Just when fans thought Meghan Markle was laying low, the Duchess of Sussex quietly reemerged with a buzz-worthy Instagram post—one that hinted at new developments for her lifestyle brand As Ever, and also subtly broke with royal tradition.
This time, it wasn’t a glitzy public appearance or flashy interview that had people talking—it was her hands.
Or more specifically, the way she wore her wedding and engagement rings in a brand new photo.
Meghan’s Ring Stack Sends a Quiet but Bold Message
In the new image shared on As Ever’s Instagram account, Meghan is seen busy at work, packaging loose leaf tea.
While her face remains out of frame, her iconic ring stack takes center stage.
The photo gave fans a rare close-up of her trio of rings: her eye-catching three-stone engagement ring from Prince Harry (valued at around £126,000), her traditional Welsh gold wedding band (worth approximately £9,550), and a £75,000 eternity ring.
But it was the order in which she wore them that raised eyebrows.
Instead of following the conventional sequence—wedding band first, engagement ring second, eternity band last—Meghan flipped the script.
She placed the engagement ring closest to her hand, followed by the eternity ring, with the wedding band worn last.
Jewelry experts often say the wedding band should sit closest to the heart, but Meghan clearly went with what felt right for her.
These days, style over tradition seems to be the name of the game—and Meghan’s subtle twist definitely got noticed.
A Hint That Something New Is Brewing at As Ever
Meghan’s caption for the post? Just one word: “Simplici-tea.” Short, sweet, and very on-brand.
The minimalist caption seemed to hint that more products—or perhaps an entirely new drop—might be on the horizon for As Ever.
After two weeks of social media silence, Meghan returned with an update, writing: “We’ve been quietly crafting something special.
Stay close—we’re so looking forward to sharing it with you!”
She was also seen in another photo, foraging with a basket in hand, dressed casually in a crisp white shirt with rolled-up sleeves—further teasing that fresh produce or a nature-inspired collection could be in the works.
Meghan and Harry Quietly Support Brooklyn and Nicola During Their Own Family Feud
Beyond the brand buzz, Meghan and Prince Harry have reportedly been extending their support to another famous couple facing their own set of family challenges—Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz.
According to insiders, the Sussexes hosted Brooklyn and Nicola for dinner at their $14 million Montecito mansion.
Sources say the two couples connected over shared experiences—particularly the strain of dealing with family drama in the public eye.
Meghan and Nicola are believed to have had a deep heart-to-heart.
Both have been labeled “homewreckers” by critics for being blamed, rightly or wrongly, for the rifts within their husbands’ families.
The Duchess reportedly sympathized with Nicola’s experience and offered a compassionate ear.
Harry Relates to Brooklyn’s Struggles and Offers His “Unwavering Support”
While the women bonded over media labels and emotional baggage, Harry also stepped in to offer support.
He reportedly told Brooklyn he understood what it’s like to be caught between your family and your partner—something he’s lived through very publicly since stepping away from royal duties.
The two couples apparently left dinner feeling uplifted.
One insider even claimed Harry and Meghan were “particularly kind, caring, and generous,” and that a genuine friendship may now be blossoming between the four.
The connection has even earned a nickname online—“Beckxit”—as rumors of a fallout between Brooklyn and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, continue to swirl.
David and Victoria Allegedly Left Hurt by the Rift
The supposed Beckham-Sussex alliance may not be sitting well with David and Victoria.
Reports suggest the Beckhams are heartbroken over the family tension—especially after Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday bash earlier this month.
It’s a blow for the elder Beckhams, who were once close friends with Harry and Meghan.
Their relationship reportedly soured years ago after accusations of press leaks, and this new dinner with Brooklyn and Nicola might reopen old wounds.
Meghan’s Brand Success Sparks Both Praise and Skepticism
Meanwhile, Meghan continues to promote her new venture As Ever, which launched with a selection of high-end lifestyle goods including herbal teas, wildflower honey, and her now-famous raspberry jam.
The debut drop sold out within 30 minutes of going live. However, not everyone is convinced the brand’s success is organic.
According to The Telegraph, a source claimed the limited stock was a marketing tactic—designed to generate hype and exclusivity.
Still, Meghan’s excitement is palpable. In one post, she wrote, “We’re live! Come shop the As Ever collection I’ve poured so much love into,” with a note that only limited quantities would be available for each seasonal drop.
Netflix, which is also behind her docuseries With Love, Meghan, is partnering with her to expand As Ever into American mega-malls later this year.
So regardless of the skepticism, the business is clearly growing.
From Wellness to Date Nights: Meghan and Harry’s Social Life Is Thriving
It’s not all work for the Sussexes, though. Meghan recently declared she’s in her “concert era” on social media, sharing snapshots of herself and Harry enjoying back-to-back musical events.
After attending Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles, the couple were spotted again at a James Taylor concert in Santa Barbara.
Meghan even posted a sweet behind-the-scenes moment where Harry kissed her cheek during the show, and another shot where James Taylor autographed books for them.
Meghan wore a laid-back look—black pants and a soft cashmere sweater—her signature style of polished yet relaxed.
Her caption summed it all up: “Thank you Beyoncé and team for an amazing concert (and a very fun date night). All love.”
Meghan Continues to Balance Personal Joy With Public Scrutiny
Whether she’s bonding with Nicola Peltz over tea and tough truths, giving the world a peek at her lifestyle empire, or singing her heart out at concerts, Meghan seems determined to live on her own terms.
With another brand release on the horizon, deeper friendships forming in Hollywood circles, and a continued focus on meaningful moments over flashy headlines, Meghan is quietly rewriting the rules—and doing it her way.
