The Duchess of Sussex's latest product launch features a nod to the UK amid speculation Meghan could make her first trip back to her and Prince Harry's former home this summer.
Meghan has launched an 18-dollar (£13.40) bespoke leather bookmark with her lifestyle brand As Ever, which was made in collaboration with a New Forest-based workshop.
The black limited-edition product features a gold inscription of "Fell Asleep Here" in Meghan's signature calligraphy.
The bookmark, which sold out soon after it launched on Tuesday, is said to be made using "sustainably sourced leather" and is described as "keepsake designed for those who linger, pause and return".
The product description states: "Crafted from supple black leather and finished with gold lettering written in Meghan's handwriting, it rests neatly between pages to mark exactly where you left off.
"This limited-edition piece was made to last - a small, thoughtful detail meant to stay with you for years."

The Duchess has branched out the collection to include homeware since she first launched As Ever in spring. As well as fruit-based preserves, herbal teas and edible flower sprinkles, the line now includes candles and wine.

Return to the UK?
There have been reports that Meghan could join her husband Harry in the UK this summer for the one-year-to-go event ahead of next year's Invictus Games in Birmingham.
If so, it would be the Duchess's first trip since 2022, when the Sussexes had to extend their visit because of the death of Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Charles and Harry are now said to be in regular contact despite their past difficulties, but the monarch is expected to be in Scotland for his traditional post-Christmas stay when the trial is due to start on 19 January, although the date and timetable have yet to be finalised.

ANL "vehemently" denies the "preposterous allegations" and is defending the legal action.
