Duchess of Sussex left disappointed after peace offering fails to heal royal rift
Meghan Markle’s reported attempt to make peace with King Charles has seemingly fallen short, after sending a personal gift in hopes of repairing strained ties with the Royal Family.
According to Fox News, the Duchess of Sussex sent a curated gift box from her lifestyle brand As Ever to Clarence House, including jams, honey, crêpe mix, and other artisanal items, along with a handwritten note intended as a gesture of reconciliation.
Royal commentator Neil Sean revealed, “A sample box of delights from As Ever has been delivered to Clarence House with a note. This was a gifted idea from the Duchess of Sussex.”
The gesture initially sparked speculation among fans that a long-anticipated thaw between the Sussexes and the royals could be on the horizon. However, royal expert Russell Myers dismissed the idea that the offering would mend deep-rooted divisions.
“In terms of peace offerings, I don’t think we’re there yet,” Myers told Sky News Australia. “I’m not sure a hamper full of jam and biscuits and crêpes will smooth over relations.”
With no public acknowledgment from the Palace and tensions still high, Meghan’s gift appears to have been met with silence—signalling that any royal reconciliation remains distant.
