Meghan Markle’s New Website + New Image… Same Old Authenticity Problem? 👀Added:
Meghan Markle has officially unveiled yet another polished new look, updated website, refreshed images, carefully curated Instagram vibes, think Pinterest 2016, and a brand new attempt to reshape her public perception. But, here's the problem. No matter how many times the packaging changes, the public keeps coming back to the exact same question.
Why does everything still feel so manufactured?
Because in 2026, audiences don't just want luxury branding. They want real. They want authenticity.
And that may still be Meghan Markle's biggest problem. In today's video, we're going to break down Meghan Markle's authenticity problem and why changing her website is not going to help. You guys, we have a lot of juicy royal daily tea to get through today. So, you know what to do. Sit back and relax. Go grab yourself a beverage and let's get into the royal daily tea.
>> [music] [music] >> Meghan Markle, y'all, is out with the old and in with the new. She has done some massive updating on her Instagram as well as on her as ever website. So, Meghan Markle unveiled a brand new profile photo today after having the same photograph on her Instagram for well over a year. Now, the new photograph, of course, another one of those professionally taken photographs because what else do we expect from Meghan Markle? She loves those carefully curated, manufactured photos because nothing screams authenticity than a professional photograph. Now perhaps Meghan is looking off to the side and she's pondering how she's going to move all of her as ever merch, which is currently rotting on the shelf. So today we're going to take a little bit of a deep dive analysis into the updates that Meghan Markle made on her as ever website and we're going to talk about what she did right, what she did wrong, and where she needs to improve because let's be frank, folks, her as ever brand is fledgling. It is honestly having a very hard time growing. We have the fact that she's got thousands of dollars up to a million dollars possibly of inventory rotting on the shelf and her silent partner, Netflix, has left the building with their pocketbook. Meghan Markle, y'all, is 100% on her own and I don't think she has a game plan. Now everyone knows that Meghan Markle wants to be a billionaire and she wants to expand as ever globally. Now she has gotten quite a few trademarks in a couple of different countries. However, all of the merch and the inventory she has presently, she cannot ship overseas to sell. So Meghan has to creatively move her merch in the United States. So the problem with Meghan Markle is she never quite established who her target market is, who her customer avatar is. She banked on the fact that she played Rachel Zane on Suits and that she married a royal prince. Not too shabby and guess what, folks? It worked. It worked for a little while where she could just say, "I played Rachel Zane. I'm a duchess. Buy my stuff." Yeah, her little fans from Suits, they ran out there. Her little fans from The Tig, they ran out there.
Those 13-year-old mythical girls saving their babysitting money cuz they want to use those jars. They went out there and bought her stuff. But now everyone is done. Meghan is not appealing to new audiences. That is the problem. Same old product, no new customers. Oopsie, we have a problem. Meghan Markle never quite understood, I believe, the place where they stand economically. She thinks in her head she is a highbrow luxury item. But maybe her customers are not quite shopping at that price point. So that is a problem out the gate. Now all of her fans, they went out and purchased the first round. But talking about eight product drops in a year, that's a lot of product to drop.
Now we have a problem with the product not moving. So Meghan Markle does what she always does and she sprinkles a little fairy dust and takes a couple of really high-end photographs thinking she's going to entice people to go over and buy her overpriced tat. So let's go ahead and take a look at Meghan Markle's brand new website. So here we have which would normally be a header banner, but Meghan Markle now has a video playing in the background with these really pretty aesthetic photos of Meghan acting like she's in her kitchen. She's going to her pantry because of course she's trying to sell the narrative that she's just like us and that Meghan uses and loves all of her own products and that you should add this to your everyday life calling them pantry essentials and we'll get into that in a moment. But again, it is very pretty. It is very aesthetically pleasing, but again, it is not authentic. It is very commercial and very manufactured.
Not quite reaching the normal folk, but again, Meghan Markle believes that she's a very highbrow person and we should all attain to be like Meghan Markle missing her target audience. So again, no more header, but instead a video.
Now you can tell that Meghan has photographed all of her products. Brand new photographs. It looks very crisp. It looks very clean. It's very, very well done. Here she's incorporating more video into her website along with her brand new photographs.
Here we have Meghan pretending that she's reaching into her pantry to get her essentials and it says enjoy every bite. Now in my personal opinion, I do not like this cursive writing that she's constantly using. I feel like it's very hard to read on print and on the screen.
But again, we're supposed to believe that Meghan's just sitting around sipping tea on an afternoon because she's such a relaxed home body person who just enjoys the little moments in life. This is what she's trying to sell the What is it called? The aesthetic soft life. Meghan's trying to do the soft life aesthetic, the rich girl quiet luxury. Again, are we buying this? I don't know. And here she is an orchard that again most people don't have backyards that look like this. So she's pretending that she's out there personally picking the fruit to make her jam. Again, I think we all know this woman doesn't cook. She doesn't even know how to hold the tongs to do canning. But alas, Meghan wants us to believe she's authentic. So here's a video to prove Meghan is out there picking fruit.
Okay. Now here we have a whole new layout of all of her products. Again, very pretty aesthetic photographs.
Again, the people who designed her website, A+. Very pretty. Again, the use of video. Here we have Meghan and she's using honey. She's making a parfait. So now we actually have a featured recipe, which has always been missing out of Meghan Markle's marketing and even on her cooking shows, a damn recipe. So let's see what Meghan has to share with us, her wisdom, her recipe. It says, Raspberry Jam and Wildflower Honey Yogurt Parfait.
Sounds good. For breakfast with the little ones. And then she basically says, raspberry spread and and honey.
So again, it's all about purchase. She couldn't even have a recipe on here. She just puts the items. Okay.
I'm going to give her a recipe.
Here she's got reviews.
Again, her adding product videos. So here we have Meghan walking in a huge orchard that none of us own saying, "Bring surprise and delight to your everyday. Explore the collection." So again, if you want to be like Meghan Markle, walking through the orchard, explore her collection. Yep. And here, you guys, is that stupid cursive again.
Your beautiful, full stop.
What does this have to do with her products? I don't quite understand.
Meghan likes to put these little educational feel-good quotes with her brand. It doesn't go with her brand, but she again likes to put her little stamp on it. But the cursive writing, in my opinion, has to go. It is just not legible. Now, Brittany from The Royal News Network pointed out that she actually originally didn't even have the apostrophe in your.
So, always finding a little mistakes.
So, let's go ahead and go through her new shop. She's got a best-seller list, which you can come in here and check out her best-sellers. Again, you got her raspberry spread, her best-selling favorite and original launch, which took 4 months to refill, by the way, when it sold out. And I like the fact that she is using roll-over images. So, she has really spent a lot of money, guys, and a lot of time photographing and updating this website. This is very expensive.
She is really trying to move the merch.
She's moving the merch, or she's trying to. Oh, she actually has an item sold out. She has the orange marmalade in keepsake packaging.
But if you notice, none of the candles sold out. Hmm, I wonder why.
Here, she's got her limited edition, again, not sold out. Not even the chocolate.
Not even the Mother's Day signature $60 chocolate has sold out. That to me signals a problem. This is a limited edition collection that Meghan was touting before Mother's Day. If you remember Serena Williams in that horrific commercial, well, yeah, it hasn't sold out, guys.
Oopsie.
Not so limited. Again, people are not rushing out to buy her overpriced chocolate. I think the newness and the excitement of Meghan Markle and her as ever brand starting to fade where during a Mother's Day holiday, her limited chocolate failed to sell out. Now, during her other chocolate drops, they all sold out. During her bookmark launch, they all sold out. But the chocolate now, it's not selling out.
This is a problem.
It's telling me the demand is not there. Now, remember we have the Archie and the Lilly candles?
Not selling out.
Again, she didn't sell out of her original candles, the one for her birthday, the one for her anniversary.
Why she decided to do two more, Lord knows, to smell like her children.
And then she has the signature scent for $256.
My goodness. Look how small that candle is.
It's small.
So, Meghan has not learned a lesson.
These are not top sellers.
She should have had this on sale. She should have a sale on her entire website, but she doesn't.
Okay?
So, let's go through That was through her some of her best sellers, okay?
Again, and nothing's really moving here.
The same old trio. Again, this has not sold out for months. She is not moving merch, guys. Those flower sprinkles, nope. The raspberry, nope.
So, let's go through gift sets. The complete as ever pantry. So, Meghan Markle is really trying to hone in that everyone in their pantry needs to have the as ever as a staple. But again, what exactly is in her kit for $300?
It's honey, jam spread, flower sprinkles, tea, and a candle.
That is not exactly a pantry staple. But she's trying to make it look like the complete as ever pantry, the heart of the as ever kitchen. But again, Meghan Markle is selling novelty items, not exactly essentials for a pantry.
And it's $300.
It's overpriced and it's not necessary.
So, here you have Meghan trying to tell people, "Look, this is what I keep in my pantry."
See, Meghan is going to go into her pantry because it's very, very valuable.
It's essential that we use this every single day.
It's not working, Meghan. People are not buying it. Again, you have flower sprinkles, raspberry spread, strawberry spread, orange marmalade, the honey duo, sage honey with honeycomb, herbal lemon herbal lemon ginger tea, herbal hibiscus tea, peppermint tea, and then the signature candles. And then you get the hot toddy mulling spice kit and a spiced cider mulling spice kit for $300.
Yikes. So, even though Meghan looks pretty in her photos and her videos, you're not convincing people that they need to buy your overpriced items. And again, even her limited items are not selling. So, Meghan Markle, you guys, has spent a pretty penny updating her website.
But, the problem is the prices are too high for the same products over and over. She keeps putting them in the go-to hostess gift.
It's the same products.
There's nothing new here. She just kind of does different combinations.
And takes new photos, but it's the same product over and over again.
Now, the other problem with Meghan is that again, it's overpriced. It's the same product over and over just in different combinations, but she doesn't give people an incentive to want to go and purchase her items. A new photograph, a new video is not going to make people want to come out here and spend $300 on your pantry or $256 for four small candles or $100 for your gifted favorites of chocolate and jam.
Meghan Markle needs to understand her consumers, what consumers are looking for, the price points, but none of this, in my personal opinion, is going to sway anybody to come here and purchase from her website.
Again, the problem with Meghan Markle is she doesn't know who her target market is.
All of her items are overpriced and it's just the same stuff over and over again.
Same stuff.
Been here for over 7-8 months.
This was during the Christmas time. That was their Christmas drop, guys. We're in May.
Yep.
Meghan Markle has a massive problem, guys, and her new website design, unfortunately for her, does not hit the mark. So, in my personal and professional opinion, Meghan Markle has done quite a few changes, updates on her Instagram. Here she brought in Lily playing peekaboo underneath the table while she's cutting lilies and little flowers because again, Meghan is getting desperate, so she's starting to bring in her children into her marketing, but that didn't work. Now she has a brand new website with a brand new picture for Instagram. Now she's doing videos showcasing her in the pantry, showing her making tea, walking through a garden, picking up fruit because we're supposed to believe that she's going to go make jam in her kitchen, but again, none of this is making people feel like they believe in Meghan, that they like Meghan, they want to buy the product. Her Mother's Day chocolate did not sell out, which was kind of surprising considering the fact her other chocolates always sold out, wink wink. But here we have the Mother's Day chocolate which was so poorly advertised by Serena Williams. So again, is the public interest in Meghan Markle and her products starting to wane even with her die-hard fans? It seems that could possibly be the case. Meghan is again a one-trick pony. She just keeps trying to put out new photos wrapping up the same product in a different concoction. She comes up with different bundles. The problem is Meghan Markle is way too expensive and people are over it. It's not exciting. It's the same thing. She's not authentic. It's very manufactured.
It's very Pinteresty 2014.
Again, people want realness. They want to buy from people they can identify with, people they like. Meghan Markle is just another rich witch living up in Montecito. And again, people don't like Meghan Markle. They have seen her. She's not authentic. This is a woman who had to go through authenticity training because she has to learn to connect with people. Meghan Markle has never been able to connect with her supposed fans or her supposed target market. So, in my personal opinion, Meghan Markle, this whole rebrand that she's doing has been a complete miss. She has missed the mark once again. Even though she has all these beautiful pictures, it's not doing anything for her brand. It's not making customers want to go and purchase from her. She has no sale, no incentive, and no authenticity.
It is just manufactured professional photographs that don't speak to her target audience. And she's not reaching new fans with the same old curated crap and the same old product that's been rotting on the shelf for over a year.
She's just putting them in creative bundles. At least put them on sale. Buy one get one free. Do what they did for Harry's book spare. Buy one, get one free. Meghan Markle, y'all, her brand is fledgling. I've said this before and I'll say it again. Meghan Markle needs to move her merch. And spending thousands of dollars on a brand new website and photographs is not helping.
Putting her stuff on sale, giving people an incentive, being more authentic would help. But she hasn't listened to anybody.
So in my opinion, this is not going to help her move merch. It was a waste of time and money. What do you guys think of Meghan Markle's brand new website? Do you think it was a good investment? And do you think it's going to help her move her merch? Leave me your comments, guys, down below. As always, I appreciate each and every one of you and I hope to see y'all in the next video. Bye, guys.
