Meghan Markle has released a new promotional video for her lifestyle brand, As Ever, coinciding with the Royal Family's Trooping the Colour celebration. The Duchess of Sussex is seen pouring a glass of wine in the advertisement, which showcases her latest wine collection.
Timing of the Release
The video emerged on the same day as the annual Trooping the Colour event in London, which marks the monarch's official birthday. Prince Harry also shared a video message earlier in the day for the Invictus Germany Sports Festival 2026, held from June 12 to 14. His message was posted online around 11:11 am, just minutes after the royal carriages departed Buckingham Palace at approximately 10:45 am.
In his address, Harry said: "Thank you for your service… have a fantastic time in Düsseldorf. Lean on those when you need to and celebrate everything you have achieved, and most importantly, have fun."
Details of Meghan's Video
Meghan's advert for As Ever's Summer Pour collection features a voiceover stating: "There's something special about a bottle opened, friends gathered, a table set, and a season that invites us to linger just a bit longer." The promotion highlights several wines, including a 2024 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, a 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut, and a 2024 Napa Valley Rosé, with prices undisclosed.
Royal Family Context
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and have not attended Trooping the Colour since 2019, shortly after the birth of their son, Prince Archie. Harry is scheduled to return to the UK next month for the one-year countdown event for the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, which he founded in 2014. It remains unclear whether Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, will accompany him.
The 2027 Invictus Games are set to take place in Birmingham from July 10 to 17, 2027.
