Meghan Markle posted a heartfelt thank you to fans following the news of her sold-out products from her brand, As Ever, but eagle-eyed fans instantly spotted a glaring error in her Instagram post. Posting on her brand’s page, an image, believed to have been taken in her home in Montecito, California, shows a handwritten note with the words “You’re beautiful. Full stop.” written in Meghan’s calligraphy on a work surface.
The note is surrounded by sprigs of thyme, eggs, a rolling pin, and scattered flour, with Meghan’s hand showing in the corner. But the image, believed to be taken in Meghan’s kitchen, seems to have accidentally revealed more than intended.
Fans quickly noticed something that seemed out of place, which is a small black mouse cursor just above Meghan’s hand on the left edge of the picture.
The digital slip suggests the picture may have been taken as a screen grab on a computer or laptop, rather than a fresh photograph.
One eagle-eyed fan wrote: “Meghan Markle left the cursor arrow on her latest post.”
Another joked: “She has such an attention to detail.”
Another wrote, “I didn’t even notice that, well spotted,” as the image gained attention online.
The social media blunder follows another incident at the start of the year when Meghan made her long-awaited return to social media. On New Year’s Day, she posted a video of herself barefoot on the beach, writing the numbers ‘2025’ in the sand.
But viewers spotted an earlier attempt already written in the sand, suggesting the scene may have required a few takes.
One social media user said: “Wonder how many it took to get the perfect shot?” while others noticed additional footprints in the background that hinted this had been practised before.
This week’s new Instagram post came as Meghan launched new items under her As Ever brand, including an apricot spread, and a limited-edition orange blossom honey.
Next month, Meghan will also move into the drinks market as she launches her first Rosé wine on July 1, just in time for summer.
