Meghan Markle has issued an unexpected message to her fans after the news of her UK return emerged earlier this week. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have lived in the US since 2020, are set to relocate to the UK with their two children later this month.

The couple stepped down as senior working royals in 2020. Despite their return, the couple will not be returning to royal duties when they return to the UK.

In a email sent via her brand As Ever, Meghan shared a message that gave a nod to her "new chapter".

The email read that a new As Ever wine, Napa Valley Reserve Brut, will be released on September 3.

"This thoughtfully crafted sparkling wine offers subtle minerality, graceful notes of fruit, and a bright finish that invites celebration with every glass.

"Our Reserve Brut blends pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot blanc fruit for a celebratory Napa Valley sparkling that is perfect for gifting and for sharing with the ones you love."

The BBC have reported that the family's new home could be in the Cotswolds and the Northampton area. The home would be close to the Spencer family estate.

It has also been reported that Meghan "toured two schools" as options for Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet - now aged seven and five - during her previous visit to the UK.

The couple stepped down from royal duties in early 2020, with the couple not set to return to duties when they return.
