MEGHAN Markle’s kitchen blunder is being teased by her canning tool mistake

Meghan Markle She sparked backlash online after fans spotted her using canning tongs upside down in a photo for her As Ever brand.

This post coincided with the launch of the new $30 Sauvignon Blanc wines and the restocking of the popular spreads.

Meghan Markle also recently attended Paris Fashion Week to support Pierpaolo Piccioli from Balenciaga, where she caught attention with eye-catching looks.

Meghan was the target of online furore after a photo of her caught the attention of observant fans, who pointed out a mistake in the kitchen.

In the photo, the Duchess of Sussex is seen lifting a jar of preserves from a pot of boiling water using a pair of canning tongs.

However, social media users quickly noticed that she appeared to be holding the pot upside down as the Duchess held the curved metal end, which was supposed to secure the jar, rather than the black rubber handles designed for safety.

“Guys, she uses upside down canning tongs. The rubber part goes around the jars so they don’t slide off,” one user wrote on X.

On social media, some found the error amusing, stressing that colored rubber handles should actually be used to hold the jars firmly in place.

“This is so funny. And yes, Emily, you’re right, she did put it upside down. The green is, in fact, about the tractors,” one commenter pointed out.

“Well, she’s not really doing any cooking. This is just a video,” another noted.

However, others defended Meghan, calling the moment relevant.

“Yes. She’s definitely using it incorrectly. Does it really matter?” one fan replied. Another said: “She also mentioned it was her first time. She’s adorable. She has a beautiful display.”

The online buzz comes after Meghan quietly launched new products on her lifestyle website As Ever, over the weekend, including a 2024 white Sauvignon Blanc, her first venture into wine, as well as new stock of apricot cream and marmalade.

The launch was shared on the As Ever Instagram page, where two new photos were posted to her 878,000 followers. One photo showed bowls of apricot and marmalade sitting in straw containers, while the other showed a chilled bottle of the new Sauvignon Blanc in a bucket of wine. “We heard you missed us. We’re back… and brought a friend,” the caption read.

While apricot and jam have appeared in previous As Ever collections, wine is a completely new addition to the lineup.

According to the website, Sauvignon Blanc is described as: “Bright and balanced, with citrus aromas, a smooth finish, and refreshing versatility. Designed for everyday dinners and festive gatherings alike, this carefully crafted wine is perfect for sharing, gifting, and tasting in every season.”

Just hours after unveiling her new Sauvignon Blanc under the As Ever brand, Meghan made an unexpected appearance in Paris for Fashion Week.

The Duchess of Sussex attended Balenciaga’s spring/summer 2026 show on Saturday to support her close friend, the fashion house’s new creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli.

According to its spokesperson, the visit highlighted its “support for his new creative chapter” at the iconic brand.

This was Meghan’s first appearance at Paris Fashion Week ever. She was photographed mingling with high-profile guests, including Vogue magazine’Global editorial director Anna Wintour and film director Baz Luhrmann, at the star-studded runway event.
