From starring on a hit TV show to becoming a princess, Meghan Markle has been in the spotlight for a variety of reasons throughout the years. However, after she and Prince Harry decided to separate themselves from the Royal Family in 2020, they have led a more private life. At the start of 2025, Meghan returned to Instagram to announce her newest show “With Love, Meghan,” which will offer a closer look at her life and passions.
Meghan and Harry’s Multi-Year Netflix Deal
In 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry signed a $100 million deal with Netflix. Through this deal, they have released multiple projects, such as the docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” the sports series “Invictus” and the docuseries “Live to Lead,” which highlights leaders around the world.
When asked about the goal of their projects, Markle explains:
“Things that make people feel–I was going to say ‘good,’ but it’s more than that, things that make people feel something, right? And feel a sense of community.”
With Love, Meghan
In Jan. 2025, Markle announced her new series “With Love, Meghan.” Scheduled to premiere on Jan. 15, the series was postponed to March 4 due to the California wildfires. The eight-episode series focuses on a variety of topics, such as cooking, gardening and homemaking. Throughout the episodes, she arranges flowers, makes homemade face masks, creates beeswax candles, organizes a balloon arch and bakes focaccia bread.
Markle also invites various guest stars, with whom she shares homemaking tips and tricks. These guests include: actresses Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, chef Alice Waters and makeup artist Daniel Martin.
Revamped Lifestyle Company
In addition to the Netflix series, Markle’s revamped lifestyle company “As Ever” was announced on March 4. The line features an array of teas, raspberry jam, honey and a crepe mix. While the release date for these products has not yet been revealed, customers can submit their emails to receive notifications.
In her Instagram announcement, Markle explained that the name of the company means “as it’s always been.” She felt connected to this because it represents her long love for cooking, entertaining and gardening. Often featured on the show, the line will give viewers the opportunity to replicate Markle’s recipes.
Not An Influencer
During a recent interview with People magazine, Markle discussed her new business venture and series. While reflecting on the Sussex name, which was given to her and Prince Harry on their 2018 wedding day, she explained how the name unites her with her children and husband.
She also denied the label of “influencer” and insisted that she saw herself as an entrepreneur and female founder. Her goal is not to influence people, as she views her brand as an outlet for self-expression. She adds that influencing others is simply an added bonus.
