Meghan Markle just got one of her friends in big trouble with her latest product launch.<\/p>\n
After weeks of teasers, the Duchess of Sussex<\/a>, 44, and her lifestyle brand, As Ever, has finally released its holiday collection<\/a>. The festive set includes jams, honeys, candles, teas and a new wine. Despite another product \u201csmelling like her Royal wedding,\u201d<\/a> the line\u2019s 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut has caused the most commotion and it\u2019s not because of the $89 price tag.<\/p>\n To mark the launch, Meghan\u2019s friends Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Victoria Jackson opened the doors of their bookstore, Godmothers, allowing the actress to showcase her products in person for her fans.<\/p>\n When As Ever took to Instagram with a promotional shot of the pop-up store in California<\/a>, a few fans had a problem with the open wine bottles in the shot. They had accused the bookshop of selling alcohol without a license and claimed to have brought this to the attention of the authorities.<\/p>\n Some of Meghan\u2019s followers claimed to have reported the business to the local council over a breach of licensing laws, especially after they had realized Godmothers\u2019 application for an alcohol license had not yet been approved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Before the sparkling wine was added to the brand\u2019s catalog, the most recent addition to the line was a Sauvignon Blanc wine, following the successful launch of her 2023 and 2024 Napa Valley Rose\u0301.<\/p>\n In the midst of the beverage releases, her lifestyle brand was also working on a deal with Netflix, adding to Meghan and her husband Prince Harry<\/a>‘s previous agreement with the streaming platform.<\/p>\n This summer, Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, had inked a new “multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects” with Netflix. The couple\u2019s agreement with the streaming platform guarantees Netflix the first dibs at any of their upcoming projects.<\/p>\n
