Meghan Markle’s New Summer Launch Comes As Questions Grow Over Possible UK Return With Prince Harry
Meghan Markle has unveiled a new product from her lifestyle brand As Ever, even as speculation continues over whether she will return to the UK with Prince Harry and their two children next month.
The Duchess of Sussex returned to the brand’s Instagram account to announce that Lavender Honey will be available for the first time from Tuesday. The launch will sit alongside a fresh release of As Ever’s Orange Blossom Honey, one of the products already associated with Meghan’s carefully curated lifestyle image.
In her product description, Meghan presented the Lavender Honey as a gentle seasonal offering, leaning into the soft, summery aesthetic that has shaped much of As Ever’s public branding. Although the Duchess did not appear in the promotional images herself, the post featured styled product shots designed to highlight the brand’s polished, home-and-garden feel.
The timing of the launch has drawn extra attention because it arrives during a period of renewed uncertainty around the Sussex family’s possible return to Britain. Prince Harry is understood to be exploring options that would allow Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to join him for a rare UK visit connected to several public engagements.
According to the latest statement from Harry’s spokesperson, the Duke is continuing to look at every available route to make the trip possible safely, while also giving his children the chance to spend time in the UK. However, no formal decision appears to have been reached, with security arrangements still a key issue.
Harry and Meghan lost automatic taxpayer-funded police protection after stepping back as senior working royals in 2020. Since then, the Duke has pursued legal action over the level of security available to him and his family when they are in Britain. That ongoing concern remains central to whether the wider Sussex family will travel together.
Harry’s planned schedule is expected to include an Invictus Games Foundation event at Chatham House, bringing together experts, policymakers and members of the Invictus community. There has also been discussion of a potential joint engagement with Meghan at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where the couple could meet Chelsea pensioners in what would be their first joint public engagement in the UK since 2020.
The Duke, who is patron of WellChild, is also due to visit Birmingham Children’s Hospital to mark the 20th anniversary of the first WellChild Nurse. At the NEC, he is expected to join events involving competitors from previous Invictus Games, continuing one of the causes most closely linked to his public work.
There are also reports of possible private family plans, although nothing has been confirmed. Harry may reportedly want to take Archie and Lilibet to visit the final resting place of his late mother, Princess Diana, at Althorp Estate. It is also believed he may try to see King Charles during the trip, after last meeting him in person in September 2025.
For now, Meghan’s latest As Ever launch keeps her firmly visible in the lifestyle space while the royal side of the story remains unresolved. Whether the Duchess and the children appear in Britain next month could become one of the most closely watched Sussex decisions of the summer.
