Meghan Markle Opens Up About Life, Motherhood, and Her New Lifestyle Brand

In a fresh and heartfelt chat with PEOPLE Magazine, Meghan Markle reflects on her evolving journey as a mom, entrepreneur, and woman carving out her identity post-royalty. Nestled in bed with her son Archie, Meghan shares that while Prince Harry is busy wrapping up the Invictus Games in Vancouver, she’s juggling the launch of her newly rebranded lifestyle brand, “As Ever,” along with a Netflix series titled “With Love, Meghan.” Talk about a multitasker!
Since stepping back from royal duties five years ago, Meghan has faced intense public scrutiny, but she’s determined to navigate the ups and downs of her new life with grace. “There are tons of twists and turns,” she admits about the challenges of launching a business under the watchful eyes of the world. Her brand initially debuted under the name American Riviera Orchard, but trademark issues led to a name change. Yet, Meghan remains resilient, acknowledging that this learning curve has been pivotal for her growth.
The Duchess also highlighted the emotional weight of the Sussex name, which now signifies a shared family bond that she deeply cherishes, especially after welcoming her two children. “It means a lot to me,” she says, reflecting on how motherhood has changed her perspective on her title. As for her new Netflix show, Meghan reveals it’s all about sharing her passions, from cooking to crafting.
Interestingly, while her previous Netflix docuseries “Harry & Meghan” peeled back the curtain on their royal struggles, her current project is focused squarely on her personal interests, with Harry making only a brief cameo. According to crew members, he was supportive but keen on letting Meghan take center stage.
In the midst of all this, Meghan mentions she’s back in a “honeymoon period” with Harry, which is surely music to the ears of fans who followed their tumultuous journey. As she embraces her new roles, one thing is clear: Meghan Markle is not just a royal by name; she’s crafting her own story, one jam jar at a time.
