Meghan Markle was a vision in her latest social media post, as she announced an exciting update for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

The Duchess of Sussex looked svelte in a black turtleneck paired with slimming black pants, and she added black flats and gold jewellery to complete the outfit.

She wore her brunette tresses pulled back into a neat ponytail and leaned against her kitchen bench in the stylish snap.

Behind her was an array of desserts and some As Ever products, including the strawberry spread. "The Holiday Collection: Chapter One is now open," she wrote in the caption. "Discover our first arrivals of the season, with thoughtful gifts and new favourites for everyone on your list."

The announcement comes just days after Meghan announced her collaboration with the Los Angeles chocolatier Compartes, with the brands launching an advent calendar in the shape of the Montecito home she shares with her husband, Prince Harry. 

The chocolates are inspired by As Ever's spreads, Meghan's home, and her garden. The mother of two launched her lifestyle brand in April 2025, and shared with People that running As Ever was far from easy.

"There are tons of twists and turns – even with the name," she explained. "I was figuring it out in real time."

"I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out, and also to be forgiving with myself through that. It's a learning curve," she added.

Meghan's major move

Meghan has been running the brand from the UK ever since she and Harry moved with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in August. 

The move came after six years of living in California following the couple's decision to step down as working royals in 2020. Harry and Meghan were seen dining out at a pub in the Cotswolds in October, and are clearly settling into their new life.

The Duke shared with HELLO! at the WellChild Awards that Archie and Lilibet had had a case of the "Monday morning blues" before starting at their new school in the UK, but that they had cheered up after he told them about his charity work.

"At breakfast this morning, I decided, 'You know what? You're being a little bit tricky, so I'm going to tell you exactly what I'm doing tonight.' And they were genuinely fascinated and asking all sorts of questions," he said. "So, like with all of my work and their mum's work as well, whatever we can do to try to instil some of that awareness, I think is absolutely crucial."

Harry added that he had introduced them to some British delicacies since they moved, with Marmite on crumpets being a favourite.

 "They do [approve], they do very much. I mean, they used to diss me for having Marmite in the house, and now they're in the UK, that's kind of like water under the bridge, so it's good," he joked.
