Meghan's New Chapter: Royal Return & Brand Launch

Meghan Markle is embarking on a new chapter, with news confirming her and Prince Harry's relocation to the UK within the next fortnight. This transatlantic move comes as her lifestyle brand, As Ever, celebrates the launch of its Napa Valley Reserve Brut on September 3rd. The brand's activity suggests Meghan will continue to operate As Ever, which she launched in early 2025 after rebranding from American Riviera Orchard.

As Ever has expanded beyond initial offerings like jam and teas to include lifestyle and homeware items such as candles. Prior to this move, content for her brand was largely produced at their California home. The exact direction the brand will take upon their return to Britain remains to be seen. Meanwhile, their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are reportedly enrolled in British schools for September.

This move follows a significant legal cost bill of £9.5 million ordered for Harry and other claimants in their case against Associated Newspapers Limited. The claims, related to unlawful information gathering, were dismissed in a July 7th judgment. Prince Harry and the other high-profile figures involved, including Baroness Doreen Lawrence and Sir Elton John, were ordered to pay the costs.
