Duchess of Sussex announces launch of own wine
The rose, described as having 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish', on her As Ever website, will be available to buy next month.
The new range of food items that went on sale on Friday included a 'limited edition orange blossom honey' at a cost of 28 dollars (£20).
Also available were an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging', and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of different herbal teas at £9 for a box of 12 sachets.
The new range went on sale at 4pm UK time, and had all sold out by just before 8pm.
Meanwhile, a message on the homepage of the As Ever site read: 'Our debut Napa Valley rose is launching just in time for summer entertaining.
'With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining, and will be available for purchase on July 1st.'
In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!'
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on the site.
She previously said the original April launch had been 'absolutely extraordinary'.
But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour.
She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'.
In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.'
Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you!
'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'

Busty Blink 182 album model looks worlds away from iconic cover 26 years on
In 1999 punk-rock band Blink 182 enlisted Janine Lindemulder to be the cover star of their hit album Enema of the State. She famously posed in a sexy nurse outfit, complete with a white coat flashing a red bra that put her busty chest on display. Lindemulder pulled a blue latex glove over one hand in the famous image, and stared teasingly at the camera while wearing frosty blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. A vibrant blue butterfly was tattooed on her arm, and she wore a tiny white nurse's cap on top of her blonde highlighted locks. The theme continued on the back cover of the CD, with bandmates Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus, and Tom DeLonge standing in front of her wearing nothing but boxers. Today, some 26 years later, the 56-year-old adult film star looks nearly unrecognizable. She famously posed in a sexy nurse outfit, complete with a white coat flashing a red bra that put her busty chest on display Per The Sun, the Enema of the State was originally slated to be named Turn Around and Cough. Photographer David Goldman noted that it was the inspiration behind the hospital-themed imagery. The album went on to sell more than 15 million copies worldwide and spurred the hit singles What's My Age Again? — whose video also starred Janine — All The Small Things, and Adam's Song. However, following the career highlight, the bombshell's personal life began to unravel. In 2002 Lindenmulder was inducted into the Adult Video News hall of fame, the same year she married West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James, with whom she welcomed daughter Sunny. They divorced in 2004. The model served six months behind bars for failing to pay $300k in taxes and upon her release, she fought Jesse for custody of Sunny alongside his new wife Sandra Bullock. The couple cited Janine's drug use as one reason she was an unfit mother, but she insisted she was on a healthy track, telling ABC News in 2009: 'Sandy doesn't know what goes on in my house. I'd love for her to. 'Please come over, you know, I'll make dinner, you know, let's sit down, [as] two women.' Janine married West Coast Choppers founder Jesse James in 2002, with whom she welcomed daughter Sunny. They divorced in 2004 and in 2009 fought for custody of the child; pictured in 2003 James and Bullock divorced in 2010 after he was caught cheating. Meanwhile, Lindemulder was married to third husband Jeremy from 2009-2010. These days, she looks quite different as she's covered in tattoos and sporting brunette hair. On X, she engages a following of 89,000, promoting her page as '18+.' Her location is tagged as Oregon and there is a link to her OnlyFans account, where fans can subscribe for about $10/month. Her profile description boasts: 'Penthouse Pet '87, Vivid girl, AVN Hall of fame, Blink 182 cover model, multiple award winner including Best G/G and B/G.'

Amanda Bynes looks downcast on rare solo outing after joining OnlyFans
Amanda Bynes looked downcast as she was seen on a rare solo outing after joining X-rated subscription site OnlyFans. The 39-year-old actress was seen looking rather despondent as she hit luxury grocery store Erewhon in Calabasas on Thursday. Bynes kept her look simple as she sported a light grey full zip hoodie with skinny black jeans and matching Vans Old Skool high-top sneakers. She had her hands full as she carried a brown paper bag from the celebrity-favorite organic supermarket along with a pink Elfbar vape. Her blonde locks were worn down as the sides were pinned up to resemble a mullet style haircut as she wore minimal make-up. This comes weeks after it was revealed that Bynes is seeing her OnlyFans venture as a 'career renaissance' and wants to use it to divulge stories from her time at Nickelodeon, a year on from an explosive documentary which exposed the 'toxic environment' at the TV network. Bynes announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site in April, telling fans she was using it merely to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy.' Now, a source close to the former child star has claimed the move will not only afford her the opportunity to make money, share her fashion designs and provide a potential springboard into reality TV, but will also be a safe space to reveal 'what happened from her past at Nickelodeon.' 'Amanda was looking into making money and is convinced that OnlyFans will bring some serious cash her way,' the insider told 'Her intentions are to do this before she seeks any reality show opportunities. 'She understands the stigma around OnlyFans, but she is determined to make this very safe – nothing naughty. She wants to share some of her future designs with her fans, collaborate with them and she also wants to tell stories to people who don't know everything about what happened from her past at Nickelodeon. 'She wants to make it a spot where fans can go and treat it like a meet and greet.' She pursued fashion and art at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, graduating with an Associate's of Art degree in 2014. The insider said she 'doesn't care if friends won't like that she is doing this' as she is 'looking to change course on how she has lived her life the last few years.' They added: 'She is seeing OnlyFans as a bit of a career renaissance.' Bynes announced her OnlyFans debut on Instagram, 15 years after quitting the entertainment business. Bynes, 39, announced her foray into the X-rated subscription site on Tuesday, telling fans she was using it to communicate with them, and insisted she will not be sharing anything 'sleazy' 'I'm doing onlyfans to chat with my fans through dm's,' she wrote alongside a screenshot of her new profile. 'I won't be posting any sleazy content. Excited to join.' She is charging fans more than $50 per month to access her page which currently has mirror selfies. Bynes has maintained a relatively low profile since quitting Hollywood in 2010. In December 2024, she hosted a pop-up art show that was attended by celebrities including Miley Cyrus' younger sister, Noah. It followed a tumultuous time for the troubled star who suffered a highly publicized breakdown in the early 2010s before being placed under a legal conservatorship by her parents for nine years back in 2013. Her downward spiral hit the headlines again last year after the release of Discovery documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids, which shone a light on the 'close' relationship that producer Dan Schneider had with the teenage star. Schneider – who helped create some of the network's most popular shows like All That, Drake & Josh, Henry Danger, Kenan & Kel, Sam & Cat, The Amanda Show, Victorious, Zoey 101, and iCarly – was accused of being overtly inappropriate with Bynes, who is 20 years his junior, as well as with other employees. In the wake of the documentary a video circulated of a bikini-clad Bynes, who was a child at the time, sitting in a hot tub with a fully clothed Schneider. The clip was taken from Bynes' recurring sketch, Amanda's Jacuzzi, which saw the young star interview guests in the bubbling pool. Commentators recalled Schneider and Bynes being 'very close' – including 'physically.' Karyn Finley Thompson, who worked as an editor on several Nickelodeon shows, said: 'There were many times that I saw Amanda sitting behind him, hugging him or giving him like a neck massage or whatever. 'Dan and Amanda had a close relationship, and I didn't think anything different than that. The hot tub scene though I always thought was a little odd.' Schneider departed from the network in 2018 amid numerous allegations of misconduct. At the time, Nickelodeon said it had performed an internal investigation and found that evidence to back up the allegations was 'non-existent.' Schneider, who joined the network in 1993, responded to the allegations made on the documentary in a 19 minute YouTube video in which he admitted that he 'regretted' his past actions and that he owed 'some people a pretty strong apology.' He said he was 'embarrassed' by his behavior in the writer's room and also apologized for his frequent requests for massages from female members of staff while in the studio. But he denied he was involved in any sort of sexual abuse either on the set of, or behind the scenes. In May, two months after the documentary was released, he filed a defamation legal case against the producers, branding the show a 'hit job.' Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV described Nickelodeon in the early 2000s as an 'insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew.'

Meghan Markle claims new As Ever wine and £21 honey has nearly sold out already
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is now selling a selection of new food items, including an apricot spread and a limited edition orange blossom honey, the latter costing £21 per jar Meghan Markle has claimed her brand's new food products - including a £21-per-jar honey - have almost sold out within hours of release. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has expanded her As Ever range with several new items, including a rosé wine, an apricot spread and the limited edition orange blossom honey. She said most of the first batches of these treats almost sold out within minutes of release, a claim which left some fans and critics puzzled. Social media users went online to suggest the former actress was "playing the 'sold out' game", an approach they say salespeople use to encourage customers to swiftly part with cash. However, Prince Harry's wife did enjoy success with the first release of products under the brand - with the likes of a jam, honey, herbal teas and flower sprinkles all snaffled within hours. Suggesting this was the case again, Meghan says in an Instagram video she wishes she had "so much more inventory". She adds: "We are nearly sold out on everything, and I can't believe it... Thanks everybody." In the clip, the mum of two explains how the flower sprinkles have again proved to be the most popular item - just as they were in April. Most items on As Ever's website have "sold out" beside them, including the flower sprinkles and apricot spread. But trolls are still not convinced, writing on Twitter (formerly X) they felt Meghan was assuming "people were stupid". One person posted: "She is playing the 'sold out' game and thinking we are all stupid. You fool no one Meghan Markle." Another shared: "Wait the only new thing she dropped was the apricot spread. WTF. And it sold out after 20 mins. Meghan must think people are really stupid." Among further harsh digs, another critic added: "Wow they have super small quantities. The apricot and tea already sold out." But in full, Meghan says: "We spent so much time making sure we had so much more inventory. That's why we took the time and you guys are doing it again. We are nearly sold out on everything. And I can't believe it - even flower sprinkles which I knew would be the big one again. So that has more inventory than all of it and that is also about to sell out." While the apricot spread and honey went on sale on Friday, the Napa Valley rosé wine will be available from July 1. The rosé is Meghan's first foray into the wine market - with the product sourced from the famous region of California , up the west coast from her Montecito mansion.
