Meghan Markle scored a massive win by quietly partnering with a British studio as excitement builds around Prince Harry’s bittersweet return to his homeland.
The Duchess of Sussex has partnered with a small, woman-owned British studio for her first As Ever product release in 2026, unveiling a limited-edition leather bookmark that immediately flew off the shelves. It marked her first launch since last year’s Holiday Collection.
The bookmark was launched on Tuesday 13 January in collaboration with Sbri, a New Forest-based workshop known for handmade souvenirs. The piece features the phrase “Fell Sleep Here” stamped in gold using Meghan’s own calligraphy, and she describes it as “a keepsake designed for those who linger, pause and return.”
Alongside the bookmark, As Ever also released an “A Moment To Unwind Set”, which bundles the bookmark with peppermint tea and sage honey with honeycomb.
The collaboration has clearly paid off for Meghan as it sold out within minutes. But while she celebrates, her husband Prince Harry is preparing for a court battle on British soil. The Duke of Sussex is expected to travel to London later this month to start his High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of Daily Mail.
Although Meghan is not expected to join Harry on the legal visit, speculation continues that she may return to the UK later this summer. Reports suggest she may accompany him to a one-year countdown event ahead of the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, once the right security measures are in place. Also much speculated about the return of their couple’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
If so, it would mark her first visit to Britain since 2022, when the couple extended their stay following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
