On Thursday, December 25, the Duchess of Sussex released a holiday-themed email newsletter for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Instead of festive praise, the message drew criticism from some readers, who labeled it “shallow and sad” and suggested it hinted at deeper personal or marital struggles.
“And her actually sending this out makes her day seem shallow and sad as it juxtaposes with real royal family celebrations. What a failure she is,” one social media user wrote.
Inside Meghan’s Christmas Newsletter
The email, sent to subscribers on Christmas morning, outlined Meghan and Harry’s holiday traditions at their Montecito, California home with their two children.
While As Ever newsletters throughout 2025 have focused on seasonal updates and product launches, this edition centered on Meghan’s personal Christmas experience, mentioning dim sum, board games, music, and spending the day in pajamas.
