I visited Meghan Markle's new Hollywood HQ and found a seedy secret (2025)

For a woman who talks about 'elevating' everyday life and puts flower sprinkles on everything it is a surprisingly drab 'Global HQ.'

This is 6061 West Sunset Boulevard, the unassuming and surprisingly modest 'home' of Meghan Markle's 'As Ever' brand.

The address is printed on the back of Meghan's products including her Hibiscus and Mint herbal teas and wildflower honey.

The products - launched with much fanfare earlier this month - say on the label 'Manufactured For: As Ever Enterprises, LLC, 6061 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90028.

But anyone visiting the address hoping for a bit of Hollywood glamour and glitz will be sorely disappointed.

The grey three-story office building appears to be attached to a Netflix studio lot and is at the less-salubrious end of Sunset Boulevard next to a sleazy-looking motel.

There is a homeless encampment just a few hundred feet away.

'It's not at all what you would expect,' one woman who was walking past the building said yesterday.

'You would think a real-life duchess would make her global headquarters in a more glamorous part of town. It's a drab and shabby building. Quite a sad-looking place.

'Her products sound so fancy but the building her company is based in is about as basic as it gets.'

Meghan lives with Prince Harry in a pounds 11.5 million 16-bathroom mansion in the millionaire's enclave of Montecito, a two-and-a-half hour drive from her Hollywood address.

It is likely the office is merely an official mailing address for As Ever Enterprises.

When the Daily Mail visited there was no sign of anyone entering or leaving the building.

The front door appeared to be locked and a glance inside the windows showed only bare shelves.

At the Netflix studio lot next door a worker said he had no idea what the 6061 building housed.

In an interview with Fortune magazine this week Meghan explained she wanted her new business venture to be 'high-low' saying: 'I wanted to create products that look more prestige but are more accessible and affordable.

'I think during any time of recession people still want to find creature comforts, items that can bring them joy.'

The duchess has previously spoken about 'elevating the everyday into the exceptional' and 'mimicking the magic of Montecito.'

Yet when it comes to her company's office it seems drab and depressing is the aesthetic she is going for.
