Meghan Markle

The year has got off to a productive start for Meghan Markle. Not only is her reality show, With Love, Meghan, about to air in March (after being delayed from its original start date of January), but she has also rebranded her lifestyle company and dropped hints about the exciting plans to come via her relaunched Instagram page.
Now, Meghan’s followers have been given a rare glimpse into her goals for the year.

Her latest post on Instagram shows Meghan’s vision board with cards, notes and pictures pinned to it. She accompanied the picture with a simple caption that read ‘from memory lane to the memories I’m making…’

The board is filled with heartfelt messages, motivational quotes, and achievements. We’ve aways known Meghan is determined – just take the success of her acting career on Suits – but the post gives us rare insight into her new aspirations. On the board, there are several tributes to Meghan’s beloved beagle, Guy, who passed away in January this year. One card shows an illustration by Connecticut artist Jennifer Vallez of her and Harry, on a walk, with Guy. Another tribute shows a picture of Meghan with Guy, surrounded by a collage of flowers and gardens.

This comes after Meghan recently shared an emotional tribute to Guy on her website page, As Ever, with a photo of her pouring honey over a croissant that is set on a decorated table in a grassy outdoor space. You can just about make out Guy looking at the food.

Alongside the tributes, there are several other romantic and inspirational messages on the board. One hilarious card reads ‘I love you with all my butt. I would say heart but my butt is bigger.’ Another says ‘You cannot make everybody happy. You are not a jar of Nutella,’ while a third motivational message reads ‘Not to spoil your ending, but everything is going to be ok.’ Some of the more serious messages on the pinboard read ‘stay close to people who feel like sunshine’ and happiness looks gorgeous on you.’

Another momento that appears on the vision board is a white card with black calligraphy writing, Meghan’s signature, which appears to be a menu. ‘Farm fresh eggs, carrots two ways, sweet treats,’ the menu says.

The board also includes a black and white photograph of Meghan and Alice Waters, who appears in her new reality show, With Love, Meghan. Alice is famous for its role in creating the farm-to-table movement and for pioneering California cuisine. There is a nod to California, where Meghan and Harry live, on the board, with a State Route 33 sign.

The board also contains a reference to Meghan’s rebrand of her lifestyle company, with the renamed ‘As Ever’ logo woven into the fabric. This comes just days after Meghan officially changed the brand’s name to As Ever from American Riviera Orchard and launched its website.

‘The vision board also contains heartfelt nods to Meghan’s children’

She recently took to Instagram to announce to her 1.8 million followers that her relaunched lifestyle brand will draw parallels with her blogging days on The Tig. Revealing in her post that Netflix has partnered with her in her business, Meghan went on to write in her caption, ‘Some of you may have heard whispers about what I’ve been creating. In two weeks, my series on @netflix launches – but there’s something else I’ve been working on. I’m thrilled to introduce you to As Ever – a brand that I created and have poured my heart into. “As ever” means “as it’s always been” or some even say “in the same way as always”.’

Meghan continued ‘If you’ve followed along since my days of creating The Tig, you’ll know this couldn’t be truer for me. This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish – food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday. I will keep sharing behind the scenes tidbits with you here as we ramp up to launch, and I can’t wait for you to get your hands on everything we’ve been creating. Sending lots of love…’. She signed off, ‘As Ever, Meghan’.

Meghan has also appeared to pay tribute to Prince Harry through her lifestyle page’s branding, according to PEOPLE. The logo incorporates a palm tree as a nod to the Duke and Duchess’s home in California, along with two hummingbirds – a favourite of Prince Harry’s, an insider said, continuing ‘The distinct shape enclosing the birds and tree was intentionally designed to create a unique and personal emblem.’ Prince Harry has previously opened up about the significance of the Hummingbird towards the end of his memoir Spare after the death of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, where he spoke about how the bird is interpreted as a symbol of spirits in some cultures.

Of course, the vision board also contains heartfelt nods to Meghan’s children – 5-year-old Archie and 3-year-old Lilibet. There’s a green star featuring Prince Archie’s name in blue ink, which could have been created by Archie himself, alongside a photo of a playful face pancake.

Meghan is usually private about her children, but she recently shared a clip of her holding Lilibet on the As Ever website. The clip features an image of Lilibet running outside with her mother, surrounded by beautiful nature.

The display also features a series of travel photographs from Meghan’s days running The Tig website. Megan launched The Tig in 2014, on which she interviewed celebrities, talked about fashion and opened up about her early life and career as an actress. She closed the site in April 2017, months before her engagement to Prince Harry.

This all comes at a pivotal time for Meghan’s career. On the 4th March, her reality show, With Love, Meghan, will finally launch after it was delayed by wildfires that raged through Southern California. From the teaser, it’s clear that Meghan will be exploring her love of cooking, gardening and hosting alongside a range of expert guests and friends. ‘We’re not in pursuit of perfection, we’re in pursuit of joy,’ she says in the clip. ‘Love is in the details.’

She’s also determined for her lifestyle brand to take off. Alongside rebranding, Meghan inaugurated American Riviera Orchard last spring, sending 50 jars of prestigious strawberry jam to her friends to coincide with the launch.

While we can’t predict what the year has in store for Meghan, one thing’s for sure – if she continues with the same gusto she’s started 2025 with, it’s sure to be an impressive one.
