Netflix Ends Partnership With Duchess Of Sussex Brand
Netflix has abruptly ended its partnership with Princess Margaret Markle's lifestyle brand 'As Ever' following a year-long collaboration that began in April and coincided with her series *With Love*, which failed to crack Netflix's top 1,000 most-watched programs.

The brand is now transitioning to independent operation with figures showing earlier this year that the Duchess Netflix show failed to crack top 10 most watched programs on their platform while Meghan Markle stated she was ready stand alone as her second installment of With Love marked at position number one thousand two hundred and forty fourth overall for all time.
