The Duchess of Sussex keeps it real—bare-faced and relaxed in her Montecito kitchen—while teasing more magic on the way.

August 20, 2025Meghan Markle treated fans to a refreshingly candid moment, posting a makeup-free video filmed in her Montecito kitchen. In the short clip, she prepares a simple pasta dish using garlic, preserved lemons, and olive oil, captioned with a hopeful note: “So much goodness is coming soon.”

A Genuine Glimpse at Home

In the video, Meghan appears relaxed and radiant, showing off her natural beauty as she cooks. The camera pans to jars of As Ever preserves—products from her lifestyle brand—lining the countertop. She lovingly finishes the dish with fresh basil, cheese, and a glass of As Ever rosé.

A Promise of What’s to Come

Her brief caption—Cooking up more than pasta (with homemade preserved lemons)… so much goodness is coming soon”—hints at upcoming projects. With the second season of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan debuting August 26, fans suspect she’s teasing more intimate content featuring cooking, lifestyle, and family moments.
