Palm Trees and Tributes: Meghan Markle's Subtle Love Note to Prince Harry

Meghan Markle seemingly paid tribute to her relationship with Prince Harry in a mushy promo post for her lifestyle brand As Ever

Meghan Markle's Subtle Tribute to Prince Harry Sparks Romance Rumors

In a move that has left fans swooning, Meghan Markle seemingly paid a heartfelt tribute to her whirlwind romance with Prince Harry in a sultry promo post for her lifestyle brand As Ever. And if that wasn't enough, she also used the opportunity to plug their luxurious rosé wine, leaving many wondering: is this a clever marketing ploy or a genuine declaration of love?

The Duchess of Sussex's Instagram post featured a stunning silhouette of two palm trees against a vibrant pink-hued sky as the sun sets in California. The accompanying caption read: "When a rosé sunset matches your pour..." - a subtle nod to one of her earlier interviews where she revealed how palm trees hold a special significance for the couple.

The post appeared to be a subtle reference to one of Meghan's earlier interviews when she revealed how palm trees are connected to her and Prince Harry's love story

Speaking to The Cut in 2022, Meghan shared the heartwarming tale of how Prince Harry was immediately drawn to their Montecito mansion because of the majestic Dr. Seussian palm trees growing in the center of the lawn. "One of the first things my husband saw when we walked around the house was those two palm trees," she gushed. "See how they're connected at the bottom? He goes, 'My love, it's us.'"

The sweet sentimentality didn't stop there. Meghan also revealed that their three-year-old son Archie would often chat with the trees as if they were his parents, saying "Hi, Momma. Hi, Papa." The image of this tender moment is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts.

But what's truly remarkable about this post is the clever way Meghan wove together her love story with Prince Harry and her passion for their lifestyle brand As Ever. In February, she unveiled a stunning new logo featuring a palm tree with two hummingbirds hovering on either side - a design that may hold more significance than initially meets the eye.

Late on Monday night, a new post on the business's official Instagram page showed the silhouette of two palm trees against the backdrop of a pink-hued sky as the sunset in California

According to insiders, Prince Harry has always been fascinated by hummingbirds and even wrote in his memoir Spare about how one once flew into their home after Queen Elizabeth II's passing. He pondered whether it was a "sign" or a "resurrection bird," sparking theories that this logo is more than just a marketing tool.

As Meghan continues to build her lifestyle empire, she's also navigating the complex world of celebrity friendships - and some of them are getting a little awkward. Khloe Kardashian recently shared snaps from Kylie Jenner's birthday party, which included a deluxe hamper from As Ever featuring bottles of rosé wine. However, in a stunning oversight, Meghan wasn't tagged in the post.

Meghan delightedly reposted the snap with a cheeky caption: "Hey hey, all my girls with a K" - but fans quickly called out the Kardashian clan for their apparent snub. One wag quipped: "When you send something over cuz you have to miss the party, except Meghan was never invited to the party."

Meghan also gave a sweet nod to her romance with Prince Harry when she unveiled the logo of her lifestyle brand As Ever back in February

But despite this blunder, it seems Meghan is still riding high on her 44th birthday celebrations. She shared a heartwarming photo of herself blowing out candles on a stunning cake at Beverly Hills hotspot Funke - a popular haunt for A-listers like Kim Kardashian, Michelle Obama, and Beyoncé.

And in other news, sources claim that Harry and Meghan have signed a new "multi-year, first-look deal" with Netflix - but this time, it's understood to be worth significantly less than their previous $100 million contract. PR expert Mark Borkowski dubbed the deal a "downgrade," stating: "Netflix are not going to expose themselves to those budgets again."

The couple's new content will include a second season of Meghan's lifestyle show With Love, Meghan later this month, as well as a Christmas special in December. But with their Netflix deal seemingly taking a backseat, it remains to be seen what the future holds for this power couple.

The hummingbirds in the logo may also have a connection to Harry's family, as he previously wrote in his memoir Spare that a hummingbird 'got into his house' right after his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022

One thing is certain, though: Meghan Markle knows how to spin a tale that captures hearts and sparks romance rumors - and we can't help but wonder if this is more than just clever marketing.

It comes after Meghan had an awkward moment with the Kardashian family as she celebrated the famed family using her As Ever merchandise

Khloe Kardashian, 41, shared snaps from sister Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday party over the weekend, which included a deluxe hamper from the former working Royal's luxury brand

The hamper included bottles of wine, preserves and an array of vegetables - with Kardashian seemingly forgetting to tag Meghan in the post

Meghan delightedly reposted the snap writing 'Hey hey, all my girls with a K' but fans called out the famed family's failure to acknowledge Meghan'
