Meghan Markle’s Surprise Gift Boxes Delight A-List Friends: A Royal Treat
Step aside, royal protocol—Meghan Markle is sprinkling a little stardust on her friends with her latest venture, As Ever. The Duchess of Sussex, proving that even the most glamorous royals can play the gift-giving game, has sent out surprise packages to an array of celebrities, including Kris Jenner and Zoe Saldaña. What do you get the friend who has everything? Well, if you’re Meghan, you whip up a keepsake box filled with sold-out goodies that make everyone green with envy. Launched on April 2, her As Ever collection flew off the virtual shelves faster than you can say “Duchess,” selling out in less than an hour. That’s right—while the rest of us are still waiting for our online shopping sprees to deliver, these stars are basking in the glow of Meghan’s thoughtful surprises.
Kris Jenner, the queen bee of the Kardashian clan, couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared a photo of her beautifully crafted wooden box, complete with As Ever’s logo. “I can’t wait to try every single thing! I’m so excited!!!!” she exclaimed, because who doesn’t want a taste of royal indulgence? Included in the luxurious package were herbal teas, flower sprinkles, crepe mix, shortbread cookies, and raspberry jam—truly a smorgasbord fit for a brunch with the royals.
Fashion designer Annie Bing and actress Zoe Saldaña also joined the ranks of Meghan’s delighted recipients, sharing their own unboxing moments on social media. Saldaña’s shout-out was as sweet as the treats inside the box, expressing pride in Meghan’s entrepreneurial leap. It’s refreshing to see such camaraderie among these stars, who often occupy different worlds yet find common ground in Meghan’s thoughtful gesture.
But let’s be real—this isn’t just about culinary delights. Meghan’s journey to launch As Ever has had its fair share of ups and downs, including a name change from American Riviera Orchard due to trademark issues. In an exclusive interview, she reflected on the learning curve, showing that even royals aren’t immune to business bumps. “I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out,” she said, a sentiment that resonates with all aspiring entrepreneurs.
So, while we may not have a wooden keepsake box awaiting us, there’s something to be learned here: even the most glamorous lives are filled with trials, tribulations, and a sprinkle of sweetness. Let’s take a leaf out of Meghan’s book—create, connect, and maybe even gift a little joy along the way. Class dismissed as we continue to keep an eye on what the Duchess serves up next, because if her track record is anything to go by, it’s bound to be deliciously delightful.
