Meghan Markle teases new product days after return from visiting King Charles

Meghan Markle has teased what appears to be a forthcoming product from her lifestyle brand As Ever, posting a short video to the label's Instagram page.

The 44-year-old duchess can be seen gathering berries in a sun-drenched garden believed to be near her Montecito residence, wearing white shorts, a blue shirt and an oversized straw hat.

Accompanying the clip was the caption: "A taste of late summer is almost here. Something sweet is arriving soon."

As Ever was established last year alongside the debut of her Netflix programme With Love, Meghan, and has since expanded with numerous product releases.

Your Say

No specific launch date for the new product has yet been disclosed.

The teaser prompted a decidedly mixed response when it circulated on X.

One sceptical user quipped: "Oh great! What is she dropping now? No doubt it will be a hit and sell-out in the first half-hour! NOT!"

Supporters of the Sussexes, however, were rather more enthusiastic about the prospect.

"Princess Meghan is absolutely stunning," gushed one admirer, while another joked: "Meghan leave my bank account alone! I thought I was safe. Just kidding. Looking forward to it!"

Fans online have speculated it could mean the release of a new blackberry-flavoured jam, given the video appears to show the duchess picking blackberries from her garden.

Meghan recently discussed the use of her garden on her MasterChef Australia appearance, which aired over the weekend.

"The kids jump in a lot, especially with the garden. I think it's such a nice luxury to be able to have so much space and things to cook," she told viewers.

"If they say 'Mama, can I have dessert?', we say 'If you can pick it, you can have it'."

The duchess has also previously disclosed Prince Archie, aged seven, and five-year-old Princess Lilibet, occasionally sell homegrown produce at a local farmers' market, an exercise she says helps them grasp "the value of things" despite their privileged upbringing.

This forthcoming release marks the duchess's first new As Ever product since her unexpected return to Britain earlier this month.

Meghan made the transatlantic journey with the couple's two children, Archie and Lilibet.

On July 10, the family sat down with King Charles and Queen Camilla in what was widely regarded as a significant meeting. Prince Harry, who had arrived in the country separately earlier that week, joined his wife and children for the encounter.

The berry-picking teaser suggests the Duchess has wasted little time refocusing on her commercial ventures following that landmark visit.
