According to a source, the Duchess of Sussex plans to expand her business in the U.K. as well. However, while supportive of Markle\u2019s expansion, Prince Harry is \u2018encouraging\u2019 her not to compete with King Charles Highgrove, as it \u201cis not simply a lifestyle label \u2013 it underpins charitable initiatives that are deeply personal to Charles and tied to his public service identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prince Harry \u2018encouraging\u2019 Meghan Markle to not compete with King Charles brand, per source<\/p>\n<p>Meghan Markle is eyeing an expansion of her venture, As Ever, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/02\/03\/prince-harry-rile-up-meghan-markle-concern-brand-as-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">in the U.K<\/a>., following its success.
