The constant sellouts for As ever and #10 spot on Netflix might seem flashy and an indicator of great success, but trouble is brewing behind the scenes for the Duchess of Sussex
Excellent tutorial in business practices and branding, not to mention business ethics. Why would you purchase any of her products made by Republic of Tea(a lovely brand) and not from the same company directly? As Ever products are over priced and over rated....
I actually purchase things like this from the Highgrove website or the Highgrove products from Fortnum and Mason. The quality is superb!!!! And it benefits one of the trusts started by King Charles. Try the lemon curd, the mustards and amy of the jams...... delightful!
I tried their peppermint tea, and it was so, so, SO much better than Meghan Markle's! Her's was essentially toothpaste. I think others will find better alternatives to Meghan's, which will be great for Charles!
Overall Meghan’s projects create a lot of noise but are underwhelming.
Meghan’s preview of With love, Meghan had the worst ratio in Netflix’s history with 91% dislike to 9% likes.
Then Meghan delayed the show by 6 weeks the reason was LA Wildfires. Instead of premiering in January between New Year and Inauguration of President Trump. Then it premiered in March. Her retail arm wasn’t even ready. Meghan’s show generated interest due to Meghan largest media platform but it cratered. It was universally panned by critics and audiences alike. It premiered on Netflix at #5 and within a week it fell off Netflix Top 10. This show what Meghan truly is shallow, vacuous, vain and vapid. Meghan’s projects again generate noise but doesn’t translate into a revenue stream,
As ever has been a complete mess. It started as American Rivera Orchard last year. Meghan created a rush for people wanting jam. The King’s brand Highgrove and Palaces has made profits at the expense of Meghan. American Rivera Orchard was trapped in Trademark Hell for months. Then due to internet sleuths we found out Meghan renamed her company As ever. Then Meghan had to do a last minute video to communicate with the public but was not transparent. The marketing launch of this brand has been a joke. Meghan has used all American Rivera Orchard marketing and social media accounts and overwriting American Orchard Rivera which is incredibly wrong. Then As ever lacks a social media strategy, she doesn’t use her products and doesn’t include the products into recipes. Also Meghan lacks a passion for this brand. Meghan is running this brand like a hobby. Meghan is creating false scarcity. Meghan should have core products all the time. Then have seasonal products for the season.
Then we have another flop of a podcast call Confessions of a Female Founder. Again Meghan generates interest but cannot convert her audience into followers. The guests on the show were interesting. The problem is Meghan lacks intelligence, social skills to carry a conversation and lacks skills to skillfully interview people well. There was only 1% of business knowledge and every question Meghan has twist the conversation back to herself. Meghan uses her podcast to clap back at her critics. If this was hosted by another person I think this would be an interesting podcast. Meghan didn’t use her social media every week to create a post reinforced the podcast. Yet when she did a post on social media was when she panics about the numbers. That was too late then.
Overall I see a boring brand that lacks substance. She thinks can be billionaire with this business plan is a joke. There is no proprietary items. Meghan lacks transparency so we can measure how well her projects her doing. Which gives me the feeling that she incompetent content creator and entrepreneur. Meghan’s problem overall is people don’t trust her. Until she addresses the key problem she will keep having problems. The key problem throughout since Harry and Meghan have been married has been them.
“As Ever” reminds me of a phrase we used as kids. We would declare “AS IF” or “YOU WISH” in our best indignant voice to indicate we knew something just said resembled something that was not actually the case. (It was nicer than calling them a liar.) Lol Funny how something today awakens a long ago memory from fifty plus years ago. We were ahead of our time. 😆 Nine years old and knew what to say when being played or fed a line of bull.
It's only STUFF and not exciting at all. No one in Britain cares about her or that pathetic limp rag she used to get a fake moniker. Our Royal Family has something toxic at the heart. Our late Queen knew about it and kept it at bay for her lifetime.
All the misery in the world and this is your contribution, a callous and spiteful article. Christ, we are all on this planet for the blink of an eye, find something you love and use your talents to do uplifting and joyful work. Writing content like this is not good for you.
A favourite lady to whose literary salon Dr Johnson often went and was a welcome guest asked him if Hannah More would be joining them. He replied yes,and she will sit by me,because she is beautiful and never says a bad or cruel word about anyway. And that is why replied the Lady, I wont have her sit by me.
Not supporting anyone here. However if all those issues and realities were of my business I seriously doubt you would be as publicaly critical. Just saying.
Why is there so much vitriol for this woman? She really only wants to do good, and if it makes her look good, why that so bad?. Why so much animosity? Let her do her thing. Good or bad you don't have to hate on her. Really it is not that hard.
We all hate the Royal Family now,or are bored of them at least. I feel sorry for little Prince George. Or maybe he'll be the lucky one instead. Able to be a truck driver or a milkman.

Thank you! And I agree. I'll be doing a taste comparison with Meghan's tea and several from Republic of Tea too.

I love her products and hope to order more. The Royals are so jelly of her jelly!
She made spread, not jelly or jam.
You people are sad.
Leave her alone to make a living.
Lol… I would think of the Duchess of Sussex literally NEVER if the silly tabloids didn’t write about her.

Not a Duchess. They rejected their position. They lost their titles.

She is a psychopath with narcissistic tendencies.
