Meghan Markle snagged a massive win by quietly partnering with a UK studio as tension builds around Prince Harry’s bittersweet return to his homeland.
The Duchess of Sussex has partnered with a small, female-owned British studio for her first As Ever product release of 2026, unveiling a limited-edition leather bookmark that immediately flew off the shelves. It marked her first launch since last year’s Holiday Collection.
The bookmark launched Tuesday, January 13, in collaboration with Sbri, a New Forest-based workshop known for handcrafted keepsakes. The piece features the phrase “Fell Asleep Here,” stamped in gold using Meghan’s own calligraphy, and she describes it as “a keepsake designed for those who linger, pause and return.”
Alongside the bookmark, As Ever also released a “A Moment To Unwind Set,” which bundles the bookmark with peppermint tea and sage honey with honeycomb.
The collaboration has clearly paid off for Meghan as it sold out within minutes. But while she celebrates, her husband Prince Harry is preparing for a court battle on UK soil. The Duke of Sussex is expected to travel to London later this month for the start of his High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail.
Although Meghan is not expected to join Harry on the legal visit, speculation continues that she could return to the UK later this summer. Reports suggest she may accompany him for a one-year countdown event ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham given that the right security measures are in place. Also highly speculated in the return of their couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
If so, it would mark her first visit to Britain since 2022, when the couple extended their stay following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
