Posting on her Instagram story, the Duchess of Sussex filmed a crate with three bottles of her new As Ever Rosé.
“Sending birthday love (both near and far) to my ladies”, she wrote.
It is unclear who she is sending the wine to.
But yesterday, a photo was released by the palace to mark Camilla’s birthday.
In the photo by Chris Jackson, she is pictured smiling as she leans on a gate in a field at her private Wiltshire home.
She is wearing gold drop earrings and a turquoise dress.
The Queen was on duty on her birthday last year and she is expected to spend this year’s celebration privately.
This may be the latest round in “peace talks” between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
Although Prince Harry reportedly tried to paint Camilla as the “wicked stepmother”, he and Meghan turned into the outcasts instead.
It comes after a expert claimed Harry’s “peace talks” with King Charles feels like it has Meghan’s “game plan” all over them.
The Duke of Sussex is said to have recently “given his blessing” for the talks involving two of his team plus the King and Queen’s director of communications.
They spoke about potential ways to end their family conflict, though a proposal for Harry to make a royal return was not on the agenda.
California-based Harry is next due to visit the UK in September for the annual WellChild events.
It opens up the prospect of meeting his father for the first time in 18 months.
In May Harry appeared to have torpedoed reconciliation efforts during a catastrophic and ill- advised interview with the BBC in which he moaned “the King won’t speak to me”.
But photos published at the weekend showed the King and Queen’s director of communications Tobyn Andreae with Meredith Maines, chief communications officer for Harry’s charity Archewell, and its UK and Europe communications manager Liam Maguire.
They met on the balcony of the members-only Royal Over-Seas League club a short walk from Buckingham Palace before continuing inside.
It is understood the face-to-face meeting was held to discuss avoiding media clashes and conflicts around calendar dates.
Discussions were not held about Prince Harry returning to a more formal royal role.
A source claimed: “The meeting was with Harry’s blessing.”
Buckingham Palace had also supported the proposals to “open a channel of communication” — having agreed to them within the past two weeks, it has been claimed.
But adding intrigue to the developments, Prince William’s team were not involved in the London summit.
There was no contact between Harry’s team and one working for William and Kate — or any invitation for face-to-face meetings.
In September Kate and William will be returning from their summer break with a string of major engagements.
There have also been claims Harry will invite members of his estranged family to the Invictus Games when it is held in Birmingham in two years’ time.
But just two months ago Harry hit out at his father in a rant-filled BBC interview.
It came barely hours after he lost a High Court case asking for taxpayer-funded gun cops despite not being a working royal.
