Prince Harry has been sent a subtle message from Meghan Markle in the Duchess of Sussex's latest move.
The Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand, As Ever, will release its first rosé wine on July 1, marking the company's debut alcoholic offering.
The wine is described as a "bespoke blend" featuring "soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish."
July 1 marks a personal milestone for the Sussexes. According to Prince Harry's memoir Spare, July 1, 2016, was the day he first contacted Meghan after seeing her photograph on Instagram.

Harry revealed he had asked a mutual friend for her contact details on what would have been his mother's 55th birthday.
The timing of their initial connection on Diana's birthday has now been reflected in the choice of launch date for Meghan's rosé wine.
The couple exchanged phone numbers and continued their conversation via text late into the night.
In Spare, Harry wrote: "It occurred to me how uncanny, how surreal, how bizarre, that this marathon conversation should have begun on July 1, 2016. My mother's fifty-fifth birthday."

The Duke of Sussex described feeling struck by the extraordinary timing of their first exchange. The couple went on to marry in May 2018 and now have two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four.
The choice to launch As Ever's rosé on this anniversary date appears to acknowledge the profound significance July 1 holds in their relationship.
Meghan recently discussed how her new business ventures have rekindled early relationship dynamics with Harry.
In a March interview with People magazine, she explained: "My husband met me when I had The Tig, and I see this spark in his eye when he sees me doing the thing that I was doing when he first met me."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became engaged in 2017 after meeting the year prior.
PALATEST ROYAL NEWS:
Princess Diana was born on July 1, 1961.
PAShe described the current period as "almost like a honeymoon period again," noting how Harry watches her work on creative projects just as he did when they first met.
"I think he loves watching as much as I love doing that creative process. It's just been fun. This is who I've always been," Meghan said.
As Ever announced its wine launch on June 20, positioning rosé as ideal for summer entertaining. The timing appears carefully chosen, with the wine becoming available just as the British summer season reaches its peak.
This marks a significant expansion for Meghan's lifestyle brand, which has been developing various products since its inception.
