Meghan Markle has launched her first Christmas collection with As Ever – including a $64 candle paying tribute to her wedding to Prince Harry.
The Duchess of Sussex, 44, took to Instagram today to unveil the range in a clip showing the mother-of-two decking the halls in an olive green dress, making desserts with her fruit preserves and glazing a turkey with one of her honeys.
Meghan’s festive range includes new products, such as two candles inspired by her wedding date and her August 4 birthday and a 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut, costing $89.
Signature Candle No. 519, scented with Moroccan mint, cardamom, and tea leaves apparently ‘evokes the freshness of a day in the English countryside’, according to a gushing description on her website.
It’s said to capture ‘cherished memories’ of the ‘ease and joy’ of Meghan’s wedding day on March 19th 2018, with no mention of rows over bridesmaids’ dresses or the last-minute drama of her father not attending.
Fans wishing to make their home smell just like the Sussexes’ Montecito mansion can also splash out on the Signature Candle No. 084, which is named after Meghan’s August 4th birth date.
Scented with water lotus, sandalwood and California poppy, Meghan promises the smell that ‘warms her family home’ will ‘feel like a hug’ – at the cost of $64.
Meanwhile, a 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut crafted from pinot noir and chardonnay grapes is a new addition to her range of wines. Costing $89 a bottle, shoppers must purchase more than 12 bottles to avoid a $20 shipping fee.

Adding to her range of fruit spreads, Meghan has launched a new strawberry flavour, which comes as part of the Signature Fruit Spread Gift set, priced at $42, alongside a jar of orange marmalade and raspberry.
The new gift set comes in an As Ever box – a seemingly sharp U-turn from the former spread packaging, which drew comparisons to a ‘perfume’ or ‘candle’ package online, leaving people baffled.
In March, shoppers received their long-awaited pots in a very elaborate white case, which was almost twice the size of the product itself.
On social media, people were left confused by the design, expecting it to contain a ‘perfume’ or a ‘candle’ instead. Others expressed environmental concerns over the amount of packaging used.
The duchess also added a $32 Sage Honey With Honeycomb to her festive collection, which is said to ‘hold a special place in Meghan’s heart’.
Beekeeping has become a favourite pastime for the mother-of-two, and in May, she shared a clip of herself and her daughter Lilibet harvesting honey before cutting out a slice of honeycomb and storing it in a jar.
However, shoppers shouldn’t confuse their As Ever honey with a jar harvested by Meghan, because though she relishes the honey gathered from her homegrown apiary, her two hives likely won’t produce enough of the sweet stuff to sell commercially.

Less than an hour before the drop, Meghan had teased the launch of her collection on her Instagram stories, showing her drinking a cup of tea in her Montecito mansion while watching her website on a laptop.
She turned the camera towards her window and the view of her two dogs sleeping next to her, while Taylor Swift’s new tune Opalite played in the background. ‘Don’t you sweat it baby, it’s launch day,’ her caption read.
