Meghan Markle’s latest As Ever announcement has a special tie to her husband, Prince Harry. On Wednesday, the Duchess of Sussex debuted a Los Angeles pop-up for her lifestyle brand, revealing it in a new Instagram video.
Set to Diana Ross’s “The Boss,” the brief vlog follows Markle as she ventures to the Los Angeles Soho Home store. The interior design company is an extension of Soho House, the global chain of members-only clubs. The Duchess famously had her first date with Harry at one of their London locations, 76 Dean Street.
“Talk about a full circle moment! In my old stomping ground of West Hollywood, with a brand, family and friends that have been part of my life for so long…and also a part of my love story with H (since our very first date was at a SH restaurant),” Markle wrote in the caption.
“So excited to introduce: @aseverofficial x @sohohouse,” she continued. “If you find yourself in LA, come visit our As ever pop up at Soho Home on Melrose Place at 8540 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069.”
“Open to everyone, full collection available (and yummy @urthcaffe just across the street),” the Duchess concluded. “Sounds like a good day to me!”

Harry recounted his first date with Markle in his bestselling 2023 memoir, Spare.
“Red-cheeked, puffing, sweaty, half an hour late, I ran into the restaurant, into the quiet room, and found her sitting at a small area on a low velvet sofa in front of a low coffee table,” Harry recalled in the book.
“She was wearing a black sweater, jeans, heels. I knew nothing about clothes, but I knew she was chic. Then again, she could make anything look chic,” he added.
