Meghan Markle has hinted that lavender honey could be the next product launched under her As ever lifestyle brand as uncertainty continues to surround the Sussexes' planned family visit to the UK.The Duchess of Sussex, 44, shared a photograph of amber-coloured honey on As ever's Instagram account alongside the message: A hint of lavender. Coming soon. The teaser suggests lavender honey will become the latest addition to the brand's growing range.If released, it would mark As ever's fourth honey variety after sage, wildflower and orange blossom. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The brand's Sage Honey with Honeycomb is currently priced at £24, while the Honey Duo Gift Box retails for £46.The social media post came as fresh questions emerged over whether Prince Harry, Meghan, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will travel to Britain next month.The duke and duchess had been expected to make their first family trip to the UK in four years, with the visit linked to engagements connected to the Invictus Games in Birmingham.Harry was reportedly keen for his children, aged seven and five, to spend time with King Charles during the trip.However, the plans have been thrown into doubt following the Government's decision not to extend police protection beyond royal residences.Harry has long argued that it is unsafe to bring his family to Britain without appropriate security arrangements.A source close to the duke told the Guardian: Their plans to see family, friends and visit various charitable causes close to the duke's heart have been pulled out from under their feet at the 11th hour. He's looking at every option to try and get the family here safely and keep them safe when they're on the ground. If he can find a way to do that he will.LATEST ROYAL DEVELOPMENTSDiana wanted Meghan and Catherine to share her jewelleryOnlookers left amazed as Catherine spotted climbing mountain peaksFury as King made to watch 'anti-British' performance at Scottish ParliamentThe source added: The hope is they can meet their grandfather, but there is no way that can happen if they are chased by paparazzi wherever they go from the moment they step off the plane. He won't put his children through that.According to reports, the Sussexes had intended to combine Invictus-related events with private family time and visits to charitable organisations important to Harry. The trip could also have included a visit to Althorp, where Princess Diana is buried.Critics have questioned the timing of the ongoing uncertainty. One source quoted by the Mail on Sunday said: On Friday night, the Sussex office issued an op [operational] note saying that the full family would be coming to the UK and they had accepted royal accommodation. The next day, they pull out.It's a total joke and a farce. They are totally playing into the hands of those who say they court drama like this to sell Meghan's jam.Another source added: For the sake of family harmony, the Palace would have been perfectly happy with a peaceful and low-key visit. Yet, once again, they have turned it into a soap opera. It's tiresome.A Government spokesman has maintained that the UK government's protective security system is rigorous and proportionate.
