Royal snub: Meghan Markle’s luxury hamper for Kardashians gets cold shoulder
Meghan Markle’s latest brand promotion took an unexpected turn when her luxury lifestyle label, As Ever, made an appearance at Kylie Jenner’s 28th birthday party, without the personal acknowledgement some fans expected.
Khloé Kardashian, 41, shared photos from the star-studded celebration over the weekend, including a lavish gift hamper from Markle’s brand. The hamper featured premium wine, preserves, and fresh vegetables. While Khloé posted the image on Instagram, she didn’t tag Meghan or the As Ever account.
Meghan later reposted the picture on her own Instagram Stories with the caption: “Hey hey, all my girls with a K.” The move sparked online chatter, with some followers noting the apparent lack of public interaction from the Kardashian family.
Social media users quickly weighed in, suggesting that the gesture might have been more of a brand placement than a personal gift. “Khloé doesn’t even follow Meghan or As Ever on Instagram,” one commenter pointed out, while another speculated that the Kardashians typically feature products only when part of a paid collaboration.
Representatives for the Kardashians have not responded to requests for comment.
This moment comes shortly after Meghan marked her 44th birthday on August 5, posting a message of gratitude to her husband, Prince Harry, along with friends and family.
Sharing a photo of herself blowing out candles, she wrote: “Blowing out the candles on a beautiful 24 hours, and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special.”
