Meghan Markle’s empire: Everything we know about her latest ventures

Meghan Markle is marching to the beat of her own drum this year, with a multitude of projects on the horizon sure to make 2025 a memorable one for her.

Since stepping away from the royal family in 2020 with husband Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex has added a few projects to her belt, including her Spotify podcast Archetypes, a Netflix documentary with Harry titled Harry & Meghan, and even a children’s book published in 2021.

However, it’s the year 2025 that is shaping up to be quite momentous for Meghan, first with the release of her lifestyle show on Netflix, With Love, Meghan, and now the launch of her very own lifestyle brand!

That’s not all though, the former Suits star is also reportedly gearing up for another podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder, due for release today, April 8, 2025!

Here’s all we know about Meghan’s latest moves.

With Love, Meghan

After a successful first season drop last month, Netflix has renewed Meghan’s take on a Martha Stewart-esque lifestyle show.

As per its description, With Love, Meghan ‘celebrates the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship’ while also reimagining ‘the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.’

The first season featured several notable celebs joining Meghan in her kitchen, including Mindy Kaling and Abigail Spencer, and we can’t wait to see who the Duchess invites over for round two!

As Ever

Next up on the 2025 agenda for Meghan Markle is her business venture, As Ever, previously named American Riviera Orchard, with its first collection launching just last week, on April 2.

The Duchess first teased the brand last year in 2024, sending out PR baskets filled with home-made jams and preserves to some close friends and neighbours including Kris Jenner and Chrissy Teigen. However, the interest died down after the brand went silent.

Meghan has since announced the revival and Relaunch of American Riviera Orchard, this time As Ever, explaining how she does not want to ‘limit’ her brand to things only produced in the ‘American Riviera’ region of Santa Barbara.

As per the brand’s trademark application, Meghan is aiming to sell homemade jams and preserves, as well as all things kitchen related, like tableware, linens, cookbooks etc.

Confessions of a Female Founder

Seems like Meghan Markle refuses to rest, however, with her latest project, a podcast titled Confessions of a Female Founder, in collaboration with Lemonada.

Billed as an inspiration show for budding entrepreneurs, the podcast will feature Meghan ‘getting advice and insights from a handful of amazing women who have scaled small ideas into successful companies,’ as per Lemonada.

The first episode is titled ‘The Evolution of the Entrepreneur with Bumble’s Whitney Wolfe Herd’, and features an in-depth conversation with Whitney Wolfe Herd, co-founder and founder of online dating apps Tinder and Bumble.
