Meghan Markle hints at permanent move to the UK as she celebrates major news

Meghan Markle is celebrating some major career news – as she's expanding her As Ever brand to the UK.

The Duchess of Sussex, 45, currently only sells products from her lifestyle business, which includes spreads, homeware, and candles, in the US. 

She previously secured trademarks in Australia, which she toured with Prince Harry back in April, though she's yet to officially start a commercial venture there.

Products such as tins of tea, candles, and bookmarks are expected to go on sale, but her jam spreads and flower sprinkles won't initially be included due to food import restrictions, The Sun reported.

Discussing the expansion, an industry source told the paper that any consumer business would "want to grow to as many markets as possible".

The Sussexes previously described their return to Britain as an "extended stay", but the new expansion could suggest they're considering more permanent roots here. 

Meghan launched As Ever in 2025, in conjunction with her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and it's since become financially independent.

It comes as Meghan and Harry are preparing for their first joint outing since returning to the UK with a visit to Nottingham on Thursday.

Meghan 'could star on small TV channel'

During her April visit to Australia, Meghan appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia, which will now air in the UK for the first time. 

The former Suits actress will return to UK TV screens on 19 October on the U&W channel, available on Freeview Channel 25.  

It was previously reported that Meghan would star in season three of Netflix's The Gentlemen alongside Theo James. 

However, counter reports suggested that discussions hadn't gone further than preliminary talks.

Discussing her MasterChef appearance, a TV insider told the Daily Mail that while Meghan would be "really happy" to be back on television, it isn't the "big return" she once imagined.

Latest on Meghan's As Ever business

When Prince Harry and Meghan returned to the UK with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet in August, it was revealed that Meghan would be continuing her As Ever line, which she began at their Montecito home in California.

Since returning to Britain, Meghan has launched a spiced apple butter for Autumn and announced a Christmas holiday collection.  

Following As Ever's split from Netflix, HELLO!'s royal editor, Emily Nash, emphasised the importance of finding "other revenue streams" and a "new market" for As Ever. 

"That's been a bit of a slow divorce," Emily said on A Right Royal Podcast previously. 

"This is a conscious uncoupling, I would say. It has been a slow burn because we sort of had this definitely had the sense that things weren't right a long time ago. So she does need to look at other revenue streams. And maybe Australia is in her new market."

Outside of As Ever, Meghan celebrated further good news this week after a sweatshirt she designed for charity sold out within a matter of hours.
