Meghan Markle says ‘a lie can't live forever' in new podcast episode
(NewsNation) — Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, has revealed how she would rewrite her public narrative if given the chance on the latest episode of Emma Grede's podcast.
The 43-year-old appeared in Tuesday's episode of 'Aspire with Emma Grede.' In the 90-minute episode, Grede asked Meghan about the public's perception of her and what she would change if she had the chance.
'I would ask people to tell the truth,' Meghan revealed. 'A lie can't live forever. Eight years is a long time, but it's not forever.'

Meghan was in the spotlight before she started dating Prince Harry in 2016 as one of the lead actresses on USA Network's 'Suits.' Meghan married Harry in 2018 and performed her royal duties until the couple stepped back in 2020 and moved to the United States.
Since they stepped back, both Harry and Meghan have talked about the mistreatment they received while doing their royal duties and how the palace didn't protect them. In 2021, the couple shared their story in a CBS interview. They also revealed a lot more in their 2022 docuseries 'Harry & Meghan' on Netflix.
Meghan also spoke with Grede about a video she recently posted on Instagram that has gone viral. The 'baby mama dance' video was a throwback that she posted for her daughter, Princess Lilibet's, birthday.
Grede told Meghan that she did a 'little secret cheer' when she saw the video that Meghan had filmed in the delivery room before Lilibet was born.
Meghan explained that the clip 'was four years ago.' She also told Grede, 'So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life — a real, authentic, fun life — that's happening behind the scenes.'
She also said, 'I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.' Meghan rejoined Instagram back in January after years of being off social media completely.
'I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms,' she added, referring to her personal social media handle.
On the podcast, Meghan said she and Harry have been working with Netflix for five years. Netflix also fully produced Meghan's 'As Ever' product line. Her show, 'With Love, Meghan,' had dropped off the streaming service's top ten list in less than a week. Netflix also fully produced Meghan's 'As Ever' product line.

NewsNation's Paula Froelich reported that Meghan's Netflix show will still be given a third season, regardless of viewership, because the streaming giant is invested in making her products and show a success.
Froelich heard that many people are 'done' with the Sussex family at Netflix, but the third season will be used to see if commerce and entertainment can be combined for profit.

Meghan Markle announces As Ever rosé with release date imminent
Meghan Markle is expanding her As Ever brand with its first alcoholic offering. On her company's website on Friday, the Duchess of Sussex announced the release of a rosé wine. The news came as the company restocked some of its products after its initial launch in April when everything sold old in less than an hour. 'With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining,' a description for the rosé reads. More details will be released before the wine is available for purchase on July 1 at 11am ET. As Ever's re-launch on Friday also introduced two new products, a $28 Limited-Edition Orange Blossom Honey and a $9 Apricot Spread. The spread, which comes after Meghan released her viral raspberry jam, is also sold in a Keepsake Packaging for $14. However, it quickly sold out. 'Our Apricot Spread is made with gorgeous fruit and a touch of sweetness, letting the apricot's bright flavor shine,' a description for the new product reads. 'The smooth texture and gentle tartness pair beautifully with everything from toast to cheese boards.' Unfortunately, the new honey is also sold out. Meghan also restocked some of the products she sold back in April. This includes her $15 Flower Sprinkles, $14 Crepe Mix, $14 Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinkles, and $12 Herbal Teas, which come in three flavors: hibiscus, lemon ginger, and peppermint. However, all three tea flavors all already sold out. While Meghan didn't restock her $9 Rasberry Spread, it will be coming soon to fans, according to As Ever's website. On June 16, Meghan announced that As Ever was launching the new products. 'Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT - we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!' she wrote on Instagram. She's also noted that her company is still expanding. During an interview with Fast Company in May, she said she's planning to 'assess' new avenues for her brand, with more As Ever products to be announced during the first quarter of 2026. 'I want to really focus on the hospitality angle of As Ever, but as we take the learnings, we can understand what the customer's needs are seasonally,' she said. 'My heart is very deeply in my home. Everything comes from being rooted in the love story of your home and garden, and then you can imagine different verticals coming out of that.' Asked whether she might explore moving into clothing one day, Meghan responded: 'Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an intriguing space for me.' In April, Meghan also offered a special deal to customers who bought products from her business after everything was already out of stock. On X at the time, one fan shared the email they got from As Ever, where they learned that they weren't getting the limited-edition honey they paid for. Instead, they were getting a full refund. However, the customers involved in the business snafu were still receiving an item of their choosing for free. Megahn also sent a signed message and apology to customers who bought an As Ever product after it sold out. 'When our next limited edition item drop happens, you won't just be the first to be the first to receive it,' the duchess wrote in her note at the time. 'No need to order, it will come to you in the mail as a gift from me. Thank you again for your understanding and support, and for continuing to celebrate us during the exciting time of launch.'

The social media thread breaks down the look of each driver who was present in a group photo. The F1 movie is set to be released on June 25 (June 27 in North America), and the majority F1 team principals, drivers, including the co-producer Lewis Hamilton, were present in formal attire alongside the rest of the movie crew. Derek Guy stated on X that he reviewed the F1 drivers' outfits in response to fan demand. He said: (L-R) US actor and film producer Brad Pitt, British formula 1 driver and co-producer Lewis Hamilton and British actor Damson Idris attend the world premiere of "F1" at Times Square in New York on June...

I gather that these are famous, very well accomplished F1 drivers [I don't know these people]. Since I only talk about famous people, I will do a thread. 🧵" People keep asking me to do a thread breaking down why these suits don't look great. I gather that these are famous, very well accomplished F1 drivers (I don't know these people). Since I only talk about famous people, I will do a thread. 🧵 — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 He added: "Please note nothing in this thread is meant to diminish the men in these clothes. If anything, it's the people who dressed them that failed them. I am only talking about the clothes. Hopefully, by pointing out these issues, you will learn something for when you're shopping." Starting with Liam Lawson, Derek Guy pointed out the missing tie. He wrote: "A pinstripe suit with a white business shirt cries out for tie. If you don't want to wear a tie, then you need a more casual shirt or a more casual suit. Additionally, the shoes are too chunky for this outfit." A pinstripe suit with a white business shirt cries out for tie. If you don't want to wear a tie, then you need a more casual shirt or a more casual suit. Additionally, the shoes are too chunky for this outfit. — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 He added: "But the biggest issue is that there's something wrong with the tailoring. It's very easy to spot this on a patterned fabric because the vertical lines should run 'true,' which is to say straight up and down. See how these lines are swinging away from his body." Next on the list was Lawson's former teammate, Yuki Tsunoda. Derek Guy wrote: "I commend this person for trying to be adventurous but I just don't think it's working on him. The outfit is just too large. The proportions on the jacket are also strange [too truncated at the bottom]. But cool that he tried something different." I commend this person for trying to be adventurous but I just don't think it's working on him. The outfit is just too large. The proportions on the jacket are also strange (too truncated at the bottom). But cool that he tried something different. — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 Alpine's Pierre Gasly was the best-dressed driver in the group, but a simple feedback never hurt anyone. Derek Guy pointed out: "The best of the group but the jacket is too short and the pants are too slim, causing them to catch on his legs. I think he would look better in a longer jacket and slightly fuller pants, as well as shirt collar points that reach his lapels."

He wrote: "Shoulders strike me as too wide and trousers are too long. This can be a style [1980s Armani-esque]. I just don't feel it's working here. I think this would look better with narrower shoulders, slightly trimmer pants, and less break." Shoulders strike me as too wide and trousers are too long. This can be a style (1980s Armani-esque). I just don't feel it's working here. I think this would look better with narrower shoulders, slightly trimmer pants, and less break. — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 Racing Bulls' Isack Hadjar had more points to take back, including one on his footwear. He wrote: "Personally don't like this silhouette and really dislike the shape of the lapels. Bottom button shouldn't be fastened. Would look better with dress shoes, not sneakers." Personally don't like this silhouette and really dislike the shape of the lapels. Bottom button shouldn't be fastened. Would look better with dress shoes, not sneakers. — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 Derek Guy then critiqued Carlos Sainz and Gabriel Bortoleto. He wrote: "Both pairs of pants are too slim. Second person's jacket is too short. Both would look better with traditional dress shoes. Personally dislike luxury sneakers like Zegna's. Minimalist sneakers that cost $1,000 are inherently corny." Both pairs of pants are too slim. Second person's jacket is too short. Both would look better with traditional dress shoes. Personally dislike luxury sneakers like Zegna's. Minimalist sneakers that cost $1,000 are inherently corny. — derek guy (@dieworkwear) June 17, 2025 Lastly, the fashion expert pointed out that Hamilton, Brad Pitt, and Damson Idris were well-dressed. However, he admitted that they were mostly dressed by reputable stylists. He wrote: "Some people will say I'm old fashioned. But I think these three guys at the premiere looked great. And look: their outfits follow basic tailoring principles: jackets bisect halfway from collar to floor; jacket silhouette flows into trousers. Outfits don't look old fashioned." He added: "I assume the three men above were helped by higher-powered stylists. Perhaps the F1 drivers were just put in branded clothes. IMO, if you are a celebrity, you should turn down brand deals. Don't wear clothes for money [you don't need more money]. Instead, hire a tailor."

F1 Rookie Ranks Lewis Hamilton's Brazil 2021 Win the Greatest Moment Ever
F1 Rookie Ranks Lewis Hamilton's Brazil 2021 Win the Greatest Moment Ever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. F1 has turned 75 years old in 2025 and there are thousands of moments fans and drivers could choose from, but for one rising star on the grid, nothing beats Brazil 2021. Advertisement Speaking on the Beyond the Grid podcast, F1 rookie Isack Hadjar was asked to name his favorite moment from all of F1 history. His response? Unfiltered and unforgettable. 'I'm going to be so controversial now. And I love it,' Hadjar grinned. 'Brazil 2021. I'm a big Lewis fan. That was a BIG weekend. That was big. That was an amazing, amazing weekend.' It's a pick that still gives goosebumps to Hamilton fans. At the 2021 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was disqualified from qualifying, started the sprint race from the back, charged through the field to P5, then started the main race from P10 and still won the race with one of the greatest drives in modern F1 history. Lewis Hamilton arrives in the paddock ahead of the Saudi Arabian weekend, Hamilton pulled off 24 overtakes in total and reignited the title fight with Max Verstappen in spectacular fashion. The crowd in Interlagos erupted. Mercedes Team Principal Toto Wolff slammed his headphones in celebration. Advertisement And Hamilton held the Brazilian flag on the podium in a Senna-esque moment that etched itself into the sport's folklore. For Hadjar, it wasn't just a win — it was a statement. Now racing in F1 himself, the young French driver's admiration for Hamilton is clear. And picking Brazil 2021 over decades of iconic races only underlines how that performance has become legend — not just for fans, but for the next generation of drivers.
