The intensity of media scrutiny surrounding her since her marriage to Prince Harry remains unmatched, yet Meghan Markle has consistently leveraged her platform to launch significant projects. With two major content deals and the highly anticipated rollout of her new lifestyle brand slated for early 2025, the Duchess is strategically positioning herself to dominate the digital and cultural landscape, solidifying her status as a powerful, independent entity.

The Duchess of Sussex’s Strategic Return: New Projects for 2025
The year 2025 is shaping up to be the most significant period for the Sussexes’ post-royal career since their relocation. The Duchess is focusing on two key pillars: content creation through their multi-million dollar Netflix deal and personal branding with a new lifestyle venture. These projects are a direct continuation of the entrepreneurial spirit she exhibited before her royal marriage.
1. Launching a New Lifestyle Brand: The Goop Rival
For months, speculation has been rife about Meghan’s return to the lifestyle space, a realm she previously explored with her successful blog, The Tig. Early 2025 marks the official launch of her new, highly-anticipated lifestyle brand. This venture is expected to cover a wide range of products and content, including home decor, food, wellness, and personal style, positioning it as a direct competitor to other celebrity-led brands. The intention is to create a curated, high-end online community that reflects the Duchess's personal tastes and values, focusing on aspirational but accessible living.
2. A Major New Netflix Series on Entertaining
In addition to the lifestyle brand, the Duchess is set to star in and produce a new Netflix series. This non-fiction show will reportedly focus on her passions for cooking, gardening, and entertaining friends and guests at her Montecito home. This project is a genius move for her personal brand, allowing her to connect with audiences on a more intimate, relatable level while simultaneously promoting the ethos and products of her new lifestyle brand. The series is part of the broader content slate under the Archewell Productions banner, demonstrating the couple's commitment to their streaming partnership.
3. Producing a New Romantic Comedy Adaptation
Further cementing their commitment to narrative content, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are also developing a new romantic comedy film for Netflix. This project is based on a popular novel, marking a shift from their previous documentary and docu-series work. This move back into scripted entertainment, particularly a genre that aligns with their global appeal, signifies a strategic expansion of their production company's portfolio and a nod to Meghan's roots in acting and storytelling.
4. Humanitarian Recognition in New York City
In October 2025, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are scheduled to travel to New York City to be presented with the Humanitarians of the Year Award by Project Healthy Minds. This high-profile recognition underscores their ongoing commitment to mental health advocacy and philanthropy through the Archewell Foundation. Such public appearances and awards serve to reinforce their global humanitarian image, contrasting with the more commercial aspects of their media deals.
Why Meghan Markle Remains a Global Authority 'As Ever'
The phrase "Meghan Markle as ever" is frequently used by commentators to describe her consistent ability to remain relevant, navigate intense media scrutiny, and emerge with new, high-value projects. Her power lies in her unique position as a former royal, a successful actress, and a modern entrepreneur.
The Archewell Ecosystem and Topical Authority
The Archewell umbrella—which includes the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions—is the central pillar of her topical authority. The foundation focuses on critical issues like gender equality, online safety, and mental health, giving the Duchess a serious and credible platform. The production arm, meanwhile, allows her to control her narrative and produce content that aligns with her values, such as the documentary series Harry & Meghan and the now-concluded Spotify podcast, Archetypes. This multi-pronged approach ensures she is discussed not just as a celebrity, but as a thought leader and producer.
Mastering the Narrative (and the Paparazzi)
Since stepping back from senior royal duties, the Duchess of Sussex has taken a hands-on approach to managing her public image. By choosing to launch her new projects—the lifestyle brand and Netflix series—from her California base, she is setting the terms of engagement with the media. This control over her professional output is a powerful tool in counteracting negative press cycles. Her consistency in focusing on her family life with Prince Harry, Archie, and Lilibet, while simultaneously building a business empire, is the essence of the "as ever" sentiment: relentless pursuit of her goals.
A Consistent Style and Brand Identity
Meghan’s personal style is an integral part of her brand. Her fashion choices—often featuring sustainable brands and high-street pieces mixed with designer wear—are meticulously tracked and widely influential. Her aesthetic, which blends California casual with tailored elegance, is the visual foundation for her upcoming lifestyle brand. The consistent projection of a polished, aspirational, and globally-aware identity is a key driver of her enduring marketability and her ability to launch new ventures with built-in global interest.
In conclusion, the Duchess of Sussex is not merely returning to the spotlight; she is architecting a sophisticated, multi-platform media and commerce ecosystem. The 2025 slate of projects—from the intimate, aspirational Netflix series to the launch of her lifestyle brand and high-profile humanitarian work—demonstrates a clear, focused strategy. Meghan Markle, "as ever," continues to be a defining figure of the modern media age, turning global fascination into powerful, profitable, and purpose-driven enterprises.
