Meghan Markle has launched a new product amid continued speculation over whether her trip to the UK with Prince Harry and their children will go ahead next month. 

The Duchess of Sussex, 44, returned to social media on the Instagram account of her lifestyle brand, As Ever, to reveal that her Lavender Honey will be on sale for the first time from Tuesday, alongside re-released jars of her $28 Orange Blossom Honey. 

Meghan called her new product a "floral gift of summer", describing it as "softly floral with a delicate warmth that lingers beautifully". 

The Duchess herself did not feature in any of the photos, but she shared a selection of beautifully arranged products on Instagram.

It's the first time Meghan has shared anything on either of her accounts – her other Instagram account is her personal one, @meghan – amid the latest reports about her upcoming trip to the UK. 

Will Prince Harry bring Meghan, Archie and Lilibet to the UK?

It comes after Harry said he is "exploring every available option" to bring his family, including the couple's children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to the UK next month.

The family was due to stay at a mixture of private and royal residences during their visit, which centres around several engagements linked to Harry's Invictus Games, but the Duke is now understood to be reconsidering his options. No formal decision has been reached over his security arrangements.

The most recent statement from Harry's spokesperson read: "The Duke continues to explore every available option to enable the visit to proceed safely and to give his children the opportunity to enjoy the UK."

Harry and Meghan's 24-hour, automatic and taxpayer-funded security was removed when they stepped down as senior royals in 2020.

Since then, Harry has challenged the Home Office over the situation in court and is waiting for the outcome of a review agreed by the Home Secretary. 

What will Harry and Meghan do on their trip to the UK?

The Duke of Sussex will begin his trip with an Invictus Games Foundation event at Chatham House, which will bring together experts, policymakers and members of the Invictus Community. 

The next engagement will potentially involve Meghan, with the pair carrying out their first joint engagements in the UK since 2020 by meeting Chelsea pensioners at the Royal Hospital Chelsea.

As Patron of Wellchild, Harry is also due to visit the Birmingham Children's Hospital to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first WellChild Nurse.

At the NEC, Harry will watch and take part in a series of events alongside competitors from previous Invictus Games.

There are also some potential family plans, though these have not been confirmed. Harry will potentially bring his children to visit their late grandmother, Princess Diana, and her final resting place on Althorp Estate, according to The Sun. 

It is believed that during his visit, Harry will find time to see his father King Charles, whom he last saw in person in September 2025.
