Despite the Duchess of Sussex’s lucrative partnership with the streaming giant, her brand As Ever has seemingly been snubbed by their new commercial store

Meghan Markle has received a major snub from Netflix, as they are opening a new commercial store but reportedly won’t be stocking Meghan’s As Ever products.

The streaming giant is opening a new Netflix House in Dallas, Texas, where they will stock products and merchandise featured on some of their most successful programmes. And despite the Duchess of Sussex having two seasons of her lifestyle show With Love, Meghan with the streamer – as well as the upcoming holiday special – the store seemingly won’t be stocking any of her As Ever range. The store, opening on December 11, offers guests interactive experiences, games and themed food and drinks for hit shows such as Stranger Things and Squid Game.

Despite Meghan’s lucrative deal with the streaming giant, hers is one of many shows that won’t be featured at the store, according to The Royalist. However, sources close to Meghan have said that the snub is not a big deal, insisting that her products were only ever meant to be sold on the brand’s website. The Mirror has contacted Netflix for comment.

Insiders have suggested that the decision not to stock Meghan’s brand is because her lifestyle show With Love, Meghan failed to be a smash hit with her loyal fans.

The first season of the programme was released in March but it failed to break into the top 300 most-watched shows on Netflix in the first six months of 2025. Official figures show it was watched 5.3 million times and in the ranking of the most watched shows, it came 383rd.

The second season, which premiered in August, was also met with a wave of harsh criticism as it also failed to break into the top 10 list of most watched programmes.

Despite the show receiving mixed reviews, Meghan recently announced on Instagram that her holiday special would be airing on Netflix on December 3.

Along with the announcement of the premiere date, the Duchess shared an image of her dressing a table with festive decor, writing in the caption: “Embrace traditions and make new ones this holiday season. With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration arrives December 3rd on Netflix .”

The streaming special will feature the duchess sharing her preferred Christmas traditions, seasonal crafts and recipes alongside several celebrity guests, as a festive extension of her two-season lifestyle programme.
