Meghan Markle's 'Beige' Christmas Promo Slammed as 'Depressing'

In November 2025, Meghan Markle faced backlash for releasing a 'beige' and 'depressing' Christmas promo for her lifestyle brand. The Duchess of Sussex, who is 44 years old, took to Instagram just a week ago to share a brief clip of herself assembling gifts as she continues to promote her As Ever Christmas range.

However, some fans were disappointed by the glossy promotion, claiming it lacked festivity and featured only 'bland, boring browns', rather than the typically bright holiday period fanfare. One social media user sarcastically remarked, "Nothing says Christmas like olive green and beige!"

Interestingly, Meghan had previously complained that she had to 'tone down' her wardrobe's color palette to avoid clashing with more senior members of the Royal Family. In her Netflix series released earlier this year, she said she wore a lot of 'muted tones' like beige, camel, and white to 'blend in' and 'not embarrass the family'.

Now, it appears Meghan is continuing this understated aesthetic in her latest Christmas promo, which has drawn criticism from those expecting more holiday cheer. As the Duchess continues to navigate her post-royal life, this latest backlash serves as a reminder of the challenges she faces in meeting public expectations.
