Duchess fondly recalls British memories in a message to fans
Meghan Markle appears to be extending an olive branch to the royal family, as she makes a rare and warm reference to her UK life in a recent newsletter for her lifestyle brand, As Ever.
The Duchess of Sussex, who stepped back from royal duties with Harry, has been using her brand’s updates to share personal reflections. In a surprising shift, she nostalgically mentioned aspects of her time in England, despite previously describing her royal experience as distressing.
“When I think of the things I look forward to most, I usually find them in the unexpected, in the thoughtful gesture, in the small details that show care,” she wrote.
She then highlighted a fond memory, adding, “Crunchy and delicious shortbread cookies that remind me of my time in England, with tiny flower sprinkles to add extra beauty and charm.”
Meghan ended her message by inviting her audience to embrace a sense of warmth and familiarity through her brand, writing, “With As Ever, I welcome you to the feeling of my home, and invite you to have this joy in your home too.”
Her remarks come as reports suggest that she and Harry have been working to tone down tensions with the royal family, raising speculation that they may be seeking to mend fractured ties.
