranged table with minimal clutter, soft candlelight, folded linens, and a selection of teas ready to brew.
Markle recommended following a few traditional steps: warming the teapot, pouring carefully, and offering classic additions like milk or lemon. To round out the experience, she suggested pairing tea with something sweet, such as strawberry spread on a croissant.
Several users questioned Markle’s authority on the subject, particularly given her American background and relatively brief time living in the UK. One widely circulated post mocked the idea of her explaining “proper tea service,” writing, “Thank GOD the American Douchess living in the US who spent 5 whole minutes in the UK is here to tell us how to make a proper tea service. Hallelujah. She didn’t even LIKE the UK, but she’ll drift off their culture.”
Others dismissed the advice as overly basic or obvious, writing, “Never would’ve guessed I needed to warm the pot, pour, and use milk or lemon. What great tips!” One viewer mocked her writing, “When did she become an expert? Did she also dump those nasty flower sprinkles in that cup? She’s like throwing darts at a board with ideas & hopes something sticks. Sorry, honey, it isn’t gonna work…ever.”
