Meghan Markle recently added a touch of musical delight to her holiday preparations by cranking up a song from Taylor Swift’s latest album. The Duchess of Sussex, known for her impeccable style and taste, shared a glimpse into her world on October 28th through an Instagram Stories post. In the video, Meghan appeared to be in high spirits as she listened to Swift’s track “Opalite” in the background.
In the video snippet, Meghan’s hand can be seen moving a mug near a laptop on a desk in her home office, with the screen displaying her lifestyle brand, As ever. The camera then pans past a candle from the As ever holiday collection, with one of the candles being inspired by her royal wedding to Prince Harry. Meghan also shared a heartwarming moment with her two rescue dogs, Momma Mia and Pula, providing a glimpse into her life beyond the royal spotlight.
Since relocating to California with her husband Prince Harry and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, Meghan has been actively pursuing her passion for creating a variety of lifestyle products. The debut of As ever’s holiday collection was eagerly anticipated by fans, featuring signature fruit spreads, honey, mulling spice kits, a vintage Napa Valley brut, and hand-poured candles—a new addition to the brand’s offerings.
The choice of “Opalite” as the soundtrack for the video was a subtle nod to mark the launch of Meghan’s holiday collection. The song is the third track on Taylor Swift’s album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” released on October 3rd. “Opalite” is a heartfelt ballad that reflects love blossoming after a period of heartbreak, believed to be dedicated to Swift’s fiancé, Travis Kelce, whose birthstone is an opal.
Meghan’s affinity for Taylor Swift’s music is evident, as she had previously attended one of Swift’s Eras Tour shows in Los Angeles in August 2023. During the concert, Meghan enthusiastically joined the crowd in singing along to hits like “You Belong with Me,” showcasing her fan-girl side. Additionally, Meghan showed her support for Swift and Kelce by liking their engagement announcement on Instagram, a gesture that was also echoed by other members of the royal family.
As Meghan continues to carve out her path beyond the confines of royal duties, her foray into the world of lifestyle branding has been met with enthusiasm and curiosity. With each new product release, she brings a touch of elegance and personal flair that resonates with her followers worldwide. As the holiday season approaches, Meghan’s fans eagerly anticipate the next offering from the As ever collection, eager to add a touch of royal charm to their celebrations.
