Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, will reportedly release a cookbook this year

A source told Daily Mail online: "Meghan is looking at a cookbook for early 2026 and there will be more lifestyle products coming in the spring.

"2026 is looking like another big year for her. There will be more wine and definitely more homeware too.

"But she will ease off selling her biscuit and crepe kits."

Although Netflix is a partner in As Ever, Meghan's products haven't been stocked in their US stores or pop-ups, and bosses are said to be "monitoring" the responses to the duchess' holiday special before making any changes.

The source added: "They [Netflix] are monitoring the Christmas show to see if it picks up, before they do any proper pop-ups or experiences."

The 43-year-old duchess- who has children Prince Archie, six, and four-year-old Princess Lilibet with husband Prince Harry - recently shared some of her best entertainment tips, including going barefoot and answering the door with her apron on.

Speaking to author and lifestyle creator Courtney Adamo for a Godmothers Bookstore livestream, Meghan explained: "It demystifies. People walk in and go, 'Oh, she's in this with me.' And what are they drawn to? Your kitchen. They come right in, and suddenly everyone's a little bit softened."

Meghan likes to have a cider or hot toddy on the stove and for guests to serve themselves.

She said: "I love people being able to serve themselves, and having things on the stove that everyone can help themselves to.

"I always have music on in the background."

When she travels, Meghan always takes along a portable speaker so she can play music, and a scented candle.

She said: "I always travel with a candle. I am so conscious and sensitive to fragrance and I associate that with home."

Meghan recalled how she and Courtney, who were in the same sorority at Northwestern University, developed a particularly strong bond after making a trip back from their California homes back to college in Chicago in 2001.

She said: "We were meant to fly [to Chicago] but we here's why we didn't: because 9/11 happened on that same day.

"So the two of us ended up driving 30 hours over three days. 10 hours a day. From Los Angeles to Chicago together at one of the most fragile, tender times in this country."

The trip made the duchess realise the importance of "community" and "what people need in moments when you are wanting to feel safe."

She added: "And there's no safer place that you feel than in your home."
