<\/p>\nMeghan, Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand As Ever has taken to Instagram to offer her personal entertaining guidance, posted under the heading “Meghan’s Hosting Notes”. <\/p>\n
The central recommendation urges hosts to ensure “as much prepped as possible before guests arrive”, while keeping one “simple task for the end”.<\/p>\n
According to the post, this final job should be: “Something you can finish in the kitchen while everyone settles in.”<\/p>\n
The brand emphasised that “a little preparation goes a long way toward making hosting feel effortless.” <\/p>\n

Meghan moved back to the UK at the end of August, and earlier this month hosted her close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, who travelled over to visit.<\/p>\n
Mrs McKee Zajfen subsequently shared on social media that Meghan had received a “loving” reception since her return, describing it as “beautiful to witness”.<\/p>\n
The hosting advice follows a similar theme to her Netflix programme, With Love, Meghan, which provided tips on entertaining, cookery and crafts.<\/p>\n

Critics gave the series a poor reception when it debuted in 2025 alongside the launch of As Ever, which markets products including jam and flower sprinkles.<\/p>\n
The Duchess is not the first figure connected to the Royal Family to face scrutiny for dispensing lifestyle guidance.<\/p>\n
Pippa Matthews, sister of the Princess of Wales, published an entertaining manual titled Celebrate, which drew widespread mockery for what many considered overly simplistic suggestions.<\/p>\n

Pippa launched her book ‘Celebrate’ at an afternoon children’s halloween party held at Daunt Books in 2012<\/p>\n

The book’s reception was so derisive that it inspired a parody account on social media.<\/p>\n
Whether Meghan’s hosting notes from As Ever will attract a similarly sceptical response remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
However, the brand appears undeterred in positioning the Duchess as an authority on domestic entertaining and gracious hospitality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meghan, Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand As Ever has taken to Instagram to offer her personal entertaining guidance,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,100,98794,1852,2331,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-785930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-meghan-markle","tag-pippa-middleton","tag-royal","tag-sgg","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
