Meghan Markle Wears Her Cartier Love Bracelet In A New ‘As Ever’ Advertisement
Right now, the Duchess of Sussex is fully invested in her lifestyle brand, which launched not long after she starred in her own at-home, DIY Netflix series, With Love, Meghan.
After receiving lots of online backlash surrounding her first launch of products, the former actress has entered a rebranding period with her products. Over the last few weeks, As Ever has been sharing new promotional pictures and videos now starring Meghan herself, where she wears chic outfits while displaying her products, sometimes giving some personal insight into what inspired her to create them, and even what her family likes most about them.
In one of her latest ads for the brand, which was shared on its Instagram and other social media profiles this week, the 44-year-old filmed herself showing off its wines, including the “Refreshing Sauvignon Blanc, Celebratory Brut, and Light and bright Rosé.” In the video, she’s wearing a neutral, tailored blazer, which she paired with gold accessories. In a close-up shot where she’s pouring a glass of wine, there was a clear view of her Cartier Love Bracelet on her arm, which was famously gifted to her by her ex, producer and talent agent Trevor Engelson.

Social Media Users React To Meghan's Bracelet
The newer social media posts for As Ever have been gaining a lot of attention online, especially now that the mom-of-two is starring in several of them. This one stood out in particular, however, when those who have been following her story noticed the Cartier bracelet.
Inside sources previously revealed that the Love Bracelet, which costs around $7,000-$8,000, was given to her by her ex, who she was married to from 2011 to 2014, just around two years before she started dating Prince Harry. Despite their split, over the years, it's become one of her signature pieces of jewelry, and she's worn it throughout the years.
Throughout the years, social media users have called her out for her decision to keep wearing it, even around her current husband, and that all reignited when the new As Ever video was shared.
"Why oh why does she feature the Cartier bracelet so much?" asked a Reddit user.
"A close-up of the jewelry from her ex-husband that she wears on the daily...Thanks for the laughs as ever, Megsie!" commented another.
One user called the choice "so bizarre," as another added, "That Cartier Love Bracelet makes me laugh."
