Meghan Marks Net-a-Sale: As Ever Rosé Still Available! Dive into Season Two of 'With Love, Meghan'

The Duchess of Sussex has shared the latest promo for her lifestyle brand - as she revealed that customers can expect a restock of products along with season two of With Love, Meghan airing

Meghan Markle's Empire Expansion: From Rosé to Reality TV

The Duchess of Sussex is back with a vengeance, and this time she's not just slinging tea and cookies like your aunt at a family reunion. No, no. Meghan Markle has been quietly building an empire, and it's about to get a whole lot bigger.

In the latest development in her ongoing quest for global domination (just kidding, sort of), Meghan dropped a bombshell on her Instagram followers: she's restocking her lifestyle brand, As Ever, with all your favorite goodies - and by "goodies," I mean rosé wine, cookie mix, tea, flower sprinkles, and jams. Because what's a royal without her own line of artisanal spreads?

The message was accompanied by a glossy snap of Prince Harry's wife, 44, with no face visible in the frame, watering some greenery as she wears jeans and a button-up shirt

But that's not all, folks! Meghan's also got a new season of her Netflix reality show, With Love, Meghan, premiering on August 26th. And by "new season," I mean she's basically just repackaging last year's content with some fresh faces and a fancy new intro. Still, it's hard to resist the allure of watching the Duchess of Sussex pour herself a glass of rosé and declare, "This is the best sip of wine I've ever had!"

Now, we know what you're thinking: "Meghan, where's the substance?" Well, let me tell you - behind the glitz and glamour of As Ever lies a woman on a mission to monetize every aspect of her royal experience. And by "monetize," I mean turn it into a lucrative business empire that'll make her richer than Queen Elizabeth (just kidding... or am I?).

The Wine Wars: A Tale of Two Rosés

During the first episodes of With Love, Meghan, which aired in March, the duchess's culinary tips included how to plate up a takeaway and tie a bow around a bag of shop-bought pretzels

Meghan's latest venture is, of course, her rosé wine - the 2024 Napa Valley Rosé. And let me tell you, it's a doozy. With an ABV of 13.5%, this pale pink drink is basically just water with a hint of flavor (but hey, that's what makes it so refreshing, right?). The real question on everyone's mind: how does it compare to the 2023 rosé?

Well, sources close to the Duchess (okay, fine - I made that up) claim that the 2024 wine is "thoughtfully curated by Meghan" and has been "made to be enjoyed with the ones you love." But let's get real here: this is a woman who once declared on national TV that she was drinking rosé while cooking dinner. This is not about the wine; it's about the image.

And speaking of images, have you seen the packaging for As Ever? It's like something out of a luxury boutique - complete with clear glass bottles and gold-rimmed labels. I mean, who needs actual quality when you can just slap on some fancy labels and charge an arm and a leg?

The Netflix Deal: A Downgrade or a New Chapter?

Meanwhile, over at Netflix, the Sussexes have signed a new "multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects." But here's the thing: this deal is basically just a rehashing of their old contract - minus the hefty price tag. So, what does it mean for Harry and Meghan?

Well, according to sources (okay, fine - I'm making that up again), the new arrangement is "a first-look deal, which means Netflix gets first dibs but no obligation to bankroll every semi-royal whim." In other words, they're basically just getting a taste of what's to come. But hey, at least they get to keep their Netflix office - and by "Netflix office," I mean the plush mansion in Montecito where they live.

The As Ever Brand: A Lifestyle Empire

So, what exactly is As Ever? It's Meghan's lifestyle brand, which launched earlier this year with a line of artisanal goods. But let's be real here: it's just a way for her to monetize her royal experience - and by "monetize," I mean turn every aspect of her life into a commodity.

The As Ever website describes the rosé wine as "thoughtfully curated by Meghan" and has been "made to be enjoyed with the ones you love." But what about the rest of the products? The cookie mix, tea, flower sprinkles, and jams? Are those just random things she threw together in a garage sale?

The Viewership Numbers: A Reality Check

But don't just take my word for it - let's look at the numbers. With Love, Meghan, which premiered back in March, managed to scrape together 5.3 million viewers worldwide. Not bad, but not exactly blockbuster material either. I mean, that's less than half the views of Harry & Meghan, their bombshell documentary from last year (which, by the way, was a huge success - with 23.4 million views in its first four days).

So, what does it all mean? Is Meghan Markle building an empire or just trying to make a quick buck off her royal connections? Hard to say, but one thing's for sure: she's got some seriously high expectations to live up to.
