The Duchess of Sussex has kept fans looped through the Instagram Stories feature of her personal account @meghan, which she unveiled on Jan. 1 and has used since to highlights from her life.
Speaking to PEOPLE in this week’sexclusive cover story, Meghan says, “When I was last on social media, Boomerang was the thing,” she says, laughing. “Instagram Stories didn’t even exist. So it’s been a minute.”
Despite the excitement around her return to Instagram — where her two million followers analyze everything from her outfits to the plates she uses — Meghan doesn’t identify as an influencer, either.
“I see myself as an entrepreneur and a female founder, and if the brand ends up influential, then that’s great,” she tells PEOPLE about her As ever venture.

In February, the Duchess of Sussex announced that she was renaming her lifestyle company initially launched as American Riviera Orchard in 2024 to As ever in order to offer a wider range of products. The collection will include herbal teas (lemon ginger, peppermint and hibiscus), crepe mix, flower sprinkles “for beautifying meals and sweet treats,” shortbread butter cookies with flower sprinkles, limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb and her signature raspberry jam in keepsake packaging.
The line will be available for sale this spring onasever.comin the U.S., and viewers saw Meghan frequently reach for the flower sprinkles when preparing sweets and treats in theWith Loveseries.
