It’s no secret that Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have sadly had a strained relationship with the other members of the Royal Family, including Harry’s father King Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla. But, after recent reports that members of staff for both the Sussexes and the monarch had a clandestine meeting, it seems the Duchess may have just gone one step further in giving hope of a reconciliation.
Over on her Instagram Stories, Meghan shares that her lifestyle brand, As Ever, now has it’s very own rosé wine offering, as well as jams, decorative edible flowers and more, and told her four million followers that she was sending a case of wine out as a special birthday gift.
The caption accompanying the video of the Duchess unscrewing the case of wine? “Sending birthday love – (both near and far) to my ladies” with a white heart emoji, leading fans to speculate that Queen Camilla, who turns 78 today, could be one of the lucky recipients.
Meghan and Camilla haven’t been pictured in public together since Queen the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey on 19 September 2022, and since then it’s unfortunately no secret that she and Harry have broken away from the rest of the royal family (something they’ve discussed in their Netflix show, Harry & Meghan, and which Harry wrote about in his book, Spare).

Elsewhere, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram account shared the recent portrait of the Queen Consort released by the Palace for her birthday on their Stories, with the joyful message: “Happy Birthday to Her Majesty! 🎂”
Here’s hoping whether the wine made it to her post box or not, that Camilla has a great day of celebrations.
