Meghan Markle Unveils Luxurious New Kitchen in As Ever Promotion

Meghan Markle has offered a peek into a luxurious new kitchen as part of a promotional post for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The Duchess of Sussex shared an image on the brand's official Instagram page, showing her in a chic cooking area featuring oak cabinets, marble countertops, and a stainless steel cooker.

The post hinted at upcoming surprises for the holiday season, stating, "The season of giving is almost here, and we have a few surprises in store." While the exact location of the photograph was not confirmed, fans have speculated it was taken in the couple's Cotswolds home, where they relocated from California in August.

The image depicts Meghan standing before wooden shelves adorned with a large chopping board, candles, and decorative ceramic dishes. Two small jars of As Ever jam and the brand's Mulling Spice Kits were also visible on display. The kitchen's design includes a silver wall-mounted tap and a pale wooden extractor fan, contributing to its modern yet luxurious farmhouse aesthetic.

Meghan, who has previously expressed her love for cooking, appeared smiling in the photo, wearing a checkered skirt. A plated tart was visible to her left, with a navy blue mixing bowl on the hob.

This glimpse into her home follows recent ventures for her As Ever brand. Last week, Meghan launched a limited-edition advent calendar in collaboration with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The calendar, priced at $148 (£112), features 24 chocolates and is inspired by her former Montecito home.

In preparation for the holiday season, As Ever also shared Meghan's hosting tips, emphasizing the importance of having tasks prepped in advance and suggesting a simple final step to complete upon guests' arrival. The brand noted that "A little preparation goes a long way toward making hosting feel effortless."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have recently been in the news regarding security concerns. Their spokesperson condemned what they called "extraordinarily reckless" international paparazzi who were observed looking into their children's school grounds. The couple is awaiting a decision on whether they will receive taxpayer-funded security.
