Meghan Markle's latest As Ever cooking photograph has drawn criticism from some X users, who questioned the absence of a visible flame beneath the saucepan. The image shows the Duchess of Sussex appearing to stir a pot while wearing a black outfit and a black-and-white gingham apron.

Critics also recirculated an October 2025 photograph showing her using a jar lifter, prompting renewed debate about whether she was holding it upside down. The photographs were published separately, and neither establishes that she was pretending to cook.
