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'.

Meghan Markle breaks silence on ‘baby mama dance' after hospital twerking vid sparked wild conspiracy theories
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MEGHAN Markle has broken her silence on her cringey twerking video after it sparked wild conspiracy theories. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, posted the footage earlier this month showing her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room as she tried to induce daughter Lilibet's birth in 2021. 5 Meghan has hit back against conspiracy theorists claiming that her video was fake Credit: Youtube 5 Conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real Credit: Instagram 5 She called on people to 'tell the truth' about her Credit: Youtube But conspiracy theorists bizarrely claimed that Meghan's bump was not real, suggesting she was wearing a prosthetic pregnant belly in the clip. Now, almost a fortnight after sharing the 80-second video with her three million followers on Instagram, the ex-Suits actress has defended her decision to post the personal footage. She called on people to "tell the truth" about her and claimed that the video was a chance for her to share behind the scenes of her "authentic" life. Speaking on Dragon's Den star Emma Grede on the entrepreneur's Aspire podcast, she said: "You have to be authentic. "Did you see my "Baby Momma" dance? That wasn't yesterday, that was four years ago. "It's a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life - a real, authentic, fun life - that's happening behind the scenes. "I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms." The footage - released to celebrate Lilibet's fourth birthday on June 3 - showed heavily pregnant Meghan making rowing movements and shimmying her shoulders beside the hospital bed. Prince Harry also shuffles into view in a hoodie to the strains of then-viral pregnancy hit The Baby Momma Dance. Podcast host Emma, founding partner of SKIMS and CEO of Good American, admitted she was shocked to see Prince Harry dancing in the video. She joked: "We maybe watched it like 20 times yesterday. "I was like, is that Prince Harry there with the fingers? I was like, okay, Meghan and Harry, let's go. "But that's you, right? That's you in a way that we kind of haven't been able to see you before." Emma Grede's Aspire episode with Meghan is set to air today. She posted it on the social media platform alongside the caption: "Four years ago today, this also happened. "Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work - there was only one thing left to do!" But it was slammed by royal experts as cringey and "hard to watch". Meghan's twerking video was so cringey it was like parody, but it did exactly what she wanted Commmentator Ingrid Seward accused The Sussexes of invading their own privacy. She told The Sun: 'They can do what they like but why put it online? "Does Meghan have no boundaries? I think it's vulgar, unnecessary, attention-seeking. 'They make such a point about privacy and security and then they put stuff out there. Meghan can't resist putting it out there. 'I think it's completely hypocritical for everything she stands for. It's very embarrassing.' Meghan's comments came after she shared a rare personal video showing Archie and Lilibet to wish Harry a happy Father's Day. The compilation showed photos and videos of Harry laughing, dancing and spending time with his children through the years. Her Father's Day tribute to husband Harry followed the same pattern with the clips of her kids featuring the back of their heads only. 5 The video was slammed by royal experts as cringey and 'hard to watch' Credit: Youtube

Sofia Richie breaks silence on claims husband Elliot Grainge cheated on her after birth of first child
Sofia Richie has broken silence on claims that her husband Elliot Grainge cheated on her. The media personality, 26 - who recently enjoyed a rare family outing with Grainge and their baby girl - addressed the viral allegations by sharing a clip to her TikTok account. She was joined by the record executive, 31, as they read through comments about him allegedly having an affair. The mom-of-one filmed herself listening to Grainge as he listed some of the 'mean' comments as he laid next to her on a bed. 'Get that coin, sis,' Elliot read out loud, prompting Sofia to let out a small laugh. He then continued with, 'Why wouldn't she want to be single again?' and 'They got married?' Another was, 'She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money.' As Richie laughed once again while her husband read the comment, Grainge quietly added to his wife, 'Don't do that Soph.' Elliot then read another and said, 'That? Cheating on her?' - causing them both to agree the comment was 'mean.' Sofia panned the camera back to her and after a few moments passed, her husband questioned, 'What am I? Shrek?' In the caption of the post, the daughter of Lionel Richie penned to her followers: 'I had to break it to my husband that he's not the peoples princess.' Social media users jumped to the comment section on the star's TikTok to offer their support to the couple. One penned, 'Best way to silence haters,' while another typed, 'Changing my dating app bio to "looking for an Elliot Grainge."' 'People honestly forgot how hurtful the things they say can be. That's terrible, poor dude,' a fan wrote. One shared, 'NOW this is a way that we should be clearing up rumors every single time. I love this,' and another added, 'Never doubted this man! He loves her, people are weird.' 'Real ones love Elliot and know he treats you like a queen,' one TikTok user penned, which also garnered a like from Sofia. Another was, 'She already secured the baby. Sofia has a rich dad as well, she should divorce him and take his child support money' As Richie laughed once again as her husband read the comment, Grainge then quietly added to his wife, 'Don't do that Soph' 'People honestly forgot how hurtful the things they say can be. That's terrible, poor dude,' a fan wrote A fan commented, 'What a way to respond,' while one added, 'Ugh please let this type of love attack me.' Back in 2021, it was confirmed that Sofia was dating Elliot - who is the son of CEO of Universal Music Group Lucian Grainge. The following year, he popped the big question during a romantic proposal during a getaway to Hawaii. In April 2023, Sofia walked down the aisle and the couple said 'I do' during a ceremony that took place in the south of France. The nuptials went viral on social media when the beauty launched her TikTok only days before the big day - and drew massive attention for its 'quiet luxury.' During an interview with L'Officiel, the star opened up about the following she garnered not long after joining TikTok. She currently boasts nearly 4 million followers on TikTok, and 11 million on Instagram. 'I've never expected to get any positive feedback from social media,' she told the outlet. 'My happiness doesn't depend on social media feedback, and I feel like I protected my mental health in that way throughout the years of being in the spotlight.' Sofia added, 'It was shocking for me to see such positive feedback, and it really put a smile on my face. It made me feel like, "Wow, there are kind people out there."' When it comes to using her social media accounts - especially TikTok - the star explained, 'I truly try to stay true to myself and my brand, and I honestly use TikTok like I'm talking to my friends. I'm just having fun. 'I don't want people to feel like I'm leading them to buy everything under the moon because I'm getting paid.' And while talking to Who What Wear in 2023, she reflected on launching her TikTok page to document the days leading up to her wedding. 'My friends were like, "How cool would it be if you started a TikTok and showed people in real time what was happening?" I thought, "You know what? That's so refreshing, and that's a great idea."' Sofia then jokingly revealed, 'I actually feel like a grandma on TikTok. Fun fact: I don't even know how to edit a video.' The star later expressed, 'The content that I created around my wedding was organic, and I wasn't pushing anything or hiding anything waiting for a magazine to publish. I was just being myself and letting people live through it with me in real time.' Sofia has been keeping busy and recently jumped to Instagram shortly after addressing the cheating allegations. Both she and Elliot recently enjoyed a getaway to the French Riviera to attend a wedding. Their baby girl Eloise - who celebrated her first birthday last month in May - also joined her parents for the trip Richie uploaded a series of snaps, including one where she and her husband were dressed to the nines and shared a loving kiss underneath the warm sunshine. The star wore a sleeveless, vibrant blue gown that was held up with halter-styled straps and Grainge sported a classic black tuxedo. Their baby girl Eloise - who celebrated her first birthday last month in May - also joined her parents for the trip. Sofia shared additional pictures that were taken over Father's Day weekend as they spent time at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where both she and Elliot tied the knot two years earlier.
