Meghan Markle’s As Ever brand has posted a gushing birthday tribute as the entrepreneur turns 44 years old.
The Duchess’ own lifestyle company took to Instagram with a black and white snapshot of the mom-of-two wearing a sundress and hat as she beamed into the distance.
The caption enthused about Meghan and her role leading the company.
‘Celebrating the woman behind it all,’ it read.
‘She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder.’
It was then re-shared on As Ever’s Instagram Story alongside two champagne flutes clinking together in celebration.
Meghan launched her lifestyle brand earlier this year, releasing the first products in April, which included a range of teas, a raspberry spread, and a limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb, amongst other things.
She followed it up with an apricot spread and another honey, and in July, she expanded into the world of alcohol when she dropped her own wine – the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé.

Each release has been met with fierce excitement from her fans, and every product has sold out pretty quickly.
And her birthday comes just days after she announced another product coming to her As Ever line.
Last week, the company revealed that following the buzz surrounding the 2023 Napa Valley Rosé, it will be launching another wine, with a slight tweak… calling it the 2024 Napa Valley Rosé.
It vowed that it will pretty much taste the same as As Ever’s first wine.
‘It marries the same harmony of notes from our first blend and creates an elegant medley of delicate yet memorable flavor,’ read a press release.
‘You’ll want to clink glasses with friends as the sun sets, toasting to a summer of joy.
‘Barefoot or in sandals, dressed up or dressed down, this rosé may become your favorite accessory for alfresco lunches and dinners at dusk.’
In the release, As Ever listed some of the positive feedback customers had given the company over its first rosé, which included comments like, ’10 out of 10,’ ‘perfect,’ and ‘elevated flavor.’

‘This affirmed all of the love, time and effort our team, and our founder, poured into curating this blend to evoke the sun drenched spirit of Napa Valley, and the breathtaking tenor of the California Coast,’ As Ever added.
‘Thank you for filling our cup. Now it’s time for us to fill your glass! We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week.’
Last month, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that the alcoholic beverage is made by Fairwinds Estate, a California winery that creates bespoke wines for celebrities.
The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is described on the bottle as a ‘delicately balanced rosé with soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish.’
It has a 14.5 percent alcohol by volume for the 750ML bottle.
The Daily Mail FEMAIL team tried the rosé and while the wine was smooth, we couldn’t easily detect the notes of stone fruit. In fact, it tasted quite bland, and almost water-y.
In addition, the rosé had some acidic notes, leaving a somewhat uncomfortable sensation at the back of our throats after swallowing.
In the end, the verdict was the wine lacked flavor and tasted affordable and ordinary. It wasn’t terrible – but it certainly wasn’t great.
