Meghan Markle is making headlines once again—this time not just for her latest lifestyle drop, but for how it coincided with an unexpected move by King Charles.
On August 3, just a day before Meghan’s long-teased product release, the 76-year-old monarch unveiled his own Balmoral Pet Collection, featuring high-end dog accessories and treats.
The timing raised eyebrows, as many viewed it as an attempt to upstage Meghan’s As Ever brand, which she has been actively promoting ahead of her 44th birthday on Monday, August 4. The Duchess of Sussex responded subtly but firmly on social media. A short video was posted on the official As Ever Instagram page, showing Meghan carrying a rustic basket filled with her Napa Valley Rosé. The clip was captioned, “Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner. Cheers to August!” and was re-shared on Meghan’s personal account.
Just days earlier, Meghan had used her newsletter to tease the arrival of a “new vintage” of her signature wine, confirming its release for the following week. The Duchess appears determined to maintain the spotlight on her growing lifestyle empire.
As King Charles pushes luxury dog biscuits and collars, Meghan is pouring her focus into rosé—and her followers are clearly toasting her for it.
