Earlier in the week, Markle, 43, announced on social media that she was changing her lifestyle brand’s name from American Riviera Orchard to As Ever.

“‘As ever’ means ‘as it’s always been’ or some even say ‘in the same way as always',” Markle explained via Instagram on Tuesday, February 18.

"This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish — food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living, and finding joy in the everyday," she said in the long post.

Meghan McCain not sure what Meghan Markle is doing 

Meghan McCain reacted to Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand's name change announcement with confusion.

“I don’t know what she’s doing,” she told guests Perez Hilton and Mary Katharine Ham, US Weekly noted.

“This is, like, her ninth rebrand. I actually had to review her show and her podcast, and it was horrible. It was so boring," she added.

In addition to her lifestyle brand, Markle recently celebrated the premiere of her new Netflix series, 'With Love, Meghan'.

McCain shared her reaction online after watching the trailer. “I was originally a Meghan Markle supporter, I thought she was cool, stylish and refreshing,” she said via X at the time.



 

“Like the rest of the world, my opinion changed when she disrespected the royal family. Now that she wants to be American again instead of British aristocracy, what she seems to forget is Americans want real, raw, uncensored," she added.

Meghan McCain suggests Meghan Markle should take a different approach

Meghan McCain also described the show’s concept as “ill-advised.”

McCain also shared her belief that Markle’s ventures should focus on making a real impact.

“I would have told her to do a show helping bring fresh food to food deserts in low-income neighborhoods,” she said.

She added in the post, “Do something to help people instead of your ego. All of this even in the trailer is highly curated, produced and out of touch."
