Meghan Markle has found major success with her lifestyle brand, As Ever, selling jams, jellies, baking mixes, and teas. The mother-of-two is now expanding her product line into alcoholic beverages, having announced last week that As Ever will soon be coming out with a rosé. The fruity beverage is dropping on July 1st, the same day as Princess Diana’s birthday, which some fans think is a purposeful move—and not a good one. Keep reading for more information.
As Ever’s announcement of the beverage describes it as having “soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish” and called it a “bespoke blend” that’s perfect for a warm summer evening. The rosé will be available for purchase on July 1st, which is the same dat as what would’ve been Princess Diana’s 64th birthday, which is coincidentally the same day that she and Prince Harry met.
However, while some see this as a sweet tribute to her mother-in-law, others think it’s quite disrespectful, given the accident that tragically killed Princess Diana involved a drunk driver.
