Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently shared a peek into her creative world, and fans were quick to notice a heartwarming detail.
In a post on Instagram, she showcased her mood board—an artistic collage of images, quotes, and materials that inspire her latest venture.
Among the carefully curated elements, one particular piece stood out: a handmade green tie-dyed paper star with the name “Archie” written boldly in black ink, decorated with doodles and swirls.
This sweet addition is believed to be a creation from her five-year-old son, Prince Archie Harrison.
Fans Spot Archie’s Artwork
Eagle-eyed royal fans were delighted by the personal touch on Meghan’s board. One user on X (formerly Twitter) gushed, “Aww, look at Prince Archie’s drawing!! I can’t.”
Alongside the star, there was also a whimsical image of a pancake with a face, hinting at playful moments shared with her children, Prince Archie and three-year-old Princess Lilibet.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has highlighted her children’s creativity—just last week, she posted an adorable video of Archie and Lili making Valentine’s Day treats with red bagels.
A Trend Among Royal Children
Meghan’s post is part of a growing trend where royal children’s artistic talents are shared with the public.
The Princess of Wales also recently unveiled portraits painted by her own children, adding a personal and sentimental touch to royal updates.
Meghan, however, didn’t stop at just family memories.
Her board also featured a drawing by a Connecticut-based artist depicting her and Prince Harry sharing a kiss while walking their late dog, Guy.
Nostalgia Meets New Beginnings
For longtime followers of Meghan, there was another familiar sight—old photos from her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig.
She had shut down the blog in 2017 before her engagement to Prince Harry, but these nostalgic images now sit alongside new elements of her current journey.
One such inclusion is a nod to her latest business venture, As Ever, formerly known as American Riviera Orchard.
The Story Behind “As Ever”
Meghan explained the reason behind the name change, stating that the original name felt limiting.
While she initially loved “American Riviera Orchard”—a reference to Santa Barbara’s nickname—she wanted a brand identity that was broader and more inclusive.
With Netflix as a key partner in both her show and her business, she saw the perfect opportunity to introduce the name she had secured back in 2022: As Ever.
Interestingly, this explanation contrasts with a previous Vanity Fair report, which claimed that locals in the Montecito and Santa Barbara area were unfamiliar with the term “American Riviera Orchard.”
Regardless, Meghan remains committed to shaping her brand on her own terms.
Quotes, Cooking, and Upcoming Plans
Beyond family mementos and brand inspiration, Meghan’s board was also filled with uplifting quotes, such as:
- “You cannot make everybody happy, you are not a jar of Nutella.”
- “Not to spoil the ending for you, but everything is going to be okay.”
- “Happiness looks gorgeous on you.”
- “I love you with all my butt. I would say heart, but my butt is bigger.”
- “Stay close to the people who make you feel like sunshine.”
Adding to the anticipation, the board also featured images of dishes Meghan has been preparing, likely as part of her upcoming Netflix series, As Ever, Meghan.
According to Netflix, the show will see Meghan welcoming friends and celebrities to a stunning California estate, where she will share cooking, gardening, and hosting tips.
The show, originally set to debut in January, was postponed due to the LA wildfires.
The Future of As Ever
As Ever isn’t just about a lifestyle brand—it’s about Meghan’s personal passions coming to life.
The product line will include gourmet food items, such as what she calls “fruit preserves.”
Playfully referencing her love for jam, she quipped, “I think we’re all clear at this point that jam is my jam.”
Meanwhile, internet sleuths had already uncovered a Shopify website linked to the brand before its official launch, revealing an unseen image of Meghan cooking.
The picture, believed to be from her original American Riviera Orchard promotional shoot, shows her in a white outfit, preparing something in a mixing bowl in the same kitchen featured in her teaser video.
With her business rebranded, a Netflix show on the way, and fans eagerly following her every move, Meghan Markle’s latest chapter is shaping up to be as ever-inspiring as she envisioned.
What’s Next?
With all the buzz surrounding As Ever, the big question remains—what else does Meghan have in store?
Will her brand expand into more product lines? How will her Netflix series be received?
One thing is certain: Meghan Markle continues to create, evolve, and surprise, making every moment count along the way.
