Penny Lancaster could reportedly rival Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand if she chooses to fully commit to a new business endeavour. The former model, who is married to singer Sir Rod Stewart, revealed recently that she has started producing a product initially made for her family, now sharing it with friends as well.
A recent article compared the 54-year-old to the Duchess of Sussex, who recently entered the business world with her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Writing in the Mail on Sunday, it was stated that Penny is “giving Meghan’s As Ever brand a run for its money” with her line of honey, coinciding with reports that Meghan is trying to make a splash with her Raspberry Spread.

While speaking at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Loose Women star mentioned that she had previously been producing the item solely for her family, but is now sharing it with friends. Harriet also disclosed that Penny began her unusual venture with a few beehives at her mansion, reports Glasgow Live.
Beyond honey, the Duchess sells various food products on her website, including Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and a Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinklers. Nevertheless, one particular product might signal an emerging rivalry.
For $28, customers can sample Meghan’s Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb on the As Ever website, described as being “inspired by Meghan’s own appreciation” of the “art of harvesting” at her California home in Montecito.

It now seems that Penny Lancaster could challenge Meghan Markle in the world of lifestyle brands if she decides to take her new venture a step further. In the world of celebrity updates, Penny recently took to Instagram to express her immense pride in her husband, a true music icon, as they celebrate an impressive 18 years of marriage.
Accompanied by a love heart emoji and a congratulatory banner, Penny couldn’t hide her admiration for the 80 year old rock star: “So proud of my man – lifetime achievement award @amas.”
The photo shows Rod looking dapper in a black suit with a crisp white shirt. The rock sensation has been honoured with the American Music Awards’ lifetime achievement award, which was presented by five of his children in a touching moment.
Addressing the audience, Rod expressed his surprise and delight: “I’m absolutely flabbergasted. I didn’t know they were here – my children.” He proceeded to thank his fellow musicians and reminisced about his youthful passion for simply wanting to sing—not for fame or fortune.
Rod humbly said: “That’s all I wanted to do. I didn’t want to be rich or famous. And here I am, a few years later, picking up this wonderful award.”
Renowned for chart-toppers like ‘Da Ya Think I’m Sexy? ‘ and ‘Maggie May’, the legendary singer has amassed over 120 million album sales globally, with numerous albums reaching the Billboard 200’s top spots.
Among other headline-grabbers of the evening were Eminem who bagged Favourite Male Hip Hop Artist, and Billie Eilish who triumphed as Artist of the Year.
