Meghan Markle Shares Cozy Glimpse Of Her Home With As Ever Brand Touches

Meghan Markle recently delighted royal fans with a glimpse of her stunning home in Montecito on Instagram.

In a small clip, the Duchess of Sussex showcased her rescue beagle, Mia, alongside flowers displayed in a planter embossed with the logo of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

The brand, known for its seasonal goods such as teas, wine, and honey, holds deep personal significance for Meghan Markle through its logo, which features twin palm trees and hummingbirds.

On Friday, September 26, Meghan posted an Instagram Story featuring her rescue beagle, Mia, dozing comfortably on an armchair draped with an Hermès throw. Beside the pup sat a vibrant bouquet of fresh flowers.

"Delphinium, Nigella, Veronica — meet As ever," the Duchess of Sussex captioned the photo, highlighting the colorful arrangement. "With garden roses and Queen Anne's lace (and a very sleepy Mia). Looking lovely, ladies."

The subtle nod to Queen Anne wasn't the only noteworthy touch. The blooms were arranged in a white planter embossed with the logo of her lifestyle brand, As Ever.

Although there are reportedly no immediate plans for an official homeware launch, the vase was created as part of her Netflix series "With Love, Meghan."

Still, Meghan has previously teased that As Ever could expand beyond food and lifestyle into home décor and fashion, making this chic peek another sign of what could come.

So far, As Ever has debuted an assortment of seasonal products, including fruit spreads, honey, floral sprinkles, cookie mixes, teas, and wine, all personally selected by Meghan.

In April, the Duchess hinted at plans for her lifestyle business to expand into home offerings and hospitality.

"I hope that people see that reflected in whatever it is that I'm creating and putting out there," she told Inc after her first launch sold out in under an hour. "It's just an extension of me."

That sense of personal meaning extends to the brand's logo, which features two palm trees joined at the base and flanked by hummingbirds.

For Meghan and Prince Harry, the As Ever logo, a pair of palm trees joined at the base and flanked by hummingbirds, is deeply symbolic.

In a 2022 interview with The Cut, Meghan recalled Harry's reaction when they first saw the twin palm trees on their property.

"One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees," she recalled. "See how they're connected at the bottom? He goes, 'My love, it's us."

The hummingbirds on the logo also carry a deep meaning, particularly for Harry. In his 2023 memoir "Spare," the Duke of Sussex shared an emotional story about discovering a hummingbird inside their home shortly after the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth. In many cultures, the bird is seen as a symbol of spirits.

Harry described how the hummingbird darted through their kitchen, eventually hovering above the playpen lovingly nicknamed "Lili Land," a space for their daughter, Princess Lilibet, now 4, who was named in honor of the late monarch.

"I thought hopefully, greedily, foolishly: Is our house a detour — or a destination?" he reflected.

Meghan recently shared a stunning photo of a serene moment on her brand's Instagram account.

In the photo, the Duchess of Sussex could be seen posing with her dogs as they enjoyed a quiet moment at her Montecito estate.

Meghan rocked a flowing yellow maxi dress with large sleeves and a cinched waist. She had her gaze turned toward a pair of palm trees; the same kind of trees she had described as symbolic of her and Prince Harry's relationship.

Her caption for the post read: "Crisp air, blue skies, and the sweetest moments."

As Meghan continues to grow her business, her husband, Harry, appears uninterested in being a significant part of it, according to royal biographer Tom Bower.

During a chat with GB News, after Harry's recent trip to the UK, Bower addressed the Duke of Sussex's recent actions and declared that he has "separated himself" from his wife's "crashing career."

When asked if Harry had "painted himself into irrelevance" after he and Meghan left royal life in 2020, Bower said no, highlighting how the prince always makes a splash whenever he comes to the UK.

He explained, "Well, he hasn't, because when he comes here, he becomes a focus of attention. But of course, he is spare to Meghan or was, in her attempt to become the great television homemaker. But her series, her career, is crashing."

Bower continued, "So very cleverly, Harry has separated himself from Meghan, as she did from him, but she still needs him. And so you've got this couple in Montecito, desperately looking for a new purpose in life."
