Meghan Markle is expanding her As ever lifestyle brand into the UK for the first time, with products like tea, candles and bookmarks set to go on sale – though her spreads and flower sprinkles are staying off the list for now due to food import restrictions. The move comes two months after she and Prince Harry relocated to Britain with Archie and Lilibet, which the couple has so far only ever described as an "extended stay."
It also lands just days before Meghan and Harry's first joint public engagement in the UK in six years, a visit to three charities in Nottingham – the same city where they made their first-ever outing together back in 2017.
For some royal watchers, bringing As ever onto British shelves reads as a clear signal: this family is settling in for good. Others point out that growing a business into a new market is a commercial call, not a residency one, and that "extended stay" could still mean exactly that. So, do you think the UK is becoming Meghan and Harry's permanent base? Vote below, and tell us in the comments what evidence would change your mind.
