Meghan Markle is reportedly gearing up to publish a cookbook in early 2026 as part of the continued expansion of her As Ever lifestyle brand, a move that insiders say will package her Netflix lifestyle persona into a product line for paying customers. The reports come from several outlets tracking her pivot from occasional forewords and Netflix episodes into a full-blown commercial venture that will, according to sources, include recipes, hosting tips, and lifestyle tie-ins. This is not charity work dressed up as humility; it is a billionaire-adjacent branding play dressed as domestic charm.
The cookbook is said to build on Meghan’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan, where she already showcased an airbrushed version of entertaining, preserving, and small-batch jam culture that appeals to a very specific coastal taste. Meghan’s earlier involvement with community cookbook projects and a foreword to Together: Our Community Cookbook are often cited to provide a veneer of goodwill, but the new project looks like a far more lucrative, tightly curated product tied directly to her media platform. Americans should ask whether this is genuine community uplift or a marketing funnel for celebrity goods.
Conservative commentators aren’t buying the narrative of authenticity, and clips from mainstream conservative media have not been kind. On Megyn Kelly’s program, guest commentators like Link Lauren ripped into the self-aggrandizing tone of Meghan’s lifestyle crusade, even coining wry lines that capture the absurdity of a luxury influencer teaching everyday home economics. That snark — summed up in a line likening the cookbook to taking driver’s ed from Ray Charles — reflects a broader skepticism on the right that Meghan’s projects are performative rather than practical.
Look beyond the glossy photos and you’ll see the pattern that now defines many celebrity brands: package privilege, sell it to aspirational consumers, and call it empowerment. Conservatives should resist the rush to envy; the culture of curated living pushes ordinary Americans to chase boutique versions of ordinary tasks while real makers and family-run diners get squeezed. If Meghan wants to help communities, real investments and sustainable jobs matter far more than a seasonal cookbook tour and influencer cross-promotion.
Reports also note that Meghan’s brand has already sold lifestyle products — jam and cookie kits among them — that feed the same machine that a cookbook would. That commercial success only proves the point: celebrity cachet can be monetized into luxury domesticity, and the public ends up underwriting an expensive ode to elite leisure. Ordinary families would be better served by supporting local grocers, veteran-run restaurants, and honest small businesses instead of buying into a celebrity’s packaged image of home life.
Patriots who love this country should call out the phony populism of celebrity entrepreneurs who market lifestyle as virtue. We respect hard work, community, and humility — values stretched thin by a culture that elevates stars selling curated comfort from ocean-view kitchens. If Meghan wants to be a real force for good, she can do it without turning empathy into a subscription model; until then, skeptical Americans should keep their wallets and their values intact.
