Meghan Markle Gets Her Hands Dirty As She Drops Shock Confession About Her Brand Hustle
Meghan Markle is back in the spotlight — and this time, she’s revealing a side of herself fans rarely see. In a candid new interview, the Duchess of Sussex made headlines with her refreshingly honest take on running her lifestyle brand, admitting she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty… literally.
Appearing on the podcast Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan, now 43, spoke openly about the highs and lows of building her brand, As Ever. Unlike the polished, curated image many associate with royal life, Meghan’s words painted a picture of a hands-on, scrappy businesswoman ready to tackle anything thrown her way.
“It can get messy,” Meghan admitted. “And the best founders are not afraid to get their hands dirty.” In a striking metaphor, she added, “When it’s ‘clean up on aisle five’ time, you are the first person there with a mop.”
The surprising comment has sparked a wave of reactions, with many praising Meghan for stepping away from the luxury image often tied to her royal past. Instead, she’s leaning into the chaos of entrepreneurship — something many businesswomen can relate to.
Meghan’s brand As Ever is aimed at redefining lifestyle in a way that balances beauty, simplicity, and real-life practicality. And in this interview, she made it clear that she’s not just the face of the brand — she’s deeply involved in its day-to-day grind.
Speaking passionately, Meghan said, “The whole point for me… is when you see something that is an easy solve in the everyday, that’s not complicated, that’s not fussy — how do you get your hands involved?”
Her mission? Solving real-life problems with a sense of style and grace. But Meghan isn’t afraid to show that even style icons deal with cluttered kitchens and hectic schedules. “I see vegetables and I see takeout — because I don’t have time to cook every day,” she said. “And I go, ‘Alright, but how do I still make this flattering and beautiful and present well and something that people find appetising?’”
The former actress turned duchess turned entrepreneur is clearly aiming to connect with her audience on a human level. She’s not pushing perfection. Instead, she’s inviting women to embrace the mess — and find elegance in it.

Fans were quick to take to social media, applauding Meghan’s vulnerability and realness. “She’s talking about mops and takeout — that’s the Meghan people want to hear from,” one fan tweeted. Others praised her for shedding the overly curated image and embracing authenticity.
Critics, however, questioned how “relatable” a duchess with multi-million-dollar deals and a Montecito mansion can truly be. But even skeptics were intrigued by Meghan’s unfiltered honesty and her obvious passion for her latest venture.
Her appearance on the podcast marks a clear shift in Meghan’s public tone. Gone are the grand royal speeches and scripted appearances. In their place: a more grounded, hands-on, entrepreneurial Meghan who’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves and mop up the mess — metaphorically or otherwise.
This evolution comes at a crucial time for the Duchess, as she continues to build a new identity beyond the royal family. With As Ever, she’s crafting a brand that reflects her values, lifestyle, and desire to bring beauty to everyday life — chaos and all.
As she continues to champion female entrepreneurship, Meghan is positioning herself not just as a duchess, but as a founder, a creator, and a woman willing to do the dirty work to build something meaningful.
One thing’s for sure: Meghan Markle isn’t playing by royal rules anymore. And whether you love her or loathe her, she’s proving she’s not afraid to clean up aisle five on her way to the top.
