Meghan Markle has reportedly sent a gift box from her lifestyle brand As Ever to King Charles to mend the royal rift via GB News.
Royal expert Neil Sean stated “a sample box of delights from As Ever has been delivered to Clarence House with a note”, according to “a very well-placed source”.
Sean claimed the gift box included “jams, honey, crêpes mix and various assortments” from Meghan’s As Ever collection. Insiders have told the royal correspondent that the Duchess of Sussex holds the King, 76, in “such high regard”.
The gesture follows Meghan sending similar keepsake boxes with handwritten notes to celebrity friends to celebrate her brand’s launch. Some royal experts told Fox News the gesture could be Meghan’s way of “building bridges with the Royal Family” following her departure with Prince Harry in 2020.
“Tiny gestures like this are her way of showing compassion for what the king is going through and helping to rebuild bridges between Prince William, Prince Harry and the King,” royal expert Ian Pelham Turner said.
King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer in February 2024.
British broadcaster Helena Chard said that the timing could be ideal as the King recently celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with Queen Camilla. The King has also recently been on an official visit to Italy.
