Meghan Markle stuns fans with pricey new lifestyle product range
Meghan Markle has unveield the newest range of lifestyle products with her brand As Ever, shocking many royals fan with the limited availability and outrageous prices. Meghan Markle has officially unveiled the latest drop from her luxury lifestyle brand As Ever, with many of her loyal fans shocked at the inflated prices and availability of her second brand launch. The Duchess of Sussex's second launch includes a selection of new food items, including a swanky apricot spread, a limited edition orange blossom honey, and a brand new Rosé wine, marking her foray into the world of alcoholic drinks, reports the Mirror. The 2023 Rose, which hails from the vineyards of Napa Valley, California, will be sold on As Ever from July 1, with Meghan's eager fans excited about their new summer tipple. As well as a range of new products, various fan favourites have been restocked - including the flower sprinkles, crepe mix, herbal teas, and shortbread cookie mix. While some royal watchers are buzzing with excitement over Meghan's latest line of summer goodies, others have been left scratching their heads by the price. Meghan is flogging orange blossom honey for a whopping $28 (£21), while a pot of apricot jam in her now-trademark 'keepsake' jar will set fans back $14 (£10). International fans have also been let down by the release, as the products are only available for shipping within the United States. The Duchess first teased the sweet treats on her lifestyle brand's Instagram earlier this week, writing in the caption alongside a picture of a stack of pancakes: 'Oh yes, honey …sweet things await. We're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!' In a newsletter to fans, she said: "First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise. "We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises," adding that "so much love has gone into this". The new release of the new products come after Meghan revealed that she would be focusing more on her lifestyle brand, and not renewing her podcast for a second season any time soon. Speaking candidly on the Aspire podcast with host Emma Grede, Meghan acknowledged "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes." In addition to Meghan's podcast and lifestyle brand, she is also working on a second season of her Netflix show - With Love, Meghan - which is expected to premiere later this year. Joking with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan said: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam."

Meghan Markle Shares the Main Thing She Misses About Acting
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nine years ago, Meghan Markle was best known for starring on the legal drama Suits. So, if you didn't watch Suits, there's a good chance you had no idea who she was. (Deal or No Deal superfans are another exception.) That all changed when her relationship with Prince Harry was made public. Since then, Meghan has retired from acting, married Harry, welcomed two children, stepped down as a working royal, moved back to America, and become an entrepreneur and TV host. Whew! A lot has happened—obviously—so does Meghan ever look back on her former career and miss acting? "Sometimes," Meghan answers that question on the podcast Aspire with Emma Grede. "But you know what, actually, having a large team, being back on set with With Love, Meghan was great, because I realized how much I missed my crew. I love being around a crew." Meghan explained that she was not able to say a proper goodbye to the crew on Suits, because she was secretly leaving the show amid reports that speculated about her future with her Harry. "It was such a unique time, because we couldn't say that I was leaving, necessarily," she told host Emma Grede. "It was speculated. So, after seven years on the series, we couldn't have a going away party. I couldn't say my goodbyes … If my crew's watching, I miss you guys. I wish I could have said bye." Hosting her Netflix lifestyle series With Love, Meghan, ended up being a way to get back the part of acting that she misses most. "I think for me, having the series, even though it wasn't scripted, was really great to get that piece back," she explained. "But then also building my own business, you have a team, and that's really what I was craving." Meghan left Suits and acting ahead of her marriage to Harry, deciding to take on the humanitarian work she could do as a royal as her new career. "I don't see it as giving anything up, I just see it as a change," she said in her engagement interview with Harry (via Time) in 2017. "It's a new chapter, right? Also keep in mind I had been working on my show for seven years. So we were very, very fortunate to be able to have that sort of longevity on a series. For me, once we hit the 100 episode marker, I thought, you know what, I have ticked this box, and I feel very proud of the work I had done there and now it's time to work as team with [Harry]." Also on the podcast episode, Meghan shared the skills from acting that are still serving her today as a businessperson. (In addition to her Netflix show, she has a food line called As ever and a podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder.) She said that she learned to have a "thick skin" and to focus on building relationships. Meghan told Grede she once received the auditioning advice, "Don't try to book the part, book the room." She explained, "It's not about the part. You're going to see those producers and those casting directors at so many other opportunities. Book the room. Let them see that you're talented. Let them see that you have something to bring to the table. Treat them with kindness. All of those relationships end up coming to fruition—you don't know when, but just like with life, relationships matter."

'He's desperately hoping': Prince Harry's emotional motivation for letting Meghan share photos of Archie and Lilibet online revealed by insider
Prince Harry is reportedly allowing his wife Meghan Markle to post more photos of their children online in the hopes it will prompt a reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. The Duke of Sussex, who has long guarded the privacy of his young children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet, has traditionally avoided sharing images of them publicly. However, since Meghan's return to Instagram earlier this year, glimpses into their family life have become more frequent. Most recently, the 43-year-old Duchess shared a series of photos and videos from a family trip to Disneyland to celebrate Lili's birthday, offering rare insight into their life in California. According to a source quoted by Daily Mail Spotlight, Harry's decision is part of a "desperate" effort to show the Royal Family what they're missing out on- especially his father. "Harry is completely heartbroken," the insider said. "His dad refuses to see him or the kids- not even on Zoom… It's a last resort. "He's desperately hoping the King might see a picture of Archie or Lilibet and realise what he's missing." The insider also claimed Harry has made multiple attempts to reconnect with his family. "He's tried everything- calls, letters… But nothing's worked," they added. "This is his way of saying, 'Look at what you're missing'." The report comes shortly after Harry spoke to BBC News about his ongoing estrangement from the Royal Family and his hopes for healing the rift. "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said from his Montecito home after losing a legal battle over his UK security arrangements. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry added, "I don't know how much longer my father has. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile." Since stepping down from royal duties in 2020, Harry and Meghan have built a new life in the US, launching a number of projects including their Archewell Foundation, a podcast series, a bombshell memoir and a lucrative partnership with Netflix. Through Archewell, the couple have championed child safety online via The Parents Network and recently hosted an event in New York calling for stronger protections on social media platforms. "Life is better off social media," Harry said at the time. While Meghan still rarely shows her children's faces online, she's said her new Instagram presence is focused on authenticity. "You have to be authentic," she said in an interview with British entrepreneur Emma Grede on the Aspire podcast. "…I'm just grateful that now, being back on social (media) as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." has contacted Sussex representatives for comment.

The Duchess of Sussex has announced that her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, will not be returning for a second season anytime soon.

The Duchess of Sussex candidly admitted this during a heart-to-heart conversation with Emma Grede on her Aspire podcast. Meghan disclosed that her own podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, won't be returning for a second series anytime soon, as she shifts her focus more towards her lifestyle brand As Ever. She initially inked the deal with Lemonada Media in 2024 for her podcast, which premiered in April, with 12 episodes broadcast within a few months. Meghan recognised "that there is so much excitement and desire for another season" of the podcast, but added, "I need to focus on my business. People seem to forget that very rarely do people see everything that's happening behind the scenes", reports the Mirror. The podcast was launched simultaneously as Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever announced its first product release, which Meghan described as "was perfect synergy". She reflected on the hectic period in her life as she balanced her multiple businesses, stating: "As I knew I was in this building phase of my business, what an amazing opportunity to pull back the curtain and let people see what's happening at the start, when all the twists and turns are there." The Duchess of Sussex spoke about her experiences as a female founder and entrepreneur, saying: "For me to have the opportunity to talk to so many female founders who've been on that full trajectory-that are on the other side of success, but still at certain chapters in their career and their growth-but to be able to be really candid and vulnerable personally about my learns and stumbles along the way and then to take everyone's advice-and mine included." Meghan is also working on the second season of her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, which is due to air later this year. During a conversation with podcast host Emma Grede, Meghan joked: "At a certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is my jam." The news about the podcast's future comes after Meghan announced that her lifestyle brand, As Ever, will be launching new products. On the brand's Instagram page, she hinted at a new collection, saying that "delicious surprises" are in store for the second launch. Meghan wrote: "Oh yes, things await. We're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!" The new range will be available on June 20 at 8am PT (4pm UK time), and Meghan told her followers to "mark your calendars". Meghan accompanied the caption with a photo of a stack of pancakes smothered in sweet raspberries and a generous helping of honey, fuelling speculation that her sought-after honey, as well as her popular jams, may soon be back on sale. In a newsletter to fans, she expressed her gratitude, saying: "First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As ever absolutely extraordinary. We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise." She went on to reveal that on June 20th, they will be restocking the products that fans love, along with some new tasty surprises, adding that "so much love has gone into this".
