Meghan Markle and The Kardashians: Inside an Interesting Friendship Between the Sussexes and Billionaire Clan

In the glittering world of showbiz, celebrity families often cross paths, their lives intertwining in ways both surprising and headline-grabbing. Such is the case with Meghan Markle and the Kardashians, whose lives recently collided in a subtle yet notable gesture: the Duchess of Sussex sending tokens of love to the members of the billionaire clan. While on the surface it seemed like a simple act of kindness, the move hints at a deeper, layered history between two of the most talked-about California families. But before that, a full-fledged view of the earlier-mentioned gesture by the Suits star.
Meghan Markle recently sparked buzz in the celebrity world by sending special As Ever products to none other than Kris Jenner and Khloé Kardashian.

Kris Jenner recently revealed receiving a delivery of Meghan Markle’s newest wine drop via Instagram, where she expressed gratitude to the ex-royalty for her thoughtful gesture. Before Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian had already featured on Markle’s list of celebrities to receive her As Ever products, as the youngest Kardashian sister received wine, jams, and more from her not very long ago. Khloé, much like her mom, also shared a picture of the goodies on her social media, expressing her gratitude, establishing that love and respect run both ways between the Sussexes and the reality TV royalties.
For those unversed, Meghan Markle’s alcoholic beverages, which greeted Kris and Khloé, belonged to the August 5th batch of the restocked rosé following its April debut, when the golden liquid sold out in under an hour. The wine comes in three-bottle packs costing $90. A single bottle, meanwhile, retails for $30. As Khloé and Kris posted about receiving the product in discussion, Meghan Markle reposted their stories on her social media, writing, “Hey, hey, all my girls with a K.” The mutual show of a bond between Markle and the Kardashians rightly has fans curious if they share a history or if their connection is something completely new.
Did Meghan Markle know the Kardashians for years, or is this gift the start of a fresh tie?
Meghan Markle sparks speculation about Kardashian-Jenner alliance
Meghan Markle and the Kardashian-Jenner family do have a prior history, though not deep enough to call them acquaintances. Markle’s recent gift seems to signal the start of something entirely new. The small link between Markle and the Kardashians, for the record, includes her mother, Doria Ragland, snapping a photo with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the TIAH 5th Anniversary soiree, hinting at a run-in. Markle is also a longtime friend of Oprah Winfrey, who recently vacationed with Kris Jenner. With nothing major tying the families, as can be drawn, Markle’s gesture feels part thoughtful, part smart marketing move.
Meghan Markle sending As Ever wine to the Kardashian-Jenners combines a thoughtful gesture with smart brand visibility. Though her rosé typically sells out within hours, this latest launch lingered slightly longer, hinting at a wane of demand according to some, demanding some kind of promotion. By placing her wine, with a Princess Diana connection, in celebrity hands, Markle may be ensuring As Ever remains on top of everyone’s mind, reinforcing her brand’s prestige while introducing it into influential circles; proof that even popular products stand to gain from strategic marketing moves. Markle might want to tread carefully, though, as her attempt to connect with the Kardashians could unravel Prince Harry’s almost-romantic history with one of them.
Royal romance meets Hollywood intrigue. Did Prince Harry, who is currently negotiating a reunion with this family, have a fling with a Kardashian sister, or is this purely a gossip-driven rumor?
Prince Harry’s rumored romance with a Kardashian sister explained
In July 2016, Prince Harry met Meghan Markle, and the two quickly became inseparable, sparking a high-profile romance that continues to captivate the world even today. Yet, a surprising twist of fate almost redirected his path once. Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, per Marie Claire, recounted a 2016 party at British comic Jimmy Carr’s house in April, where she said she encountered Kourtney Kardashian alongside Princess Beatrice. A self-proclaimed Kardashian superfan, Ryan quickly urged Kourtney to leave her then-partner Scott Disick and suggested an alternative romantic prospect in the form of Prince Harry.
