Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand may promise Montecito-style luxury, but its actual headquarters paint a very different picture.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the Duchess of Sussex’s As Ever venture is registered at a plain, gray office building on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles—situated next to a run-down motel and a visible homeless encampment.
It’s a stark contrast to the brand’s message of “elevating the everyday into the exceptional.” The unassuming three-story building, reportedly linked to a Netflix studio lot, is listed on the back of Meghan’s upscale products like herbal teas and wildflower honey. But for those passing by, it doesn’t exactly exude royal elegance.
“It’s not at all what you would expect,” said one passerby. “Her products sound so fancy, but the building is about as basic as it gets.”
Another onlooker remarked, “You’d think a duchess would base her global brand somewhere a bit more glamorous. It looks sad and neglected.”
While the building’s appearance may not match the brand’s polished image—and it sits over two hours from Meghan’s Montecito estate—it’s possible the address is simply used for business mail. The report notes that the front door is often locked, the interior shelves appear bare, and even nearby Netflix staff were unclear on the space’s actual purpose.
