Meghan Markle sends first newsletter to As Ever subscribers following the release of her Netflix show
Meghan Markle is back on the blogging scene – as she released a lengthy letter to subscribers of her new As Ever website on Tuesday morning that referenced her growth over the years and the many hats that she’s worn in her life.
Off the heels of her eight-episode series premiere on Netflix, Markle opened up the website for her lifestyle brand to the public, sharing what was coming soon to the product line.
However, before you could even click on each individual item, which included raspberry spread in ‘keepsake packaging’ and a limited-edition wildflower honey, website visitors were encouraged to share their email to subscribe to the brand’s messages.
And, once signed up, a note from The Duchess came through to your email, with a subject line that read, ‘Welcome to As Ever.’
Markle began the email, which was obtained by DailyMail.com, by addressing her subscribers as ‘friends.’
‘I am so happy to have you join me on this adventure. Some of you will remember receiving newsletters similar to this one back in 2014, when I founded The Tig,’ Markle began, referencing her now-defunct lifestyle blog.
At the time, Markle used to share her favorite recipes, travel guides, and fashion tips on the platform, which she shut down once she became a working British Royal Family Member.
‘Though much has changed since then, so much has stayed the same,’ she continued. ‘I still dance in my kitchen, experiment with recipes, get my hands dirty in the garden, laugh with friends over way too many glasses of wine, and pivot from going out in a date night worthy dress to being cozy at home in sweats and a baseball cap.’

‘And on that note – it’s not lost on me that I’ve worn a lot of hats in my life (pun intended) but as with the ethos of this brand name, I know that in so many ways, I, like all of us, remain “as we’ve ever been,”‘ her email read.
In the second half of her note, the mom-of-two explained more about what she hopes for the brand.
‘That’s what As Ever means: as it’s always been; the same as always. With As Ever, I trust you’ll feel this in every beat of what we’ve created,’ Markle penned.
‘It is a line of products designed to make your everyday moments memories, to turn a basic breakfast into a beautiful snapshot of your life and to be kind to yourself and create a space for grace when it doesn’t all go according to plan,’ she continued.
‘For me, it all started with jars of preserves I was canning with fruit I picked from my garden. It began, quite literally, with something sweet – and through every twist and turn as a founder, it has become something even sweeter.
‘They say you have to break a lot of eggs to make an omelette – and that is true. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they crack, and sometimes you don’t have enough eggs at all – but I will tell you this much: no matter how many eggs break in the process, you can still end up with a pretty great omelette.’
At the end of her email blast, the new Netflix star promised that there is much more to come from her brand.
‘Sometimes even better than you expected. There is so much more coming, and I can’t wait to share it with you,’ she concluded.

After a much-anticipated arrival, Markle’s show finally made a splash on Netflix Tuesday, as she hosted many of her famous friends in her kitchen, including comedian Mindy Kaling and actress Abigail Spencer.
Her husband, Prince Harry, even had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in the final episode of the series – where the Duchess of Sussex organized a brunch ‘with her community.’

‘Oh there he is,’ she gushed as her husband walked in, sporting a casual linen shirt and jeans for the outing.
The couple packed on the PDA as the Duchess huddled up to her husband, and said ‘good, right?’ while admiring the spread of champagne, Mimosas, quiche, bacon, pancakes and salad laid out.
‘Well done,’ he assured. ‘You did a great job. I love it.’
He can also be seen proudly looking on and raising a glass as the Duchess thanks those in attendance for ‘loving her so much and celebrating with her.’
