Meghan celebrated the Fourth of July in true As Ever fashion: with sun-soaked charm, elevated style, and heartfelt nods to the past.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share glimpses of her Independence Day celebration — complete with a signature cocktail, a festive charcuterie board, and a touching throwback to her early days with Prince Harry.

Among the most endearing details? Meghan revealed that on their second date, Harry showed up with cupcakes in hand. It’s a beautifully simple gesture — one that adds another layer of warmth to their well-documented love story, and a reminder of the small, meaningful moments that have shaped their journey together.
Below, one of the cupcakes Harry brought to Meghan on their second date in 2016.
That thoughtful tradition has since become a family favorite, as the couple now shares it with Archie and Lili, passing down those early moments of love in the most heartwarming way.—
For her first look, Meghan rewore her Ralph Lauren striped shirt, originally seen at Wimbledon in 2018 (below, right), pairing it with her Logan Hollowell “Call on You Angels” pendant for a soft, sentimental vibe.
Later, she changed into a bold Farm Rio crop top and matching skirt, adding a splash of color and print that perfectly captured the festive mood of the day.
Meghan also shared a peek at her Fourth of July cocktail recipe giving followers some entertaining inspiration that was as elevated as it was accessible.

Meghan shared a snapshot of her Fourth of July charcuterie board, and it was as picture-perfect as you’d expect. The colorful spread included strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries, watermelon, cheese, crackers, and fresh bread and a jar of her As Ever raspberry jam. A perfectly patriotic mix of sweet, savory, and Meghan-curated charm.
She marked the occasion with her longtime friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, co-founder of Alliance of Moms. Kelly also shared the moment on her own Instagram, expressing her love and gratitude for the holiday memories made together — a testament to the strength and joy of their enduring friendship.

We break down Meghan’s two effortlessly chic Fourth of July looks below.
Meghan wore her Ralph Lauren Capri Relaxed Fit Striped Cotton Shirt in white and classic blue, $790.
She first wore the shirt for her appearance at the Wimbledon Ladie’s Final Championship, July 2018 and again for a visit to Fisher House Foundation during the Invictus Games, October 2023.
The Duchess also wore her Logan Hollowell ‘Call On Your Angels’ Diamond Angel Eye Coin Necklace in yellow gold, $5,875.
Meghan wore this necklace for the Highbrow Hippie haircare product launch party, November 2024.
In addition to her Logan Hollowell pendant, Meghan also wore a second, as-yet-unidentified necklace — a small pendant that appears to be set in a dark or black jacket-style frame. It’s worth noting that she owns a pair of Lorraine Schwartz emerald-cut diamond earrings with black enamel jackets, worn to The Lion King premiere in July 2019. It’s possible this necklace could be a coordinating piece from the same designer, or perhaps something entirely new — but either way, it added a sleek, modern edge to her look.
Meghan had on a pair of white jeans. While we couldn’t see the details to determine which pair she wore, we know she owns the Frame Le Skinny De Jeanne crop ankle slit (worn at the Invictus Games, September 2023) as well as the AYR ‘The Stir’ jeans in white (worn during her show, With Love, Meghan, 2025).
She also wore her staple jewelry pieces — Cartier ‘Love’ bracelet, Diana’s Cartier tank watch and diamond tennis bracelet and her Lorriane Schwartz diamond pinky ring.
For her second Instagram post, Meghan wore separates from Farm Rio.
Farm Rio off-white delicate tapestry knit top, reg. $120, now 50% off with code EXTRA50.
Farm Rio off-white delicate tapestry knit skirt, reg, $185, now 50% off with code EXTRA50.
Once again, she had on the Logan Hollowell pendant and the same bracelets, watch and ring.
I hope everyone had a very enjoyable July 4th with family and friends!
