Meghan Markle planning expansion of her lifestyle and wellness line only weeks after taking ‘step back'
Meghan Markle's As Ever lifestyle brand is planning to expand. The Duchess of Sussex has adjusted beyond selling more than just jam and flower sprinkles. According to documents obtained by Page Six, Meghan will be adding 'hospitality services in the nature of provision of food and drink' and 'hospitality services in the nature of provision of temporary accommodation' to her business. These hospitality services would potentially include hotels and restaurants. The Independent has reached out to representatives of Meghan for comment. The news comes less than one week after the Duchess announced that As Ever will be restocking some of its highly sought-after products. She teased the return of her products on Tuesday, writing on her Instagram: ''June Gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favorite products are back.' Meghan then issued a call-out to sign up to the brand's mailing list for fans to find out details and timing. Products, including $15 Flower Sprinkles, $14 Raspberry Spread in Keepsake Packaging, $28 Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb, $12 Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea, $12 Herbal Hibiscus Tea, and $12 Herbal Peppermint Tea from the first As Ever launch in April, sold out in less than an hour. A date for the restock has not yet been revealed. The news came after the Duchess said in an interview with Fast Company that she was planning to 'assess' new avenues for her brand as she wants to take a 'step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be.' 'I want to really focus on the hospitality angle of As Ever, but as we take the learnings, we can understand what the customer's needs are seasonally,' Meghan told the publication. 'My heart is very deeply in my home. Everything comes from being rooted in the love story of your home and garden, and then you can imagine different verticals coming out of that.' Asked whether she might explore moving into clothing one day, Meghan responded: 'Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an intriguing space for me.' She further echoed her decision to 'pause' production for As Ever during an episode of her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast on Tuesday with her guest, Tina Knowles. As she and Knowles were discussing the amount of work and testing that went into their respective products, Meghan admitted she wasn't sure what to do after seeing all of her products sell out in 45 minutes. 'Then what do you do? You say, OK. We planned as best as we could,' she said. 'Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour, or is that annoying as a customer?'

Meghan Markle could face 'unlikely rival' as TV star makes huge career change
Penny Lancaster, who is married to rock legend Rod Stewart, recently launched a new career venture - and one journalist believes she could soon rival Meghan Markle Penny Lancaster could reportedly rival Meghan Markle 's lifestyle brand if she chooses to fully commit to a new business endeavour. The former model, who is married to singer Sir Rod Stewart, revealed recently that she has started producing a product initially made for her family, now sharing it with friends as well. A recent article compared the 54-year-old to the Duchess of Sussex, who recently entered the business world with her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Writing in the Mail on Sunday, it was stated that Penny is "giving Meghan's As Ever brand a run for its money" with her line of honey, coinciding with reports that Meghan is trying to make a splash with her Raspberry Spread. While speaking at the Chelsea Flower Show, the Loose Women star mentioned that she had previously been producing the item solely for her family, but is now sharing it with friends. Harriet also disclosed that Penny began her unusual venture with a few beehives at her mansion, reports Glasgow Live. Beyond honey, the Duchess sells various food products on her website, including Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and a Shortbread Cookie Mix with Flower Sprinklers. Nevertheless, one particular product might signal an emerging rivalry. For $28, customers can sample Meghan's Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb on the As Ever website, described as being "inspired by Meghan's own appreciation" of the "art of harvesting" at her California home in Montecito. It now seems that Penny Lancaster could challenge Meghan Markle in the world of lifestyle brands if she decides to take her new venture a step further. In the world of celebrity updates, Penny recently took to Instagram to express her immense pride in her husband, a true music icon, as they celebrate an impressive 18 years of marriage. Accompanied by a love heart emoji and a congratulatory banner, Penny couldn't hide her admiration for the 80 year old rock star: "So proud of my man - lifetime achievement award @amas." The photo shows Rod looking dapper in a black suit with a crisp white shirt. The rock sensation has been honoured with the American Music Awards' lifetime achievement award, which was presented by five of his children in a touching moment. Addressing the audience, Rod expressed his surprise and delight: "I'm absolutely flabbergasted. I didn't know they were here - my children." He proceeded to thank his fellow musicians and reminisced about his youthful passion for simply wanting to sing—not for fame or fortune. Rod humbly said: "That's all I wanted to do. I didn't want to be rich or famous. And here I am, a few years later, picking up this wonderful award." Renowned for chart-toppers like 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? ' and 'Maggie May', the legendary singer has amassed over 120 million album sales globally, with numerous albums reaching the Billboard 200's top spots. Among other headline-grabbers of the evening were Eminem who bagged Favourite Male Hip Hop Artist, and Billie Eilish who triumphed as Artist of the Year.
