The Duchess celebrates a major milestone for her lifestyle brand as Oprah
Winfrey gives her a public nod during the Andrew and Sarah Ferguson crisis.
Meghan Markle has once again found herself at the centre of royal conversation
after sharing a new announcement that drew comparisons to her past with Oprah
Winfrey.
The Duchess of Sussex, who launched her lifestyle brand As Ever earlier this
year, revealed that one of her products has been featured in Oprah’s annual
“Favorite Things” list. The recognition came for the brand’s Signature Fruit
Spread, priced at $42, which was included in the ‘food’ category alongside
items from Kim Kardashian and Spanx founder Sara Blakely.
To mark the occasion, Meghan’s brand shared a celebratory post on social
media, writing, “We’re on @oprahdaily Oprah’s Favorite Things 2025!” She also
sent an email to subscribers, saying they were “honoured to be included in the
season’s quintessential guide to gifting.”
The moment reminded many of Meghan’s close connection with Oprah, who famously
interviewed the Duchess and her husband, the Duke of Sussex, in 2021. That
televised conversation made headlines worldwide and deeply affected the royal
household.
Oprah’s latest shoutout comes as the royal family faces fresh turmoil, with
reports suggesting Sarah Ferguson may be preparing to share her own story
following tensions over her residence at the Royal Lodge.
As Meghan celebrates her brand’s success in California, her association with
Oprah once again seems to echo through the Palace, stirring memories of a time
when the two women shook the monarchy’s foundations.
