The Duchess of Sussex and lifestyle brand owner Meghan Markle has shared a rare insight into her life on Instagram.<\/p>\n

The Tuesday post featured a series of photos from various stages in Meghan’s life, accompanied by slides of motivational quotes, journal entries, and homemade videos.<\/p>\n

One such family video gave fans a sneak peek into Meghan’s jam-making business, as part of her As Ever brand.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, red-headed Princess Lilibet, now 5, appeared to be serving as sous chef in the video, helping her mother stir a pot of jam.<\/p>\n

The footage, which looked to be from some years ago, showed Meghan asking her daughter, “What do you think Lili?”<\/p>\n

Lili adorably responded, “I think it’s beautiful,” in a clear American accent.<\/p>\n

Other footage that made the cut included jars being filled with raspberry jam making their way down an assembly line, as well as Meghan’s various business escapes.<\/p>\n

Shots of her beekeeping, eating raspberries off her fingers, making jam biscuits, and putting hampers together, were also featured in the montage set to Dreams by The Cranberries.<\/p>\n

However, some have pointed out that one of these “snapshots” into her process appeared to show the Duchess stirring a pot on a gas stove without the knobs turned on.<\/p>\n

In the post’s caption, Meghan reminisced about starting a handmade scrunchies business when she was eight years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The scrunchies, she said, were sewed on her grandmother\u2019s Singer sewing machine and sold for $1 a piece.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI sold Girl Scout cookies, had lemonade stands, worked in a frozen yogurt shop and had countless other jobs,\u201d she continued. \u201cMy entrepreneurial spirit was always there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan also referenced her old blog The Tig, where she had once shared, \u201cBehind every successful woman is herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s true,\u201d she reflected in the caption,\u201d before adding a caveat: \u201cbut there\u2019s more: a community of love, a squad of support, an amazing team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan went on to share gratitude for her As Ever team.<\/p>\n

“I pinch myself looking at how this brand has grown,” Meghan wrote, referencing their newly introduced holiday collection<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel very proud, and grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Ever is a lifestyle brand Meghan launched in 2024. It was originally called American Riviera Orchard and sells pantry staples like wine, honey, and jam, as well as candles, teas, and gift hampers.<\/p>\n

The curated collection has been described<\/a> by the Duchess herself as “an extension” of her essence.<\/p>\n

The newly released holiday collection, “The Holiday Collection: Chapter one” features the tagline “merriment in the making.”<\/p>\n

The collection includes\u00a0a selection of gift baskets, chocolate bars, hand-dipped fruit covered in chocolate, chocolate bars, playing cards, and an advent calendar.<\/p>\n

They are currently only being shipped within the United States.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018Incredibly<\/p>\n

The advent calendar<\/a>, which is being sold for $148 or $6 per chocolate, is inspired by Meghan’s Montecito home and garden and created in collaboration with Los Angeles chocolatier Compart\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

The flavours draw on other As Ever favourites, including their strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, and orange marmalade spreads in addition to a special chocolate finished with Meghan’s signature flower sprinkles and an award-winning rich dark chocolate ganache truffle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The calendar, which comes just days apart from Buckingham Palace’s own line of advent calendars, has drawn fierce backlash online for its steep price point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One X user commented: “I couldn’t care less. Anyone who is dumb enough to pay $150 buck for her cheap s**t deserves to get taken in.”<\/p>\n

Others said they prefer the Palace’s advent calendars because they’re “less than half the money” and claimed they were higher quality.<\/p>\n

\"\u2018Baffled<\/p>\n

According to The Daily Mail<\/a>, the Duchess’s online supporters issued toxic attacks at two British clergymen for their criticisms of the calendars.<\/p>\n

Reverend Daniel French tweeted, “But for \u00a35.99 you can pre order a Christian Advent Calendar with fairtrade chocolate from the Meaningful Chocolate Company. Donation is made to Leprosy Mission. Includes little booklet on the meaning of Christmas.”<\/p>\n

This invited furor among the Duchess’s “Sussex Squad,” who labelled French and Father Chris Phillips “demons,” “satan spawn,” and “evil.”<\/p>\n

After Phillips came to French’s defense, he was met with similar social media hate, prompting him to lock down his X account.<\/p>\n

The accounts, while supportive of the Duchess, are not affiliated with her camp.<\/p>\n
