Focus Elsewhere on Sussex Day

Rather than acknowledging Sussex Day, Meghan used the date to unveil new developments for her lifestyle brand, As Ever. In a June 16 newsletter, she thanked followers for their overwhelming support after the brand’s successful debut.

“First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary,” Meghan wrote. “We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise.”

She also revealed the next product launch date: “We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we’re going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises. More details and exact timing will be shared soon.”

Prince Harry Speaks—But Not About Sussex

While Meghan focused on her business, Harry also made headlines on the same day, not for Sussex Day but for delivering a video message in fluent German. His message was in honor of Germany’s first-ever Veterans Day, further highlighting the couple’s absence from UK-related affairs.

Criticism surrounding their use of the Sussex title continues to grow, particularly among those who believe the couple has distanced themselves too far from the region to still hold such an honor.
