Set to rival Meghan Markle’s anticipated wine launch, twin daughters of Earl Spencer and cousins of Prince Harry are launching their own rosé wine brand with their new venture named as ‘Lala V’. The timing, however, might raise eyebrows with the Duchess of Sussex, as Meghan is also thought to be planning to sell wine as part of her ‘As Ever’ brand launch.
Fans won’t have long to wait until the release. Speaking about the upcoming brand, model and socialite, Lady Amelia said: “There’s something really special in the works that Eliza and I are launching this summer. We’ve been working on a rosé brand called Lala V – it’s a play on Eliza’s childhood nickname Lala and the French word for life, vie.”
Lady Amelia also further explained the idea behind the tipple: “The brand aims to represent joie de vivre – a joyful exuberance for life. We can’t wait to go on this journey together.”
The 28-year-old twins are the daughters of Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, and the model Victoria Lockwood, his former wife and the mother of his four eldest children.
Fans of the Duchess of Sussex will know Meghan’s passion for wine as her defunct website, The Tig, was named after one of her favourite Italian red wines, Tignanello. This background makes her rumoured entry into the wine market a natural extension of her personal interests coupled with the launch of her lifestyle brand.
Celebrity wine ventures have proven highly lucrative and also popular with stars such as Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Kylie Minogue – who all have their own alcohol ranges.
The announcement comes as Meghan Markle teamed up with a major fashion website allowing her fans to recreate her style.
Meghan linked her Instagram to a ‘shop my closest’ page with over a dozen pieces of clothing, jewellery and handbags to choose from.
The Duchess is likely to take a commission on any purchases fans make through the links. This type of shopping has seen a similar surge in the UK, with various influencers posting their lists on websites such as liketoknowit.
Several of Meghan’s signature pieces are listed on the page, including her white linen shirts, striped shirts, various jumpers in her favourite colours, and her YSL sandal slides.
