Meghan Markle Forced To Compensate Customers Following A Significant Blunder In Her Food Line

by Damjan

Launching a brand today means facing everything from technical glitches to soaring consumer expectations. When a public figure steps into entrepreneurship, every move is under intense scrutiny.

Even a tiny misstep can spark a whirlwind of reaction, but it also shows how someone handles setbacks. That’s precisely what happened to Meghan Markle after she unveiled her new label, As Ever.

Less than a week after launching her lifestyle brand, the Duchess of Sussex encountered a technical hiccup. In response, Meghan issued an apology to customers and offered refunds to those affected.

Her luxury food and drink line, called As Ever, had been long anticipated after several delays. When the brand finally debuted, it showcased a variety of premium products, including limited-edition wildflower honeycomb ($28) and herbal tea blends ($12 each). Other offerings included a crepe mix and shortbread cookies adorned with flower sprinkles, priced at $14.

The brand’s website greeted visitors with a personal touch. "What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your everyday," the site declared. Meghan, who became known as a lifestyle connoisseur after her stint on Suits, appeared eager to share her latest venture.

However, overwhelming demand led to unexpected complications. Within an hour of the site going live, the entire inventory sold out, with the limited-edition honey being the first to disappear.

Unfortunately, some customers who placed orders were later informed that their purchases had already sold out, despite their payments going through. The company quickly sent out emails explaining the situation.

According to the message, the heavy web traffic had caused a glitch on the backend, leading to overselling. As a remedy, affected customers were promised a full refund along with a complimentary As Ever item of their choice.

The Duchess had to provide refunds.

"The excitement created a volume of traffic on the site that even we couldn’t have anticipated," the message read. "We are working on replenishing inventory and will gladly send you an item of your choosing to thank you for your understanding."

The limited‑edition honey sold out almost immediately.

Meghan also addressed the issue directly on Instagram. In her post, she expressed gratitude for her supporters and apologized for the unexpected glitch.

"I was so sorry to hear about what happened with your order," she wrote. "The team worked very hard in every department, and felt just as sad when we learned what had happened."

She promised a personal touch to make up for the inconvenience. “When our next limited-edition item drop happens, you won't just be the first to know—you'll be the first to receive it,” she assured her followers. “No need to order, it will come to you in the mail as a gift from me.”

As Ever’s rocky start hasn’t dimmed Meghan’s excitement for what lies ahead. She’s genuinely grateful for everyone’s patience and has already begun planning the next limited‑edition drop, complete with thoughtful extras and personal touches.

She insists that this early hiccup is just the beginning of a learning curve, not a setback. Loyal customers can look forward to new products arriving in their mailboxes as gifts, plus a steady stream of curated goodies designed to surprise and delight.
