Meghan Markle Reflects on a Year of 'New Adventures' With Family in New Emotional Message
Meghan Markle reflects on a year of change in her holiday message, subtly hinting at the new adventures awaiting her and Prince Harry in the U.K.
Since Meghan Markle moved to the U.K., she has largely stayed out of the spotlight. However, in a recent message, the Duchess has quietly reflected on this new chapter with Prince Harry and their two children, offering a brief glimpse of what lies ahead for the family.
Markle penned a note featured in the 2026 holiday catalog for her lifestyle brand, As ever. While she didn't directly address the family's relocation, her words appeared to hint at the big change she, Prince Harry, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet have experienced after spending six years in California.
The former actress wrote, “This year has reminded me how much joy can be found in the moments that make up a life.” She continued, “Evening snuggles with my children. Harvest baskets gathered for friends. Travel and adventure, time in the garden, building this business and sketching away at all the details, both big and small. A summer filled with laughter, wine and melting ice cream cones, followed by an autumn of new adventures.”
“All of it has mattered. All of it has felt meaningful.”
Reflecting on the holiday season, Markle said it is about celebrating special occasions while appreciating the little things. She noted that it is a time for loved ones to come together, enjoy hands-on activities, put thought into sharing meals, and show their affection through thoughtful gestures. “This collection was created in that same spirit, with pieces to share, savor, gift, and make part of your own traditions.”
As the year ended, the entrepreneur also thanked customers for welcoming As Ever into their homes and making the brand part of their everyday moments and celebrations. She signed off the note with, “As ever, Meghan.”
The Holiday collection features several festive additions, including an Advent calendar inspired by Markle and Harry's Montecito home, a candle, gift baskets, a card set, and chocolates. Later releases also included homeware pieces such as a porcelain teapot, matching teacup and saucer, coasters, and a leather notebook.
Despite the family's move to the U.K., the Duchess will continue overseeing As Ever from overseas. Her other ventures, including Archewell Productions and the charitable organization Archewell Philanthropies, will remain based in the United States.
