If there's one thing to know about Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, in 2025, it's this: She doesn't gatekeep. She quietly dropped a #linkinbio to shop her closet on Instagram, offering the sources of her wardrobe staples, which she also openly shares when actress Mindy Kaling asks what she's wearing in the second episode of her Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan.

But it's the casual mention of a toy her daughter, Princess Lilibet, recently received, that's been bookmarked in my Chrome tabs since the series' March 4 debut: Stella Al Fresco, a baguette-and-wheel-of-brie-toting doll who's very clearly living her best (stuffed) life.

It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference Meghan makes, as she and friends Abigail Spencer and Kelly Zajfen sit down to enjoy lunch outside.

"Lili got a doll—I'm trying to remember who gave it to her the other day—and she has a little baguette and she has a little cheese, the doll does, and her name is Stella Al Fresco," Meghan says.

There's no shot of the doll itself; no merch tie-in or plug. It's just a casual reference as they dig into the salt-baked fish they made, but she hit me right in my bougie-millennial core. Immediately, I found myself Googling 'Stella Al Fresco doll,' even though my six-year-old's aesthetic is more glitter-rainbow-kitticorn than baby doll, and I had no one immediately on the horizon to buy it for.

It turns out I wasn't the only one searching—more than 100 have been purchased on Amazon, and right now, the $49 doll can be yours for 50 percent off, provided you check the "Apply $24.49 coupon" box before adding it to your cart.

Made by Manhattan Toy, the picnic-ready toy is part of the brand's Wee Baby Stella line, a series of soft dolls with all kinds of accessories meant to model imaginative play—and wink at trends that appeal to their parents (like this botanical garden outfit, featuring earthy neutrals in a print that's oh so reminiscent of the polymer clay jewelry designs that dominated 2022 and 2023).

If you know a kid who'd love to lunch with Stella, you'll have to act fast—the steep discount is because it's being discontinued, so once it's gone, it's...going to be sold for 10x its retail price on eBay and Facebook Marketplace.

While you're at it, you may want to stock up on a few accessories, too—just to really complete the vibe. After all, one cannot dine on baguettes and cheese alone, right?
