Meghan Markle has the perfect companion for a summer afternoon tea break.

On July 14, the Duchess of Sussex starred in a new pic shared on her As ever brand's Instagram page. The snap showed Meghan, sporting a cream and white ensemble, from behind as she held a cup of tea and petted her dog, Mia.

"Summer afternoons, mint tea, and the sweetest company ???????? (Hi, Mia!)," Meghan, 43, captioned the pic.

Herbal Peppermint Tea was one of the offerings from As ever's first two product drops, described on the website as "a refreshing tea of organic peppermint leaves, to be enjoyed day or night." The tea, along with the other products from As ever, is currently sold out. After the initial product launch on April 2 sold out within an hour, the restock (featuring two new products) and the release of As ever wine were also quickly purchased.

This isn't Mia's first time appearing with Meghan on the As ever page. In March, the pup crashed a backyard photoshoot for the brand's first launch, with Meghan sharing a behind-the-scenes pic of the rescue beagle as she showcased the picturesque products.

The dog, whose full name is "Mamma Mia," was adopted by Meghan and Prince Harry in 2022. She was rescued from a breeding and research lab in Virginia by the Beagle Freedom Project, whom Meghan reached out to personally about adopting an older dog.

"The duchess is holding Mia and was like, 'We’re adopting her,'" Shannon Keith, a volunteer with the organization, told the L.A. Times. "She was like 'No, we don’t want a Christmas puppy…we want ones we can help who are older.' "

Mia became the couple's third dog at the time, alongside their black lab, Pula, and Meghan's previous rescue beagle, Guy, who died in January 2025.

Mia's not the only family member to get in on the As ever fun, as Meghan and Harry's two children have also made an appearance on the Instagram page.

Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, both appeared in a March 24 post, with Archie hugging his mother's leg while she held Lili.

While Meghan has given glimpses of her Montecito, California, home via Instagram, she opted to film her latest Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, at a nearby rental property.

"I wanted to protect that safe haven," she told PEOPLE in March. "We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day."

She added, "Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!"
