As he introduced the Hollywood news segment, LA correspondent Ross King sprung a surprise with what he termed "shocking news". The conversation steered towards Meghan's decision to scale back on the products she had earlier marketed this year. Initiating the topic with a light-hearted reference, he said, "Let's not mention jam, let's say it was spread," referring to the Duchess's popular jams that were snapped up within minutes upon their debut. Making a playful jest, he added: "Meghan Markle spread... That in itself sounds somewhat ruder than I thought it was going to be." Ross then remarked on the secrecy surrounding the exact number of jars sold by noting: "Well done, she sold out, but here is the bit of sad news that I bring to the world this morning."

He mocked the idea that the news wasn't too surprising and delved into Meghan hinting at switching path from jam production. The April release of Meghan's As Ever range was immensely successful, selling out in just 45 minutes and featured items including jams, honey, and herbal teas. However, in her podcast's last episode, Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan disclosed her intentions to "step back, gather data from the launch, and figure out exactly what As Ever could be." She elaborated on her future aspirations saying: "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." The Duchess of Sussex recently entered the business world with her brand, As Ever (Image: Getty Images ) "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." When questioned about the possibility of venturing into a clothing line, Meghan expressed her interest, stating: "Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an interesting space for me." As reported by Fast Company, Meghan also shared her uncertainty about defining her professional identity, saying, "If I had to write a résumé, I don't know what I would call myself." On her As Ever website, products like the $12 Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea and $15 Flower Sprinkles have sold out, alongside other items such as shortbread and crepe mixes. However, the website hints at future offerings with a "more coming soon" message. Article continues below Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and ITVX.

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.

Meghan Markle shares sweet video of Lilibet's American accent for first time
Meghan Markle fans heard her daughter Lilibet's accent for the first time in a new video posted by the Duchess of Sussex. Markle was back in the kitchen on Saturday, making jam with the daughter that she shares with Prince Harry when she asked for the three-year-old's thoughts. 'What do you think, Lili?' Markle asked Lilibet, whose face was not shown, about the boiling pot of fruit. In the background of the clip, fans heard Lilibet's American accent for the first time, as she responded: 'I think it's beautiful.' Although Lilibet's face was hidden, her hands were spotted stirring up fruit in a pot. Lilibet's take on the jam comes almost a month after Meghan launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever. Along with her iconic jams, Meghan's business sells Limited-Edition Wildflower Honey with Honeycomb, Herbal Lemon Ginger Tea, Herbal Hibiscus Tea, and Herbal Peppermint Tea. However, none of the items are available anymore, since everything sold out in the hour after the website launched. Meghan and her husband have largely shielded Lilibet, who was born in 2021, from the public eye. However, the royal has recently shared a few special moments with her daughter on social media. When announcing the relaunch of her brand, which was previously named American Riviera Orchard, in February, Meghan included a photo of her and Lilibet on the company's website. In the image, Lilibet is holding her mother's hand, in matching all-white outfits as they run across a lawn with trees, with the Pacific Ocean in the background. Last month, the Suits star shared a video of Lilibet and Archie making a Valentine's Day treat. The clip on Instagram began with a close-up shot of Meghan cutting strawberries into a heart shape. Accompanied by the Nat King Cole track 'L-O-V-E,' Lilibet can be seen in the shot helping her mother before the treat is brought over to Archie. When she announced her new lifestyle brand name, she also shared a video of herself in her family's garden. Harry could be heard saying, 'It's recording' in the background as Meghan said, 'The cat's out of the bag.' 'Last year, I had thought, 'American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name.' It's my neighborhood; it's a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area,' she said. Previously, the Duchess experienced issues regulating American Riviera Orchard, as she sought to trademark the brand in the summer of 2024, which was rejected last August.
