As the year 2025 approaches its end, Meghan Markle is likely reflecting on a busy year filled with both successes and setbacks in her business ventures and personal endeavors. Despite her active engagement throughout the year, not all her initiatives yielded positive outcomes.
March marked a significant period for Meghan with the launch of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and the premiere of the first season of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan. The release of her initial As Ever products, notably her popular jams, quickly sold out after hitting the market.
However, the debut season of her Netflix program faced criticism from TV reviewers who labeled it as ‘exhausting’ and ‘sensationally absurd’. The show focused on various hostess activities like cooking, baking, and gardening, intending to share Meghan’s personal tips while emphasizing playfulness and creativity in everyday life.
Despite the lukewarm reception of her TV series, Meghan persisted with her As Ever brand, launching new products such as honey, baking mixes, tea, and later expanding into the wine industry.
In April, Meghan introduced her second podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, consisting of eight episodes. She announced a hiatus from the podcast to focus on her other business ventures.
In a notable event in October, Meghan attended Paris Fashion Week to support her friend and Balenciaga’s new Creative Director. Her presence at the event sparked attention as it marked her first visit to mainland Europe in three years.
Throughout the year, Meghan engaged in charitable activities, including participation in World Mental Health Day in New York with Prince Harry and attending Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington D.C.
Despite facing challenges, Meghan launched the second season of her Netflix show in August and aired a special holiday episode in December. However, similar to the first season, the sequel received negative reviews and failed to secure a spot in Netflix’s top-viewed shows list.
Meghan encountered social media controversies during the year, including sharing a controversial video and attending a high-profile event on a significant day. Towards the end of the year, she faced personal distress as her estranged father underwent a serious health issue.
Despite the challenges, Meghan remains dedicated to her various ventures and charitable work alongside Prince Harry, setting the stage for another eventful year in 2026.
