Meghan Markle reveals ‘Netflix is not just a partner in the show, but in my business’ ahead of With Love, Meghan release
Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, is set to premiere in the coming weeks. The series coincides with a rebrand of her lifestyle business, which was originally called American Riviera Orchard and is now named As Ever.
In a video shared on Instagram, Meghan explained that the original name, inspired by her hometown, felt restrictive as it tied the brand to products made and grown in that specific area. She also noted that the rebrand connects with her new Netflix series, saying: ‘Netflix came on not just as my partner in the show, but the partner in my business.’
Explaining the meaning behind the new name, Meghan said: ‘“As ever” means “as it’s always been,” or some even say “in the same way as always.”’
A post on the As Ever Instagram page states that the rebranded business will launch in spring 2025.
What can we expect from With Love, Meghan?
The show will feature a range of topics, including cooking, flower arranging, gardening, beekeeping, and crafting, alongside appearances from celebrity guests. Of course, there will be fruit preserves – Meghan joked in her announcement post, ‘I think we’re all clear at this point that jam is my jam.’
Mindy Kaling, actress and comedian who appears in one episode, told Time: 'I love cooking, but I’m really not good at entertaining… but Meghan just knows how to do that stuff.'
She added: 'I think a misconception about Meghan is that she’s in any way fussy or has expectations of fanciness. She really is a down-to-earth person who knows a lot of fun tricks to make entertaining and cooking easier.'
The series trailer features Meghan saying: 'We're not in the pursuit of perfection… we're in the pursuit of joy. Love is in the details.'
