Where to buy Meghan Markle’s favourite teacup, as featured in her birthday video

Regal by name and nature, the Duchess of Sussex’s tea set is anything but ordinary

In honour of her 40th, the royal shared a rare glimpse into her home (The Independent)

In honour of her 40th birthday on 4 August, Meghan Markle announced a new charitable initiative in a video starring Melissa McCarthy.

Revealing her plans to ask 40 of her closest friends to donate 40 minutes of their time to help mentor women going back into the workforce, Meghan gave fans a rare glimpse into her home.

There’s a lot to love about her setup – from her dog’s bed (£44.11, Etsy.com) from The Foggy Dog, to her neutral colour scheme. But for us, we were most taken by her nod to the English tradition of tea and biscuits.

Perhaps paying homage to her royal life, she posed with a handmade cup and saucer from British potter Burleigh. The cup features an intricate handpainted design of a peacock and a collection of oriental motifs, and wouldn’t look out of place in anyone’s kitchen.

The brand has a rich history and heritage, having made traditional earthenware in its Middleport pottery in Staffordshire since 1851. Offering handmade designs, Burleigh is on a mission to add a little luxury to your morning coffee or dinner party setting.

In an interview with James Corden for the Late Late Show, Prince Harry revealed that his son Archie’s favourite breakfast is waffles, thanks to the Queen buying him a waffle maker for Christmas. And we suspect the Sussexes enjoy their waffles off these plates. Ideal for every occasion, from midweek meals to special occasions – we’ll certainly be adding these to our basket.
