Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been making waves in Hollywood. Since taking a step back from her royal duties, she’s recently created waves in the consumer product space. In our recent interview with Fast Company, she acknowledged the public’s understandable fascination with her unique aesthetic. Her remarks suggested she has plans to soon enter a new and thrilling adventure into the fashion world. This announcement comes even as her new projects have slowed significantly. She’s most recently produced the Netflix original series “With Love, Meghan,” and let loose her consumer products line, As Ever.
She initially captured the world’s imagination through her go-getter metier with the award-winning Spotify podcast Archetypes, which launched in 2022. The podcast shifted society’s view of women and empowered women by making every episode a rich conversation among powerful women. Meghan just wrapped up her podcast series Confessions of a Female Founder, which has helped to raise her profile and solidify her voice with female entrepreneurs.
New Ventures Gain Popularity
The Netflix series With Love, Meghan has quickly captured global audiences, showcasing Markle’s multifaceted career as an entrepreneur and content creator. Released alongside her new consumer products brand As Ever, the series aims to connect with viewers on a personal level while highlighting her journey since leaving royal life.
During her podcast, Markle opened up about her style choices and what they have done to affect her. She noted that her style has evolved over time, stating, “It changed everything in terms of how I then looked at putting an outfit together.” Her impact as a style icon cannot be overstated. She connects deeply with designers, actively supporting the ones she has solid relationships with and championing smaller, emerging brands.
A New Chapter in Fashion
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has teased plans to make an impact within the fashion industry. Earlier this year, she launched a shopping edit page that garnered attention for its curated selection of items reflecting her aesthetic. In her interview, she expressed interest in exploring the fashion category further: “The category of fashion is something I will explore at a later date, because I do think that’s an interesting space for me.”
She used her wardrobe to make a statement. Through and by utilizing her platform, she is making active efforts to acknowledge designers who tend to fly under the radar of the mainstream. “Times where I know there is a global spotlight, and attention will be given to each detail of what I may or may not be wearing, then I support designers that I have really great friendships with, and smaller, up-and-coming brands that haven’t gotten the attention that they should be getting,” Markle stated.
Commitment to Philanthropy
From entertainment to high fashion, Markle proves she’s a triple threat. She’s extremely passionate about philanthropy through The Archewell Foundation, which she co-created with Prince Harry. The foundation’s mission is to drive charitable efforts of “showing up and doing good” in communities across the globe. This commitment amplifies her commitment to use her platform to influence positive change, all while building her entrepreneurial dream.
