Meghan Markle is making headlines once again as she steps into the world of wine with the latest brand launch under her lifestyle label, As Ever. But even before the rosé hits the shelves, royal watchers and experts are weighing in — and not everyone is raising a glass just yet.
Rosé Wine Sparks Buzz — and Caution
At 43, Meghan Markle is diving into a new product category, introducing a rosé wine that joins her already viral jam collection. However, ahead of this brand launch, she’s been urged by royal commentator Hugo Vickers to tread carefully and avoid common pitfalls that come with celebrity-endorsed products.
Royal Expert Urges Meghan to Avoid Branding Missteps
Vickers, a respected voice on all things Windsor, issued a gentle but firm warning. He explained that Meghan must ensure her wine offering doesn’t come across as just another celebrity label. “If you start taking other people’s products and putting your name on it,” he cautioned, “even by accident, you can get into trouble.” His comments came as the Duchess continues to grow her business empire.
Brand Launch Comes With Expectations — and Skepticism
Meghan Markle was urged to find a unique angle for her product, especially as the market for celebrity wines becomes more crowded. Vickers shared his personal hesitation: “I must admit, I wouldn’t be tempted to go for hers,” noting that consumers often stick with familiar wines they already trust. The message is clear — if Meghan hopes to stand out, she must avoid the predictable pitfalls of celebrity branding.
Online Reactions Mixed Ahead of Meghan Markle’s Brand Launch
Despite the critique, Meghan Markle’s supporters continue to champion her efforts. Her previous jam drop went viral across social media platforms, and the teasers for the rosé have already drawn attention. Still, the Duchess has been urged to stay mindful of how the public and critics perceive her growing product line ahead of this important brand launch.
Lessons in Branding: Avoiding Pitfalls in a Competitive Market

Authenticity and originality will be key ingredients for this brand launch to succeed.
Final Thoughts: Meghan Markle's Brand Faces New Challenges
