Meghan Markle has reportedly severed ties with Netflix amid considerations that it was “holding her brand, As Ever, back.” The 44-year-old will now take “complete control” of her model, which she formally launched in April 2025.
The streaming platform turned a accomplice of As Ever last 12 months, with the model launching alongside the release of the first sequence of With Love, Meghan. According to insiders, the 44-year-old former Royal is relieved to be “going it alone,” and has reportedly expressed considerations that she was being “held back” by “cautious” Netflix.
The latest development comes just months after it was revealed that Netflix wouldn’t be releasing more episodes of With Love, Meghan, with the second sequence launched in August 2025. A Christmas episode was also launched in December.
Despite the “split,” Meghan is said to be “on good terms” with Netflix chief Ted Sarandos, The Sun has reported.
A source has said, “Meghan is still on good terms with the Netflix team and close personal friends with Ted (Sarandos), so hasn’t wanted to upset him, but is very happy to have full control of the company,” reviews the Express.

“It’s a good time for Meghan to have complete control, given recent successes. Netflix has been a good partner, but she’s wanted to go global with the brand for some time, but has been held back by the more cautious Netflix team.”
Meghan and Harry reportedly keep their “first-look deal” with the streaming service, with further tasks in the works.
The lifestyle model based by the previous actress sells artisanal merchandise like candles, tea units, home decor, and more. The As Ever web site states, “What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your everyday.”

With As Ever at present only promoting merchandise in the US, plans are in place to broaden into other components of the world, including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

A consultant for Meghan acknowledged: “As ever, we are grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year. We have experienced meaningful, rapid growth, and, as ever, it is now ready to stand on its own. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.”
