00:02Meghan Markle shamelessly showed off her wealth

00:05with a precious line of lifestyle products

00:07and her quiet luxury wardrobe.

00:14Meghan Markle has once again found herself in the spotlight,

00:17and not for reasons the Duchess might have hoped.

00:20With the release of her new Netflix series with love,

00:24Meghan.

00:29Let's go.

00:30The former actress and royal family member

00:32is now being called out by many

00:34for what some see as an extravagant display of wealth

00:37during tough economic times.

00:40The show, which is centered around Meghan's passion for wellness,

00:43cooking, and home life,

00:44always loved taking something pretty ordinary

00:47and elevating it.

00:49Gives viewers a peek into her peaceful Montecito lifestyle.

00:53From serene shots of her garden

00:54to her carefully styled kitchen

00:56and curated moments with friends,

00:58the series paints a dreamy picture of calm and simplicity,

01:02all wrapped in high-end luxury.

01:04Pursuit of joy.

01:05Love is in the details.

01:07I have to do it totally wrong.

01:09But while the idea of romanticizing everyday life

01:12has grown popular in recent years,

01:15Meghan's approach has sparked more eye rolls than applause.

01:18Meghan Markle adds flower sprinkles to everything.

01:21Flower sprinkles are a decorative blend of dried petals

01:24that Meghan uses to add a whimsical touch to her meals.

01:28In the series and during a recent appearance

01:30at the Time 100 Summit in New York City,

01:33Meghan revealed she puts them on everything from salads

01:36and parfaits to scrambled eggs.

01:39She described the sprinkles as a symbol of finding joy

01:42in the little things,

01:44saying,

01:45It speaks to the tiny moments of joy

01:47that are so effortless

01:49and just create a little bit of magic

01:51that we're all craving in our every day.

01:55It's a charming sentiment,

01:56one that fits neatly within the broader theme

01:58of mindfulness and gratitude.

02:01However,

02:01when viewers learned that a single 0.18-ounce tin

02:05of these sprinkles,

02:06available through her lifestyle brand,

02:09as ever,

02:10costs $15,

02:11the magic quickly wore off for many.

02:14Social media lit up with commentary

02:16as users reacted to the high price

02:18of Meghan Markle's brand.

02:21I wish I was as out of touch with reality as she was,

02:24one person wrote on X,

02:26formerly Twitter.

02:28Another joked,

02:29Shortbread cookies,

02:30plus, uh,

02:31flower sprinkles.

02:32It's high price.

02:33Meghan Markle's as ever.

02:37The criticism was not just about the sprinkles themselves,

02:40but what they symbolized to some,

02:42a disconnect from the daily struggles

02:44of ordinary people.

02:46The series also featured Meghan

02:48in a variety of designer outfits,

02:50reportedly worth a combined $172,000,

02:54further fueling concerns

02:55that the show glamorizes a lifestyle

02:57that most viewers can't relate to.

03:00Many felt that in today's world,

03:02where many families are budgeting tightly

03:04and navigating economic uncertainty,

03:07the series came across as more flashy

03:09than inspirational.

03:11Meghan's fans argue that she has every right

03:12to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

03:15After stepping away from royal duties

03:17with Prince Harry in 2020,

03:19the couple have pursued independent careers,

03:21including multi-million dollar deals

03:23with Netflix and Spotify.

03:26Meghan has also become a public speaker

03:28and entrepreneur building a brand centered around wellness

03:32and intentional living.

03:34Still, others feel that the presentation

03:37of her lifestyle could be handled

03:38with more sensitivity.

03:41There's nothing wrong with enjoying nice things,

03:43one fan wrote online,

03:45but it's all about how you share that with the world.

03:48When it starts to feel out of touch,

03:50it loses its impact.

03:53Meghan Markle has faced criticism

03:55for how she presents her life.

03:57From her high-profile wedding

03:58to her exit from the royal family,

04:01public opinion has always been sharply divided.

04:05While some admire her independence

04:06and modern take on royalty,

04:09others have viewed her as too focused

04:11on branding and image.

04:13Even the term Megxit,

04:15coined when the couple stepped back from royal life,

04:18has carried strong emotions,

04:20with Prince Harry himself saying

04:22he found it offensive and misleading.

04:25The couple's decision to move to California

04:27and pursue a more private yet media-driven life

04:31has kept them in headlines ever since.

04:34Meghan Markle remains focused on her mission.

04:38During her Time 100 Summit appearance,

04:40she shared how happy and fulfilled she feels.

04:43To have a partner and a husband who is so supportive

04:46and have healthy kids who are so joyful, she said,

04:49I never would have imagined at this point

04:52I would feel so happy and grateful.

04:54As with Love, Meghan continues to stream,

04:57it remains to be seen

04:58how the public will ultimately respond.

05:01Will viewers embrace her call

05:02to find beauty in small moments,

05:05even if those moments come with a designer price tag?

05:08Or will the focus on luxury

05:10leave them feeling more disconnected than inspired?

05:12And I'll make sure to tell you
