A recent post shared by the brand has again sparked debate and mockery among online commenters.
The Duchess of Sussex shared the promotional image on As Ever’s official Instagram page on Tuesday evening, according to the Daily Express. The photo showed a plate displaying five teaspoons filled with jam.
The caption described three spreads offered by the brand.
“Three spreads, each with its own point of view.
“Strawberry for brightness and freshness. Raspberry for depth and gentle tartness. Orange Marmalade for warmth and subtle sweetness. Designed to move easily from breakfast to dessert, and everywhere in between.”

Another questioned the layout shown in the image, writing: “Three spreads but five spoons? Either she can’t count or two of them are doubled up, but that’s also s****d.”
