Meghan Markle is preparing to introduce her inaugural wine—a rosé from Napa Valley—on July 1, a date rich in personal history for both her and Prince Harry. This day not only marks the birthday of Princess Diana, who would have turned 64 this year, but it is also when Harry and Meghan first began their conversation in 2016. In his memoir, "Spare," Harry reminisced about this uncanny coincidence, noting that their connection began on what would have been his mother's fifty-fifth birthday.
Reports suggest that this wine launch serves as a subtle message from Meghan to Harry, recognizing the importance of July 1 in their relationship. However, the timing has not been well-received by some critics; royal commentator Victoria Arbiter commented on social media about the significance of the day, leading to a backlash among royal watchers. Some users expressed their disapproval, calling the wine launch "tacky" and accusing Meghan of insensitivity for coordinating her business move with such a meaningful royal date.
Despite the criticism, there are also fans who are enthusiastic about Meghan’s wine debut. Many have taken to social media to express their excitement, with comments ranging from anticipation about the product to a newfound interest in wine, indicating that the Duchess's launch is generating buzz. Described as a bespoke blend with "soft notes of stone fruit" and a refreshing finish, As Ever's rosé is positioned to make a splash just in time for summer.

Trying to capitalize on Diana's birthday is such a low blow.

This is the definition of a publicity stunt, and it feels manipulative.
