Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, has reflected on her family's move back to Britain in a holiday message.
The 45-year-old royal wrote about "an autumn of new adventures" in the 2026 festive catalogue for her lifestyle brand As Ever, after relocating with Prince Harry and their children in August.
Her note looks back on family life and travel.
She mentioned "evening snuggles with my children", gathering harvest baskets for friends and spending time in the garden.
Meghan also recalled a summer of laughter, melting ice cream and wine, alongside the work of building her growing business.
She wrote: "All of it has mattered. All of it has felt meaningful."
She said the festive season offered a chance to appreciate small pleasures.
The Duchess encouraged customers to share gifts, spend time with loved ones and create traditions of their own.
She thanked people who had welcomed As Ever products into their homes, signing the letter simply: "As ever, Meghan."
The message follows a significant change for the Sussex family, who spent six years living in California after stepping away from senior royal duties in 2020.
Prince Harry, 42, recently explained that the couple wanted their children, Prince Archie, seven, and Princess Lilibet, five, to experience life in Britain.
In an interview with British GQ, the Duke of Sussex said enrolling them in a British school had become especially important to him.
He revealed that both children were enjoying their new surroundings and making friends through regular playdates.
Harry also welcomed the opportunity to spend longer periods near his relatives and introduce his children to the country where he grew up.
The family are maintaining their California home while establishing a British base for an extended stay.
Meghan continues overseeing As Ever from the UK, while the brand and their charitable operations remain based in America.
Her festive range includes a chocolate Advent calendar inspired by the Sussexes' Montecito home and developed with chocolatier Compartés.
Other gifts include scented candles, baskets filled with treats, a teapot and matching cup, playing cards and stationery.
The brand launched its 2026 holiday collection in early October, before adding more items later in the month.
Meghan has previously spoken about enjoying family traditions at Christmas, including preparing little surprises for Archie and Lilibet.
According to PEOPLE, the family are spending the children's half-term break with close relatives and friends.
