Meghan Markle has sent another personal message to those subscribing to her lifestyle brand – advertising her new As Ever products with a mysterious nod to her old royal life
Meghan Markle makes a cryptic nod to her “time in England” as she ramps up promotion for new lifestyle brand As Ever.
Just a day after her Netflix show With Love, Meghan dropped on the streaming platform to brutal reviews, the Duchess of Sussex is now turning attention to the launch of As Ever and its first line of products.
In a second newsletter in less than 24 hours for subscribers of her As Ever site, Meghan talks about her new products – of which no prices are yet available – and how they can help “find the magic in the moment”. Among the products she is selling are a raspberry spread, limited edition wildflower honey with honeycomb and herbal teas.

Meghan references her time in England
And when it comes to shortbread cookie mix with flower sprinkles, she makes a nod to her old royal life by promoting the product by saying: “Crunchy and delicious shortbread cookies that remind me of my time in England, with tiny flower sprinkles to add extra beauty and charm to enjoy each delicate bite.”
Of course, Meghan’s time in England came after she became engaged to Prince Harry before the pair married and she became a working royal. However, after less than two years, the couple dramatically quit the UK for the US, stepping down from their roles. In interviews since then, Meghan has railed against her time in the UK – and she is now estranged from most of her husband’s relatives.

She adds: “Showing up for someone can make them feel a little more loved, and definitely more seen – and As Ever is a reminder that these gestures do not have to be grand. In fact, it is often the small moments that can have the largest impact.
“They say ‘it’s the thought that counts’ but I would go a step further – it’s the thought that counts the most.” In her first newsletter to subscribers yesterday, Meghan addressed them as friends and explained how much has changed since she last sent newsletters for her previous lifestyle blog The Tig.
She said: “I am so happy to have you join me on this adventure. Some of you will remember receiving newsletters similar to this one back in 2014, when I founded The Tig.” “Though much has changed since then, so much has stayed the same,” she continued.
“I still dance in my kitchen, experiment with recipes, get my hands dirty in the garden, laugh with friends over way too many glasses of wine, and pivot from going out in a date night-worthy dress to being cosy at home in sweats and a baseball cap.”
She explained that her product line so far is designed to “make your everyday moments memories, to turn a basic breakfast into a beautiful snapshot of your life”
