Slop Princess of Montecito: Holiday Hokum, Fading Fame and $12 Chocolate Bars

Critics absolutely torch With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, mocking broccoli wreaths, therapy-speak crackers and brunch guests in matching red PJs as reviewers label the show joyless, fake and unintentionally hilarious. The Free Press dubs Meghan the “Slop Princess,” while U.S. commentators say the Sussex brand is sliding fast: Harry’s Trump joke draws boos, their star power is “waning,” and Meghan’s eye is drifting toward Kardashians-style beauty deals. Now add in As Ever’s twelve-dollar chocolate bars with bee pollen and “weeds” that social media calls “insane” and “gross,” and you’ve got the full Montecito package: high price, high gloss, and a reputation that’s starting to melt.
