Meghan Markle’s company HQ is based in a "drab" LA building next to a motel, according to new claims.
The Duchess of Sussex recently launched her "As Ever" brand with promises of "elevating the everyday into the exceptional" and "mimicking the magic of Montecito."
Yet the company's official "Global HQ", located at 6061 West Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, has been labelled "drab" and "unassuming".
The building is the polar opposite of the glamorous image projected by her product line of herbal teas and wildflower honey.

The grey three-story office building appears to be attached to a Netflix studio lot, situated on Sunset Boulevard.
The address is printed on the back of Meghan's products, including her Hibiscus and Mint herbal teas and wildflower honey.
The building sits next to what the Mail described as a "sleazy-looking motel." Perhaps most striking is the presence of 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 told the outlet.

The passerby added: "Her products sound so fancy, but the building her company is based in is about as basic as it gets."
Meghan's Montecito mansion is a two-and-a-half-hour drive from her company's Hollywood address.
The office is likely merely an official mailing address for As Ever Enterprises.
