Just one week after relocating to the UK, the Duchess of Sussex has launched a new product to celebrate the new chapter of their lives
Meghan Markle has celebrated a new chapter of her life with the launch of a brand new As Ever product.
The Duchess of Sussex shared the news of the product release on her brand’s Instagram account, just one week after arriving in the UK for an ‘extended period’.

Harry and Meghan, who touched down in Birmingham Airport last week with their children Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, in tow, are believed to be settling in the Cotswolds after living in California for six years. While the Duchess of Sussex is believed to be ‘in talks’ for a new acting role, she is also continuing to work on her lifestyle brand As Ever.

To celebrate the new chapter of their lives, Meghan announced that her brand would be selling a new sparkling win within a matter of days. The Duchess shared two photos of the new tipple in a bucket of ice alongside a caption about the new bubbly.

She wrote: “A new chapter to celebrate. Introducing our Reserve Brut. Crafted in the traditional Méthode Champenoise and sourced from Napa Valley, this elegant sparkling wine was made for gathering, toasting, and savouring life’s beautiful moments. Available 9/3.”

The Reserve Brut marks the latest addition to As Ever’s drinks line-up, with Meghan’s brand previously launching a Napa Valley rosé that reportedly sold out within an hour in the US.

It is believed that while she is now based in the UK, the sparkling wine - like her other As Ever products - won’t be available for a UK audience to buy, as the brand only ships to the United States.

Duke and Duchess are planning to remain in Britain for an ‘extended stay’, with rumours swirling that the Sussex family are settling in the Cotswolds, with Archie and Lilibet enrolled in UK schools to start the new year this week.

After leaving the UK in 2020 and relocating to the US to chase personal and financial freedom from the Firm, Harry and Meghan levelled a series of accusations against the Royal Family, in which they claim they faced pressure from behind Palace walls following their 2018 wedding.

A friend of Meghan’s has now spoken candidly about how the Sussex’s time in Britain will be ‘different’ this time around for the Duchess, as she returns to the UK outside the constraints of the Royal Family.
Meghan’s friend told People magazine: “She has been vocal about how she felt about it before, but that doesn’t mean things are going to be exactly the same again. It doesn’t mean it can’t be different and can’t change.” Another source says Meghan’s network is better prepared for what lies ahead and “stronger now than it ever was to protect her — to protect them.

Speaking of their arrival in Britain, a source told the Telegraph: “How long will they stay? I don’t know, but it will be for an extended period. Whether that’s six months, a year, two years… who  knows.

It is unclear if they have bought their UK home or will rent.

Harry has previously claimed it was unsafe to bring his family back home. He has fought a multi-million pound legal campaign to force the Government to return his 24-hour armed guards.

After a devastating court loss  18 months ago  he said: “I can’t see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point.”

King Charles 'blindsided' by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell UK return

 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are planning an extended move back to the United Kingdom from the United States, six years after stepping down from royal duties. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are enrolled in British schools for the term starting in September, and the family will live in a private residence outside London. 

The   King and entire Royal Family has been blindsided by Prince Harry  and Meghan’s bombshell plans to move back to the UK - with Charles only told about them three days ago, royal sources have said.

It is understood Harry and Meghan's plans would have been months in the making, however the King, who has had a rocky relationship with his younger son, was only made aware of the move on Sunday.

They are expected to remain financially independent and continue their commercial and charitable work, while Harry is not expected to undertake official royal duties. They are retaining their home in Montecito, California as well as their holiday home in Portugal.

The King, who is still living with cancer, was first made aware of the move on Sunday, only three days before it was made public, but is understood to welcome the opportunity to see more of the family both in a private and personal capacity.

The Castle doors have now closed to members of the public, the residence announced on Monday, though the gift shop and cafe will remain open during certain hours.

The grounds are expected to reopen for autumn from early October.

Balmoral has been a beloved residence for the royal family for generations, and it's where the late Queen Elizabeth II spent her final days. 

Prince Albert first purchased the estate, which is nestled within the Cairngorms National Park, for Queen Victoria in 1852. 

It now serves as a private sanctuary for the royals to spend their summer in the Scottish Highlands each year.

He began with a trip to the Mey Highland Games, where he got into the spirit by enjoying a dram of whisky. He also visited Caithness in the Scottish Highlands. 

The King was most recently seen in public in Dingwall in the Scottish Highlands last Friday, meeting locals while wearing a traditional Scottish kilt. 

Every year, the King and Queen retreat to the 50,000-acre estate Balmoral in Aberdeenshire. Typically, other members of the royal family will come to visit, including the Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children. 

The King and Queen usually stay at Birkhall, an 18th-century home in the grounds, so that the main castle can be used for larger family gatherings.

The Prime Minister also tends to visit the monarch for a weekend retreat in the late summer, meaning Andy Burnham may stay there for the first time in his new role.

Meghan Markle hits back after Martha Stewart said duchess dropped dinner party gossip about trip to King Charles - as insider claims cooking star 'must have been confused'

Meghan Markle has denied chatting about her reunion with the King at a California  dinner party attended by fellow lifestyle guru  Martha Stewart,

Ms Stewart, whom some claim Meghan wants to usurp as the world's best-known homemaker, said the former actress had been briefing fellow diners about her family's trip to the UK to see Prince  Harry's father at a recent soiree.

But a source close to the Duchess of Sussex claimed Martha 'must have been confused' because the pair were not seated near one another.

She claimed Meghan was openly 'talking about' her visit to Highgrove to see KIng Charles.

'I know she was,' she insisted.

Last month, the Sussexes had a private family reunion with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House during a chaotic trip to the UK. 

Harry had reportedly agreed not to speak publicly about the visit and that no photographs would be shared. Meghan's Instagram post on the trip shared a number of intimate family moments - but nothing from Highgrove.

Today, a source close to the Duchess insisted she did not discuss the UK visit at all, saying only that she had enjoyed a nice holiday in Europe.

The insider said: 'Meghan was asked by someone else about her European vacation and said it was nice, and that was the extent of it. I think she must have been confused.'

Despite the difference of opinion, Meghan remains a 'fan' of Ms Stewart, the source added to the Mirror

Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'furious at security double standard'

 

The Sussexes are said to be frustrated as officials reportedly think giving them UK security would be too much of a political risk

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly angry  Catherine Princess of Wales's sister, Pippa Middleton, was given permission to improve security around her home. The 42-year-old, her husband, hedge fund manager James Matthews, 50, and their three children live at Barton Court, a £16.75million,  145 acre estate  in Berkshire. The Sussexes are said to think that this is a "double standard", as civil servants from the Home Office, the Cabinet Office and the Foreign Office are reportedly opposed to granting the couple taxpayer-funded protection whenever they are in the UK because it would carry too much political risk. 

"There are implications for my family, due to their high public profile, which means there is a need for a higher level of security than would otherwise be the case if the circumstances were different," Matthews said, according to Sky News  "Therefore, to improve security for my family, before we moved in, I arranged for an electric security gate to be erected on the drive." "Unfortunately there has been a continued need to enhance security," he added.❤

With Kate's Cancer church became closer

 

Sorry William, but Kate and Meghan are holier than thou! Amid questions about the future King's 'quiet faith', how his wife became 'more interested' in religion during cancer - and his sister-in-law's 'prayer circles'

 Prince William has sparked controversy with a somewhat lukewarm endorsement of the Church of England, which he will one day govern, after it was revealed he has a 'quiet faith'.

However, if the future King is in need of a spiritual boost, he need look no further for inspiration than his wife and sister-in-law Meghan Markle who have both leaned into their religious beliefs to manage some of life's greatest obstacles.

The  Prince of Wales reportedly used her faith as a tool while she navigated her cancer  diagnosis, while   King Charles also used his relationship with the church to manage his respective health battle.

Meanwhile, prior to meeting  Prince Hurry  and converting into the Church of England, Meghan Markle, who was raised Protestant, would gather her Suits co-stars for a prayer circle before filming.

According to Meghan's old school friend Ninaki Priddy, it was God who got the  Duchess of Sussex  through her 'darkest moments'.

It comes as the Prince of Wales has revealed his commitment to the Church of England, despite not being a regular churchgoer.

Days before attending the Archbishop of Canterbury's enthronement, William for the first time confirmed his wish to forge 'a strong and meaningful bond with the Church and its leadership'.

While the British monarch is required to be an Anglican to serve as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, other members of the Firm are not bound to a particular religion.
