Meghan teases ‘delicious surprises' as she restocks lifestyle brand
Meghan said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary' and teased buyers they would only have to wait a few days for more items.
In an Instagram post, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Oh yes, honey… sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT – we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!'
In a newsletter, she also wrote: 'First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary.
'We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise.
'We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises.'
Earlier this month Meghan said she had decided to 'just pause' restocking her brand, saying she wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'.
She also spoke of the difficulties of building her firm and 'how many tears' she has shed behind the scenes on a bonus episode of her podcast featuring Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles.
Meghan had suggested the 'scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people', comparing it to 'a sneaker drop'.
But she feared it might be 'annoying' for customers, adding: 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.'
Meghan said: 'So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes.
'Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer?
'I'm looking at it saying 'Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need'.'
She added how people 'see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game… those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I've shed'.

California doctor to plead guilty to supplying Matthew Perry with ketamine
A California doctor accused of giving Friends star Matthew Perry access to ketamine in the weeks before the actor's overdose death has agreed to plead guilty, according to federal prosecutors. Dr Salvador Plasencia will plead guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine, federal prosecutors said in a statement on Monday. The plea carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and the doctor is expected to make his plea in the coming weeks. Who is the 'Ketamine Queen' accused of supplying Matthew Perry Doctor pleads guilty in Matthew Perry overdose deathKetamine swapped for salt as smugglers exploit Europe loophole in booming marketPerry – best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends – was found dead in his hot tub in Los Angeles in October 2023. He was 54 and although he'd been open about struggles with depression and addiction, fans around the world were shocked by his death. According to text messages shared with prosecutors from Dr Mark Chavez - a doctor who already pleaded guilty in the case - Dr Plasencia called Perry a "moron" and wondered how much he'd be willing to pay for the drugs. According to documents filed for the plea agreement, Dr Plasencia injected Perry with ketamine at his home and in the parking lot of the Long Beach Aquarium. Dr Plasencia taught Perry's assistant - who is also a defendant - how to administer the drug and would sell extra vials for them to keep at home, according to the plea deal. The doctor is one of five people charged with what prosecutors allege was an underground network of dealers and medical professionals who supplied Perry with ketamine. The actor was taking legal, prescribed amounts of the drug to treat his depression, but wanted more than what was total, the plea agreement says, between 30 September 2023, and 12 October 2023, Dr Plasencia sold twenty 5ml (100mg/ml) vials of ketamine, less than a full package of ketamine lozenges, and syringes to Perry and his assistant. Dr Plasencia's lawyers could not be immediately reached for comment.

Modern Family star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, 18, comes out as bisexual five years after end of iconic sitcom
Pride Month is more than halfway in the books for 2025, with a young actress using this time to come out as bisexual. Modern Family star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons - who played Lily, the adoptive daughter of Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) took to TikTok on Sunday to reveal the news. She did so in a rather humorous fashion, using the audio from a Season 4 episode of Modern Family called The Future Dunphys, where a young Lily claims she's gay. The actress shared a video of her lip-syncing to the scene where she declares, 'No I'm not, I'm gay! I'm gay!' after Gloria (Sofia Vergara) insists she's Vietnamese. Anderson-Emmons captioned the video, 'People keep joking so much abt me being being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).' She captioned the Sunday night post, 'hehe happy pride month and to all a good night,' with the hashtags #modernfamily #lily #pridemonth #pride #fyp #bi. Anderson-Emmons was just four years old when she joined Modern Family as Lily during the show's third season in 2011. The actress made history also at four years of age, when she became the youngest actor ever to win a Screen Actors Guild Award, as part of the show's ensemble cast. She also appeared as herself on Bill Nye Saves the World in 2017 and on a 2018 episode of Paradise Run. Last month, she shared a video to her 2.6 million TikTok followers that shed some light on growing up in the spotlight. 'People ask things like, "How did you know you wanted to do that when you were four? How do you know you love something when you're so young?" And the truth is, you don't,' she admitted. Aubrey insisted that she was 'not forced into anything,' adding, 'My mom wasn't like, "You're going to do this," it was not like that.' 'I was not abused on set or anything like that, but you don't know what you're getting yourself into at four years old when you sign a contract to be on a show,' she said. She also admitted that the show was basically 'all she knew' while opening up on facing harsh criticism at such a young age. 'Also, being on a TV show from a young age, people really took digs at my acting choices or they would say I'm a bad actor,' she recalled. 'I don't feel like I need to prove myself to other people... but it was really hard for me to grow up with so many people's opinions around me.' She has only appeared in a 2024 short film called Tallwinds since Modern Family went off the air, though she has been teasing new music. The actress and musician shared a snippet of what appears to be a music video, teasing, 'New music coming soon!'
