Meghan Markle recently discussed her belief that her products will continue to sell well despite economic uncertainties. The Duchess of Sussex stated that she does not anticipate President Donald Trump’s tariffs directly affecting her products, as they are currently made in the U.S. She emphasized creating affordable and accessible products, especially during times of recession when people seek comfort and joy.
However, British royal expert Hilary Fordwich criticized Meghan’s statements as being out of touch, especially given the economic struggles many consumers are facing. Meghan launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in April, with products such as teas, baking mixes, and a limited-edition wildflower honey, which quickly sold out online.
Despite Meghan’s optimism, branding experts cautioned that she needs to maintain message discipline to appeal to consumers during potential economic downturns. Meghan’s Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” has faced criticism for being unrelatable and inauthentic. Meghan and Prince Harry’s deal with Netflix will conclude this year, and their previous documentaries have not performed well.
Ultimately, while Meghan remains confident in the success of her brand, some experts are skeptical about the long-term sustainability of her products. Regardless, Meghan continues to promote her products and lifestyle, aiming to connect her personal and professional life. New episodes of “With Love, Meghan” are set to be released in the fall, and her $9 jam from As Ever is also anticipated to be available soon.
