High Camp Supply, founded by Susan Hanson in 2014, is a favorite among celebrities, with its Californian-grown gardenias being shipped directly to customers' doorsteps. Meghan's collaboration with the brand is a significant step for As Ever, following its recent split from Netflix. The company, which gained popularity for its high-end floral arrangements, has been featured in publications like Vanity Fair. Meghan's Instagram post, showcasing her daughter and the floral theme, highlights her passion for "elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways," as noted by a statement from Netflix.
Tensions with Netflix Surface
The end of As Ever's partnership with Netflix comes amid reports of tensions between Meghan and the streaming giant. An article in Variety, citing multiple insiders, claims that Netflix is "done" with the Sussexes due to their "perceived pattern of selling repackaged versions of the same story about their exit from royal life." The publication suggests that the couple's relationship with Netflix has been "far from a fairytale," with sources alleging poor communication and "lacklustre" ratings for their Archewell Productions. Netflix has denied these claims, calling them "absolutely inaccurate," while Meghan's lawyer, Michael J Kump, labeled them as "blatantly false."
Insights from Industry Insiders
Variety's report also highlights alleged issues with Meghan's behavior during meetings, with claims that she "tends to talk over or recast Prince Harry's thoughts." The magazine also suggests that Meghan's "odd methods of providing feedback" have caused friction. However, these accusations have been strongly refuted by Meghan's legal team and representatives, who argue that the claims are "calculated to play into the misogynistic characterisation" of Meghan. Despite the challenges, Meghan remains focused on her new collaboration with High Camp Supply, as she continues to navigate the complexities of the entertainment industry.
