The Duchess of Sussex is no stranger to a business venture here and there, from media productions to full-on lifestyle brands.
Before she met her now-husband Prince Harry, Meghan was dabbling in the business world. She launched her own blog, which she later deactivated in the wake of her newfound royal life.
However, since the couple moved back to the US and stepped down from their senior roles in the Royal Family, they have been embarking on new initiatives.
Most recently, Meghan launched her very own lifestyle brand selling a whole range of products from edible flowers to raspberry jam inspired by her childhood. Here, we take a look back at all of Meghan’s businesses over the years – and explore which ones are still up and running.
Meghan and Prince Harry signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix in 2020. Their first project, the docuseries Harry & Meghan, premiered in December 2022, offering an intimate look into their lives since stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family.
Another series, Live to Lead, followed later that month. However, an animated series co-produced by Meghan was cancelled before airing.
However, her relationship with the streaming giant has continued into 2025, with her solo series, With Love, Meghan, focusing on home cooking and personal insights.
The show garnered lots of attention, especially for a segment featuring Mindy Kaling, though it received mixed reviews. Despite this, it’s thought Meghan will be filming a second series thanks to fan demands.
In 2020, Meghan and Harry entered a $20 million (£ 15 million) deal with Spotify, which resulted in the Archetypes podcast, which explored stereotypes faced by women. Despite winning a People’s Choice Award, the partnership ended in 2023 after just one season.
Their relationship with Spotify soon soured, with Spotify’s Head of Podcast Innovation and Monetisation, Bill Simmons, blasting the couple.
As the Duchess of Sussex moves on from her Netflix show with her new podcast, the Mirror has launched its very own Royal WhatsApp community where you’ll get all the latest news on the UK’s most famous family.

“The f**king grifters. That’s the podcast we shoulda launched with them,” Simmons said, referring to Spotify’s cancellation of its deal with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Undeterred, Meghan partnered with Lemonada Media in 2024 to relaunch Archetypes and introduce a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. The series delves into the experiences of women entrepreneurs, with Meghan sharing her own journey in building her brand, As Ever.
Launched initially as American Riviera Orchard in 2024, Meghan’s lifestyle brand was rebranded to As Ever in 2025. The brand offers products like jams and home goods, reflecting Meghan’s passion for thoughtful living.
The rebranding faced challenges, including trademark disputes and operational hiccups. But it appears to be well received, with fans selling out the range almost immediately.
Meghan has taken a leaf out of social media influencers’ books when it comes to this business venture. The Duchess has launched her own ShopMy page, which allows her to earn commission by sharing her outfit and accessory choices with fans.
Her collection featured items from brands like Boden and Trotters, ranging in price from £50 to over £1,000. Meghan could earn thousands from the platform, which briefly experienced glitches after she shared the link on her Instagram stories.
Before her royal life, Meghan ran a lifestyle blog called The Tig from 2014 to 2017, covering topics like food, fashion, and travel. The blog was discontinued as Meghan transitioned into her royal role.
But it’s thought to have been a big inspiration for Meghan to launch her new lifestyle brand, As Ever.
