Meghan Markle has appeared to draw fresh attention to the growing tension surrounding King Charles and Earl Spencer after a new social media message from her team.
The Duchess of Sussex's latest update promoted a popular As Ever bookmark, but the timing and wording quickly attracted attention because of its apparent connection to Earl Spencer's new book about his sister, Princess Diana.
Meghan's lifestyle brand shared an update announcing the return of its best-selling bookmark in a new navy-blue design. The message described it as a keepsake and included a reminder to hold something close.
On its own, the post was simply a promotional message. However, its timing has led some royal watchers to connect it with the intense discussion surrounding Earl Spencer's memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister.
The book has generated major attention because Spencer makes a number of claims about Princess Diana, her relationship with the Royal Family and events following her death. Buckingham Palace has responded to some of the claims, while Spencer has continued to stand by his account.
Recent reports have also focused on Spencer's comments about Harry and Meghan. He has said that the treatment of the Sussexes by the press reminds him of the way his late sister Diana was treated.
That background has made Meghan's latest message particularly interesting to royal followers. Some reports have interpreted the social media post as an indirect sign of support for Diana's brother, although there is no direct statement from Meghan confirming that this was her intention.
The development comes during an already sensitive period for the Royal Family. Earl Spencer's claims about King Charles have prompted a rare Palace response, with Buckingham Palace saying that grief can affect memories and recollections many years after an event. Spencer has rejected the suggestion that his memories are unreliable and has maintained that he was accurately recalling what happened.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan's relationship with members of Diana's family has continued to attract attention during their return to the UK. Spencer has also publicly spoken about the Sussexes and their treatment by the media.
For now, Meghan's bookmark message remains a promotional post, and there is no confirmed evidence that it was deliberately intended as a message to King Charles or an endorsement of Spencer's claims.
