The Duchess of Sussex , 43, took to her Instagram Stories as she filmed herself opening a crate of her newly released rosé, which featured three bottles of the Napa Valley wine

ROYAL ROGUE! Meghan Markle Sends Cryptic Birthday Message to 'Ladies Near and Far' Amid Feud with Queen Camilla

The drama is heating up in the royal world, folks! As Queen Camilla turns 78 today, her stepson-in-law Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle has sparked a firestorm on social media with a mysterious Instagram post that's left everyone wondering who she's really trying to reach out to.

In a video that's gone viral, the Duchess of Sussex appears to be filming herself opening a crate of her new rosé wine, As Ever, which just so happens to be made in California's celebrated Napa Valley. But what's got everyone talking is the caption: "Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies."

Meghan Markle sent her 'birthday love' with a carefully packaged box of As Ever wine in a heartwarming post dedicated to 'her ladies near and far' - cryptically shared on the same date that her husband Prince Harry's stepmother Queen Camilla turns 78. Both pictured in 2018

Now, we all know that Queen Camilla's birthday is a big deal, especially considering her tumultuous relationship with Prince Harry, who famously called her "wicked" in his autobiography Spare. And let's not forget that Meghan has been at the center of some major drama with the royal family over the years.

So, could it be that Meghan is trying to send a subtle olive branch to Queen Camilla? Or is this post actually aimed at someone (or something) entirely different? We may never know for sure, but what's clear is that Meghan's cryptic message has sparked a frenzy of speculation and gossip on social media.

Meanwhile, Prince William and Kate Middleton have taken a more diplomatic approach by wishing Queen Camilla a happy birthday with a sweet post featuring a photo of the monarch. The caption reads: "Happy Birthday to Her Majesty." It seems like they're trying to put aside their differences and show some love for Queen Camilla on her special day.

But let's get back to Meghan's mysterious post, shall we? According to sources, Prince Harry has been meeting with his father King Charles' communications secretary to discuss a possible rapprochement between the two. Could this be the beginning of a new chapter in their complicated relationship?

THE ROYAL FAMILY'S BIGGEST FEUDS

For those who may have missed it, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's departure from the royal family was met with widespread criticism and controversy. The couple had been experiencing increasing pressure to conform to the traditional norms of the British monarchy, which ultimately led them to make the difficult decision to step back from their duties.

Since then, there have been reports of a deep rift between Prince Harry and his father King Charles, who has been said to be "hurt" by his son's departure. But in recent months, there have been whispers of a possible thawing of relations between the two.

THE ROYAL OVER-SEA'S LEAGUE

In a surprise move, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's representatives met with King Charles' communications secretary at a private members' club in London to discuss a potential reconciliation. The meeting, which was attended by three key players from both sides, marked the first time that the two families have come together to discuss their differences.

While the details of the meeting remain unclear, insiders suggest that it could be the start of a new chapter in the royal family's complicated history. Will we see a reconciliation between Prince Harry and his father King Charles? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the drama is far from over!

QUEEN CAMILLA'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

To mark her special day, Queen Camilla has released a stunning new portrait taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson. The monarch is seen smiling and leaning against a fence at Ray Mill, her private residence in Wiltshire.

In the photo, Queen Camilla wears a bright teal dress with colorful bird motifs, which is said to be one of her favorite outfits. She also sports a subtle makeup look and a pair of gold earrings, completing her elegant ensemble.

MEGHAN'S WINE POST

As we mentioned earlier, Meghan Markle's cryptic Instagram post has sent shockwaves through the royal family. In the video, she appears to be filming herself opening a crate of her new rosé wine, As Ever.

The caption reads: "Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies." But what's got everyone talking is the fact that Queen Camilla's birthday falls on the same day as Meghan's own birthday celebration in just over two weeks' time.

Is this post a clever attempt to send a message of goodwill to Queen Camilla? Or is it something entirely different? We may never know for sure, but one thing is certain: Meghan's wine post has sparked a frenzy of speculation and gossip on social media!
