Meghan Markle Allegedly Sent King Charles a Gift Box of Treats to Mend Royal Relationships

The timing aligned with Charles and Camilla’s 20th anniversary and comes after the release of her hit Netflix show “With Love, Meghan.”

On April 2nd, Meghan Markle launched her new products under As Ever, which quickly sold out within an hour. Despite the high pricing, there was strong public interest in her offerings, indicating a positive reception to her brand.

Meghan is reportedly extending an olive branch to King Charles in a heartfelt and thoughtful way.

Royal correspondent Neil Sean shared insights with Fox News Digital, mentioning that a special package from As Ever was delivered to Clarence House, the official residence of King Charles III. This move was perceived as a strategic step towards reconciliation within the royal family.

The package reportedly included a mix of “jams, honey, crêpe mix, and various assortments,” along with a handwritten note from the Duchess of Sussex herself.

The gesture is said to reflect Meghan’s deep respect for her father-in-law, and royal commentators believe this act could be Meghan’s way of “building bridges with the royal family” since stepping back from royal duties alongside Prince Harry in 2020.

“I understand how she may not feel respected still, but 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,” said royal analyst Ian Pelham Turner.

“Perhaps conciliatory gifts from the hostess with the mostess could shine,” he added.

British broadcaster and royal photographer Helena Chard suggested to the news outlet that the timing of Meghan’s alleged gesture to the king couldn’t be more fitting, as Charles recently marked two decades of marriage to Queen Camilla.

“The curious of us wonder whether Meghan sent a [box] of her As Ever edibles to King Charles,” Chard said. “However, none of my royal sources have confirmed either way… Charles and Queen Camilla’s 20th wedding anniversary is the perfect time for Meghan to highlight her brand products to her royal connections. [And] King Charles loves top-quality food. He offers quality preserves through his Highgrove Estate and the royal household’s official store.”

Chard added that confirmation may only come if “senior royal aide, Sir Clive Alderton, records a gift from Meghan, a gift which is passed on to staff or a charity.”

For now, Chard remarked, “King Charles will be relieved that his daughter-in-law is trying to keep the wolves from the door. However, this will be a fleeting thought as it’s business as usual for the king.”

Meanwhile, royal commentator Hilary Fordwich also shared with the outlet that any package addressed to a royal residence would first pass through the hands of palace aides, and reactions to Meghan’s rumored gift may vary behind the scenes.

“King Charles III appreciates organic and artisanal foods,” Fordwich explained. “He’s long been dedicated to sustainable farming.”

However, Fordwich noted that if the monarch, “who is susceptible to sentimental leanings and does wish reconciliation with his son, were to accept such a gift, he is surrounded by courtiers who would recognize it as an insecure, calculated gesture by Meghan Markle.”

Meghan officially debuted her lifestyle brand, As Ever, on April 2, unveiling a curated selection of eight items that reflect her passion for cooking, entertaining, and hosting.

The collection featured small-batch products in limited quantities, including a crêpe mix, shortbread cookie mix, various teas, flower sprinkles, honey, and a raspberry spread.

Following As Ever’s debut, the brand sold out in under an hour despite the premium pricing of some items.

The overwhelming response prompted a heartfelt message from the Duchess of Sussex on Instagram.

“Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!” Meghan wrote.
