A Meghan Markle brand insider has revealed what is really going on with the Duchess’s As Ever business. Meghan Markle launched additional products as part of her holiday collection and an insider has claimed her brand has seen an “uptick” in sales, with earlier problems appearing to have been “ironed out”.
This season, the brand expanded into new categories, including candles and sparkling wine, and additional products launching throughout the remainder of the year. The Duchess of Sussex launched As Ever in April in conjunction with her new show on Netflix, ‘With Love, Meghan’. The holiday episode is set to be released on December 3.
In a simple 5-word statement, a source claimed, “It’s all going very well.”
They told outlet, Newsweek: “There has been the inevitable seasonal uptick that you would expect, Thanksgiving being this week and then we start running into Christmas.”
When Meghan first launched her brand, problems with As Ever’s supply chain meant each stock release sold out in minutes, much to the annoyance of customers.
However, early supply chain problems appear to have settled down, meaning that since her recent drops fans of the duchess have always had something available to buy, from teas to wine.
A Sussex source told Newsweek: “Everybody’s really pleased that some of the gremlins that were there at the start—that are inevitable with any new business—seem to have been ironed out now… as it related to things like supply chain, production, scalability, that sort of thing.
“It all seems to be in a pretty good place but it’s still a young business. There’s still and always will be room for improvement, but it’s going really, really well. It’s starting to find its stride now.”
Meghan Markle unveiled the trailer for her holiday special of her Netflix show last week.
The new trailer shows Meghan searching for the perfect Christmas tree as she walks through a Christmas tree farm.
The trailer opens with the 44-year-old saying: “I love the holiday season. It’s about finding time to connect with the people you love. Embracing traditions and making new ones.”
The new footage shows the former Suits star trying her hand at baking, as well as decorating cups and hanging wreaths.
Prince Harry is also spotted briefly in the footage as the Montecito household prepares for Christmas.
