Meghan Markle has sparked fresh controversy after sending a gift box from her 'As Ever' lifestyle brand to a New York influencer known for fierce attacks on Prince William, Kate Middleton and the wider Royal Family, a move critics say has left the Prince and Princess of Wales 'fuming' and reopened tensions just as relations appeared to be thawing.
Speculation about a tentative reset had been building in recent weeks. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly planning a visit to Britain linked to the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games 2027, fuelling talk that Markle might be looking to cool hostilities with King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Waleses.
