Meghan Markle’s Honey Scandal: It’s Giving… Williams Sonoma.
Meghan Markle launches her fancy new lifestyle brand As Ever, giving us handwritten labels, soft-focus promo pics, and a whole vibe that screams “farmhouse chic meets Montecito millions.” Cute, right?
Well… hold the toast. Because the internet just discovered that her $28 orange blossom honey looks nearly identical to one sold by Savannah Bee Company — a brand already stocked at, wait for it, Williams Sonoma.
Meghan’s honey jar has less product and costs more than the others. We’re talking 255 grams for $28, compared to 340 grams for $18 from Savannah Bee. At this point, it’s giving branded markup, not bespoke beekeeping.
🐝 Honey, This Ain’t It
If you’re wondering how this all blew up — welcome to the internet. Fans started comparing product descriptions, packaging, and even the shade of the honey. Turns out, Savannah Bee is likely supplying everyone, including Meghan’s team and even Williams Sonoma’s Bridgerton-branded honey.
Now that’s a crossover no one asked for.
And while we all know celebrity brands love to “curate” instead of “create,” Markle positioned As Ever as deeply personal. You know, signed with love, handpicked by Meghan, crafted for moments that matter… yada yada.
But Twitter (X? Whatever) was quick to call it out. One user said it best:
“You’re not buying honey — you’re buying her signature.”
And at nearly $30 a jar, that signature better come with a tiara and a tea set.
🧐 Scarcity or Strategy?
Here’s where it gets a little “Kris Jenner meets Goop.” After the honey launched, it sold out fast — and fans started whispering that the limited quantities weren’t just accidental. Meghan’s not trying to be the next Trader Joe’s. She’s trying to show the world that anything with her name on it flies off the shelf.
It’s a move straight from the influencer playbook: small batch, big buzz, zero accountability.
“She’s not trying to sell jam,” one commenter posted. “She’s selling herself as a lifestyle.”
Honestly? Fair.
🪞 Déjà Vu All Over Again
This isn’t Meghan’s first trip through the scandal blender. Remember back in February when As Ever got dragged for allegedly ripping off a Spanish town’s coat of arms for its logo? The town’s mayor even chimed in and basically said, “Yeah, that’s ours. She just changed the birds.”
(You can’t make this stuff up.)
Add to that the As Ever tea line, which fans claim is just repackaged Republic of Tea blends, and well… we’re seeing a pattern.
👀 We’ve Seen This Before
Celebrity brands live and die by aesthetics. And Meghan knows how to sell a story. But if you’re going to charge luxury prices, fans expect more than a reskinned jar and a Pinterest photoshoot.
At the end of the day, is As Ever a cozy lifestyle brand or just a glossy rebrand of what we already have on our kitchen shelves?
Time (and TikTok) will tell. But one thing’s for sure: Meghan’s fans are loyal… and her critics? Even more obsessed.

Basically she is doing a drop shipping scheme at this point, funny thing that your usual drop shipping fronts can’t promote their shit on a dedicated Netflix series and a podcast to accompany it. Oh Meghan, this is embarrassing.
On the other hand Mexit brought to us the funniest fandom ever, who eats up the dumbest shit she brings, including but not limited to buying pretzels from the store and moving them from their original package to a diy one. There are real people there who think this is a groundbreaking advice.
It’s obvious that the author is a royal fan and hates Megan. Every week there is another negative article about her here. It’s a shame that you guy’s just can’t let her be and live her life. A very biased article written by someone who hates her. SMDH.
Obvi… u didn’t read the article. I’m pointing out facts that have been written about and proven, but im actually a big meghan fan. Try reading before commenting Gal! xx thx
You don’t need to be a Royal fan to side eye Meghan, she elevated cringe really well
She is literally white labeling anything she can at this point! FANS ARE TOO SMART FOR THAT 💩
She’s ridiculous. Love Republic of Tea though! Will not buying it from her a double price.
Everything the touches fails.
