Meghan Markle’s latest career move has brought a rare and delightful surprise for fans: a glimpse of her daughter, Lilibet Diana. The young royal, rarely seen in public, appeared on Meghan’s newly relaunched lifestyle website, As Ever, as her mother prepares to debut her new Netflix series.
Since moving to California in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan have prioritized their children’s privacy. Archie and Lilibet are seldom seen in public, and even in family photos, their faces are often hidden. Last year’s Christmas card, for example, featured the children with their faces obscured, leaving fans curious about their appearance. The last time the kids were shown publicly was in the couple’s 2022 Netflix documentary, which offered a peek into their life in Montecito. Since then, the family has kept their children out of the spotlight, with Archie and Lilibet often seen wearing masks during rare outings.
Meghan’s lifestyle brand, previously known as American Riviera Orchard, has undergone a transformation and is now called As Ever. The website focuses on lifestyle, gardening, and food, reflecting Meghan’s personal interests. In a recent Instagram post, Meghan shared the story behind the rebrand. “Last year, I thought, ‘American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name.’ It’s my neighborhood, a nickname for Santa Barbara, but it felt limiting. Then Netflix came along, not just as a partner for the show but also for my business. It was a big moment. I’ve been sitting on the name ‘As Ever’ since 2022, and now felt like the right time to share it.”
The website features a charming photo of Meghan and Lilibet walking hand in hand through a field, with palm trees and the ocean in the background. Lilibet, barefoot and carefree, adds a touch of innocence to the scene. This rare glimpse of the young royal has thrilled fans, who are eager to see more of the family’s life in California.
Meghan’s new Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, is set to premiere next month, marking her return to television. The show will offer an intimate look into Meghan’s world, as she shares her love for cooking, gardening, and beekeeping. Celebrity guests, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi, and Alice Waters, will join Meghan in each episode, sharing their expertise and engaging in meaningful conversations.
Filmed in Montecito, the series captures the essence of Meghan’s life in California. However, contrary to popular belief, the show was not filmed at her and Harry’s home. Instead, the production took place at a luxurious mansion owned by their neighbors, the Cipolla family. The 4,500-square-foot estate, valued at £5 million, served as the perfect backdrop for the series, offering a blend of elegance and comfort.
As Meghan embarks on this new career chapter, fans are excited to see how she balances her professional ambitions with her role as a mother. The rare appearance of Lilibet on her website is a testament to the family’s commitment to sharing glimpses of their life while maintaining their privacy. With the premiere of With Love, Meghan just around the corner, the world is eagerly awaiting this next step in Meghan’s journey.
