Meghan Markle surprises fans by breaking royal ring tradition while promoting her tea brand As Ever in a quiet Montecito photo post

Just when you think Meghan Markle might be slowing down, she surprises everyone again.

In her latest Instagram post for her lifestyle brand As Ever, Meghan gave fans a glimpse not only into what seems like an exciting new project but also into her personal jewelry collection—particularly her rings.

And let’s just say, she’s doing things her own way.

A Close-Up on the Duchess’s Dazzling Ring Stack

While filling and packaging loose leaf tea for As Ever, Meghan shared a subtle shot showing off her stunning ring stack.

Though her face wasn’t visible in the photo, her engagement, wedding, and eternity rings certainly stole the spotlight.

Altogether, the rings are estimated to be worth around £210,000.

But what really caught people’s attention was the order in which she wore them.

Tradition says the wedding band should go on first—closest to the heart—followed by the engagement ring, and then any additional bands like an eternity ring.

But Meghan switched things up, wearing her three-stone engagement ring first, followed by the eternity ring, and lastly her Welsh gold wedding band.

According to British jeweler Beaverbrooks, that’s definitely outside the norm, but preferences are evolving, and Meghan is clearly doing what feels right to her.

New Bonds Over Familiar Struggles

Interestingly, the same day that post went live, reports surfaced that Meghan and Prince Harry have been quietly supporting Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

The young couple has reportedly had their own rocky moments with Brooklyn’s parents, David and Victoria Beckham—something the Sussexes can apparently relate to.

Sources say Harry and Meghan recently hosted Brooklyn and Nicola for dinner at their Montecito home.

The two couples supposedly bonded over shared experiences, particularly being portrayed by the media as disruptive forces within their respective families.

Meghan and Nicola are said to have connected over how they’ve both been labeled “homewreckers,” while Harry shared heartfelt support with Brooklyn.

Deep Chats and Shared Frustrations

One insider revealed that Meghan and Nicola had what they described as a “deep and meaningful” chat, relating over how the press has framed their relationships.

Meanwhile, Harry reportedly offered Brooklyn sincere support, empathizing with the situation.

The couples even swapped phone numbers, and insiders hinted that their connection came at just the right time, especially given the Beckham family’s own tension—dubbed “Beckxit” in some circles.

This unexpected friendship may ruffle feathers, particularly with David and Victoria, who were already reportedly hurt when Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s recent 50th birthday bash.

Business, Buzz, and a Hint of Controversy

Meghan, ever the multitasker, has also been busy developing her As Ever brand.

After launching with a limited drop that sold out almost instantly—featuring herbal teas, wildflower honey, and the much-hyped raspberry jam—she’s now teasing something fresh.

Despite the apparent early success, some industry insiders have questioned whether the “sellout” was genuine or just a savvy marketing move using limited stock to create hype.

Regardless, Meghan seems undeterred.

In a new update, she hinted that something special is coming soon, sharing a photo of herself foraging with a basket in hand—possibly hinting at a new harvest-based product.

Concert Era and VIP Nights Out

Meanwhile, Meghan and Harry have been embracing their “concert era.”

Just days ago, they were spotted enjoying a James Taylor concert in Santa Barbara, following a fun-filled night at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour in L.A.

The couple looked relaxed and happy, posing for photos with Taylor and even getting books signed.

Meghan looked effortlessly chic in casual black, her hair cascading in soft waves, while Harry kept things classic.

And yes, there were some sweet moments too—like Harry kissing Meghan on the cheek in one of the snaps she posted.

Beyoncé herself even shared a photo of the royal couple enjoying the show from the VIP lounge.

What’s Next for Meghan?

So, what’s next for the Duchess of Sussex?

Between her growing lifestyle brand, high-profile friendships, and public appearances with Harry, she seems to be carefully balancing entrepreneurship, family, and a bit of fun.

With a new As Ever drop on the horizon and her Netflix series With Love, Meghan gaining traction, it’s clear Meghan isn’t just writing her own story—she’s doing it on her own terms.
