Meghan Markle and Netflix announce shocking news about their partnership
Los Angeles, California - Netflix has officially cut ties with Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand As Ever.
News of the split broke on Friday, with sources telling People that the 44-year-old's brand will now operate "independently."
The streamer spoke highly of Meghan and said it was "always intended" for the Duchess of Sussex to take the brand into the next stages on her own.
"It's a really exciting time for As Ever, and Meghan is building with her team and enjoying the creative fulfillment that comes with creating a brand that's so close to the life she authentically lives," a spokesperson for the brand said.
"This year is really about establishing the brand and scaling it."
The wife of Prince Harry launched As Ever in connection with her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
Insiders revealed in January that the show, which saw Meghan share her best lifestyle tips, would not be returning for a third season. Instead, the series is said to be returning as a season special for the streamer.
The latest update in Meghan's partnership with Netflix comes after she and Harry did not renew their initial contract with the streaming service and instead now have a "first look" deal, which allows Netflix to only pay for content that it wants to release.
Harry and Meghan, who moved to California in 2020 after stepping down as working members of the British royal family, have released several projects with Netflix, including a bombshell docuseries in 2022.
