Meghan Markle tells fans to ‘make breakfast for dinner’ and ‘cut sandwiches into triangles’ in first tips from As Ever newsletter

The reviews may have been brutal but that has not stopped Meghan’s commercial juggernaut rolling out.

The day after her widely panned With Love, Meghan, Netflix series dropped, so did the first email plugging her new ‘As Ever’ newsletter.

It is crammed with even more tips and tricks from Montecito – and includes links to her forthcoming products, including edible ‘flower sprinkles’, crepe mix, limited-edition honey and, yes, more of those flower sprinkles, this time on shortbread cookies.

Among the pearls of wisdom shared by the Duchess of Sussex is ‘one of my favourites’ – ‘making breakfast for dinner’.

‘Those small yet meaningful moments of connection are where we can all find the magic in the everyday,’ she writes.

She also trills about the ‘simplicity of a grilled cheese sandwich cut into small triangles and dunked into tomato soup with your kids’ and giving friends ‘the single dahlia hand-picked from your garden… instead of the grandeur of a large bouquet’.

Then there is ‘the lost art of a handwritten note, written with care to simply say ‘thinking of you’ and placed in an actual mailbox (with an actual stamp) and sent with love’.

Sent in an actual email.

Meghan says her crepe mix was inspired by her time visiting France as a student and reminds her of making them as a student as well as now, in her family home

‘Those small yet meaningful moments of connection are where we can all find the magic in the everyday,’ she adds.

The Duchess of Sussex also advises recipients how ‘showing up for someone can make them feel a little more lives, and definitely more seen’ and helpfully adds that her new ‘As Ever’ range is a reminder that ‘small gestures do not have to be grand’.

‘It’s the thought that counts the most’, she writes. Especially when buying goods from her new range.

There are no prices yet on the handful of items that will be for sale this spring, but they include hibiscus tea (‘that reminds me of the sun tea I made in my childhood’), ‘crunchy and delicious shortbread cookies that remind me of my time in England’. Each bears ‘tiny flower sprinkles’ to ‘add extra beauty and charm to enjoy each delicate bite’.

Meghan says her crepe mix was inspired by her time visiting France as a student and reminds her of making them as a student as well as now, in her family home.

She adds that her ‘beloved fruit spreads’ are ‘homed over years of recipe testing’ and have a ‘fragrance that says ‘Welcome home’.

She signs off ‘With As Ever I welcome you to the feeling of my home, and invite you to have this joy in your home too’ and says the ‘curated collection’ is ‘more than a brand – it’s a love language’, ‘inspired by her long-lasting love of cooking, entertaining and hostessing with ease’.

The marketing message also includes links to a raspberry spread in ‘keepsake packaging’ plus herbal peppermint and lemon ginger teas.
