NEED TO KNOW

  • Meghan Markle has announced As ever’s latest product: Spiced Apple Butter
  • The Duchess of Sussex plans to keep running her lifestyle company from overseas following her and Prince Harry’s impending move to the U.K.
  • Meghan first shared her grandmother’s apple butter recipe on her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig

Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand is debuting a new product amid her family’s major move.

This week, as Meghan and Prince Harry ready their family to move back to the U.K., As ever teased its latest product, a “fall favorite.”

On Tuesday, Aug. 25, it was revealed: spiced apple butter.

“There’s something special about the first taste of apple season, with its promise of crisp mornings and changing leaves just around the corner,” the company wrote in its newsletter announcing the latest As ever spread. “Our new Spiced Apple Butter captures that feeling in every jar, with orchard apples and fragrant spices bringing the comforting warmth of the season to every spoonful.”

The apple butter will come in a 7.6-ounce jar and be available for purchase starting on Wednesday, Aug. 26.

While the spread might be a new product for As ever, it’s not Meghan’s first foray into apple butter. Back in 2015, on her now-defunct lifestyle blog The Tig, she shared her grandmother’s recipe for apple butter toast, which she “tweaked and modernized” for the site.

Meghan’s recipe began with cooking down three pounds of apples with sugar, salt, cinnamon and cloves. After making the rich, fall-scented spread, it was served on toast with whipped ricotta and Marcona almonds.

“This recipe is great because it’s a little bit savoury, and a little bit sweet,” she explained in her post.

PEOPLE revealed on Aug. 19 that Harry and Meghan planned to return to the U.K. later this month with their children Prince Archie, 7, and Princess Lilibet, 5. PEOPLE also reported that the children had been enrolled in school in Britain and that the family planned to spend an extended period there while staying in a private, non-royal home base.

The family will retain their Montecito, California, home, while Meghan’s business ventures — including As ever, Archewell Productions and their charitable foundation, Archewell Philanthropies — will remain based in the United States. PEOPLE understands that there are several more As ever launches planned for the remainder of the year.

Harry, meanwhile, will continue his charitable work on both sides of the Atlantic, including preparations for the Invictus Games, which are set to take place in Birmingham, England, in July 2027.

In addition to continuing to run As ever and oversee Archewell projects from overseas, Meghan is also eyeing a return to acting.

Just days after news broke about the couple’s return to the U.K., PEOPLE learned that the Duchess of Sussex was in talks for a role in the third season of the Guy Ritchie-created Netflix drama The Gentlemen.

The show was renewed for a third season just ahead of its season 2 premiere on Sept. 3. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Meghan’s potential role “is currently being written, so it’s unclear how many episodes she would appear in.”
