Meghan Markle has been criticised by fans after she shared a new “dad” message ahead of Father’s Day next weekend. The Duchess of Sussex sent a new newsletter to her As Ever customers promoting her stock for the special day marked on Sunday, June 21, this year.

Meghan’s message, titled “Say thanks to Dad,” read: “Whether you need a simple way to say ‘thank you’ to Dad or simply want to create a comforting morning moment — breakfast in bed is the perfect treat. Gather your favourite morning baked goods (we love a buttery, flaky croissant) and serve with a dab of salted butter and a swipe of our Strawberry Spread. Add a slice of a favourite fresh fruit, and pour a steaming cup of coffee or Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea. Breakfast served bedside with a warm smile and a loving hug is a simple way to remind those we love how special they are.”
