Meghan Markle and her famous Montecito neighbour Oprah are teaming up to make this holiday season memorable.
The Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, landed a coveted spot on the award-winning talkshow host’s holiday gift guide, which has been a cultural staple since 1996. This year’s list, titled “Oprah’s Favorite Things 2025,” was unveiled on Wednesday, November 5 on the Oprah Daily website.
Among the food picks was Meghan’s As Ever Signature Fruit Spread — a $42 trio of orange marmalade, strawberry, and raspberry jams from the brand’s latest holiday collection.
As Ever celebrated the nod in a newsletter to customers, calling it “an honor to be included in the season’s quintessential guide to gifting.”
Celebrating the news on Instagram, Meghan, 44, shared a new promotional clip of her Signature Fruit Spread, along with a 10% off code as a “thank you for helping us make this moment so special.”
Meghan also shared a link to the gift guide, where Oprah, 71, writes, “Before my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade recipes with us,” Oprah wrote. “I love to drizzle it on an English muffin or yogurt or ice cream… with this pretty box set of orange marmalade and raspberry and strawberry spreads, just add a bow and you’re ready to go.”
This is the second year in a row that the former Suits actress has made the cut for Oprah’s holiday gift guide. In 2024, Oprah gave another shout-out to “my neighbour Meghan,” who gifted her a Tatcha body care set.
Oprah has been neighbours with Meghan ever since she moved back to the US with Prince Harry and their then-one-year-old son Prince Archie in 2020.
The TV star recently revealed another glimpse into holidays with the Sussexes while appearing on Kelly Ripa’s podcast Let’s Talk Off Camera back in July. She revealed that last Easter Saturday, “I get a call from Harry — Prince Harry… and he says, ‘Sorry to bother you, O [Harry and Meghan’s nickname for Oprah], but we have a duck problem here.”
Harry, the youngest son of King Charles III, then explained that a duck had laid eggs and hatched chicks near their home, and they needed to be relocated.
“Our pond is a stream, we don’t have a pond, so can we bring the ducks over to your pond,” Oprah recalled in the prince’s accent.
