A majority of Meghan Markle<\/a> fans have reportedly been left disappointed as they are unable to buy As Ever<\/a> products under the brand\u2019s current shipping policy. According to SimilarWeb data, the amount of visits arriving onto the website was increasing but the issue was the fact that the brand<\/a> still currently only ships to places across the US.<\/p>\n

The data showed that the website attracted 196,831 visits in October, rising to 268,200 by January – an increase of more than 71,000 visitors. The website showed a month-by-month increase, with December attracting 245,982 visits.<\/p>\n

According to Newsweek<\/a>, Meghan’s brand – which officially launched in April 2025 – has faced a problem with its geographical reach.<\/p>\n

It shared that approximately two-thirds of As Ever’s visitors originate from countries outside the United States<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meghan, 44, has previously expressed her desire to make her brand accessible to people outside of America.<\/p>\n

She told the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast<\/a> in June 2025: “Compliance is different globally when we get into that market, which we will.”<\/p>\n

Emma then asked her, “You’re going global?,”, to which Meghan responded: “How can we not?”<\/p>\n

The brand underwent a significant transformation before reaching it originally launched.<\/p>\n

It was previously meant to launch under the name American Riviera Orchard<\/a> – a reference to Santa Barbara’s nickname – however, trademark issues forced Meghan to consider a different name.<\/p>\n

Officially launching under its new name, As Ever released a collection of raspberry spread, teas and baking mixes – selling out within 60 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A majority of Meghan Markle fans have reportedly been left disappointed as they are unable to buy As…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":314208,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[88741,156,4866,88742,4870,22466,111,139,69,3164],"class_list":["post-314207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-as-ever","tag-entertainment","tag-meghan-markle","tag-meghan-markle-as-ever","tag-meghan-markle-latest","tag-meghan-markle-news","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-royal-family"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314207","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314207"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314207\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/314208"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314207"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314207"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314207"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
