Times Meghan Markle Shamelessly Showed Off Her Wealth & It Totally Backfired

Meghan Markle is no stranger to criticism and controversy. From the moment her relationship with Prince Harry went public, her life has been steeped in scandal. Cue the shady side of Meghan and all of the rampant rumors about her political interests, the supposed drama between her and Kate Middleton that started with Princess Charlotte, and even all the rumored reasons she doesn't get along with Pippa Middleton. Alas, things really hit the fan once the couple opted to forego their standing as working members of the royal family and hightail it to sunny California. Enter: Megxit — a term that had Prince Harry fuming.

These days, however, Meghan is taking heat for an all-new reason: her Netflix show, "With Love, Meghan," and the way in which she shamelessly showed off her wealth on the series with a precious line of lifestyle products and her quiet luxury wardrobe. Flower sprinkles, anyone? As one can imagine, in this economy, Meghan so publicly showcasing her lavish Montecito lifestyle swiftly backfired. 

It's all about the flower sprinkles?! Where were you when you learned that Meghan Markle puts flower sprinkles on everything in an effort to romanticize even the most mundane days? Viewers first got a glimpse of Meghan's pricey flower sprinkle obsession on her Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," wherein she also donned expensive 'fits to the tune of a combined eye-popping $172,000. Talk about a double whammy of sheer wealth on display. Still, it wasn't until April 24, while speaking at the Time 100 Summit in New York City, that Meghan really let her flower sprinkle freak flag fly. "It speaks to the tiny moments of joy that are so effortless and just create a little bit of magic that we're all craving in our every day," she explained. According to Meghan, she started putting the dried flower petals on "everything," including salads, yogurt parfaits, and even scrambled eggs. 

To be clear, Meghan's line of flower sprinkles for sale on the As Ever official website will set you back a cool $15 for a measly 0.18-ounce tin. If you're putting them on literally everything as the former royal turned lifestyle brand guru advises, you better start saving your pennies! Shortly after her Time 100 flower sprinkle admission, many flocked to social media to give their own take on the expensive way to zhuzh up any meal or side dish. "I wish I was as out of touch with reality as she was," one X user tweeted. Meanwhile, another quipped, "Shortbread cookies + flower sprinkles + high price = meghan markle's as ever."
