About this episode

The episode discusses Meghan Markle's brand expansion and the criticism surrounding it, featuring insights from an Australian reporter and commentary from John Oliver.

Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever expands into candles, fragrance and gifting, with new products inspired by Archie and Lilibet as the Duchess deepens the personal side of the brand. Critics, however, are pouncing, with questions about using the children in the rollout and more sharp commentary from the press. We also hear from an Australian reporter who spent four days covering Harry and Meghan up close, plus John Oliver’s blunt new verdict on the Royal Family and Prince Andrew.
