Meghan Markle’s As Ever Products Given To Netflix Staff For Free

Netflix employees in Los Angeles are enjoying free products from Meghan Markle‘s lifestyle brand, As Ever, which includes jams, candles, wine, and her signature flower petal sprinkles.

The products, tied to her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan,” reportedly remain at the offices mainly for promotional purposes after most inventory was moved to a warehouse.

Meghan Markle launched the brand in partnership with Netflix, and insiders say it continues to sell out quickly, with plans for global expansion.

According to Page Six, Netflix staff in Los Angeles have been enjoying products from Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever.

Two storage rooms at the streamer’s Hollywood campus reportedly hold jars of jam, candles, wine, and Meghan’s signature flower petal sprinkles, and staff are said to be taking the products home freely.

“Apparently, there are two storage rooms packed with As ever product. They’re literally just giving it away to employees,” a source told the news outlet. “One (staffer) walked out with 10 products for free.”

Despite the giveaways, most of As Ever’s inventory was moved to a separate warehouse long ago. What remains at Netflix is primarily for promotional purposes, including gifting and sampling.

The presence of the products at the offices stems from Meghan’s partnership with Netflix, which helped launch the lifestyle range after she abandoned the original name, American Riviera Orchard, due to a trademark dispute.

The products were tied to her Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” which will not return for a third season after ratings dropped.

Last month, Meghan’s team denied claims that the business was struggling after a website glitch briefly revealed hundreds of thousands of unsold items: about 220,000 jars of jam, 30,000 jars of honey, 90,000 candles, 80,000 tins of flower sprinkles, and roughly 70,000 bottles of wine, including rosé, sauvignon blanc, and brut sparkling wine.

As Ever’s products carry premium price tags, too. The duchess’s jams and teas sell for $14, honey is $32 per jar, candles go for $64, rosé costs $35, and sparkling wine is $89 a bottle.

The brand’s current Valentine’s Day set combines chocolate, strawberry, and raspberry spreads, hibiscus tea, a water lotus and sandalwood-scented candle, and flower sprinkles for $185.

Reddit users discovered a glitch allowing them to calculate maximum stock levels by adding large quantities of products to their carts, but sources close to Meghan say the brand is preparing for international expansion, not struggling.

A source told People Magazinethat “the glitch that led to this data being revealed points to a business that isn’t just successful — it’s flying, literally off the shelf.”

Insiders claim the Duchess of Sussex, who retains a first-look deal with Netflix alongside her husband, Prince Harry, is now focusing on expanding her lifestyle brand and may continue releasing occasional holiday specials.

During an interview for Bloomberg Originas’ “The Circuit with Emily Chang,” Meghan said her debut rosé sold out in under an hour, and the brand increased inventory for a second seasonal drop, which also sold quickly.

“When you sell out that quickly, actually, it’s a double-edged sword, because it’s an incredible thing to happen for any small business and any startup, and at the same time, you don’t get the same metrics and learnings about which products are the most coveted, because it’s all gone immediately,” she explained.

Meghan, during her chat with Emily Chang, shared that the initial launch of products prompted a rapid scale-up due to the goods selling out quickly.

“[We] thought for sure that would at least last for a couple weeks,” she noted. “That sold out in a couple hours.”

Meghan continued, “And suddenly, the conversation goes from, at the start of this year, talking about a few thousand jars and lids, to ‘We need to do a purchase order of a million.’ And that’s a huge jump in just a few months of starting a business.”

When asked about global expansion, the royal swiftly confirmed, “Yes, absolutely.”

While Meghan’s lifestyle brand grows and flourishes, her lifestyle series “With Love, Meghan” may not come back for a third season.

“It’s not returning as a series. There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there’s nothing in the works yet,” a source told Page Six.

A second insider stated that the Duchess of Sussex will instead focus on her lifestyle brand As Ever, while another noted that “people will see similar cooking and crafting” on her social media pages, but they will be “more bite-sized.”

Speaking to People about the lifestyle series, a source confirmed at there are “currently no plans for a third season.”
