Meghan Markle’s new collection for her As Ever lifestyle brand includes candles inspired by her and Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
The Mother’s Day collection, set to launch Wednesday, features two $64 signature candles named after the birthdays of her and the Duke of Sussex’s little ones.
The Signature Candle No. 506 is listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex’s Birthdate,” which falls on May 6, per a press release obtained by People.
The scent is described as “a warm, comforting scent inspired by Prince Archie of Sussex’s birthdate, bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room,” with notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere — a subtle nod to the youngling’s red hair. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s son, Prince Archie,” the release explained.
A second scent, Signature Candle No. 604, is inspired by Lilibet’s June 4 birthday.
It’s described as “a light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,” with notes of amber, santal and water lily — a nod to her name.
Her kids’ birthdays also inspire different bundle sets in the upcoming Mother’s Day drop.
This marks the brand’s first major launch since Netflix cut ties with As Ever last month.
“Her show did not go on so it did not make sense to continue the partnership,” an industry source exclusively told Page Six, referring to Markle’s series, “With Love, Meghan,” which was axed after two seasons.
A Netflix spokesperson told Page Six in a statement, “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life.
“As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world,” the statement added.
A source close to the matter told us it was always the plan to get As Ever running on its “own two feet” and said Netflix and Markle will continue their mutually supportive relationship.
“We can expect to see seasonal specials of ‘With Love, Meghan,’” the insider added.
In a telling move, the Duchess of Sussex filed an As Ever trademark in Australia — just weeks before she and Harry were set to visit.
Notably, a spokesperson for As Ever had previously denied rumors that Markle, 44, would be expanding into other countries.
Earlier this month, an expert exclusively told Page Six that the “deliberate” business move could indicate that the brand is not “delivering the level of success” in America that Markle and Harry, 41, initially expected.
“In that context, branching out into a new market starts to feel less like a choice and more like a necessity to avoid the brand stagnating,” the celebrity PR specialist added.
Markle’s company has been plagued by setbacks since she launched the endeavor in 2024 under the name American Riviera Orchard.
A year later, she was forced to rebrand to As Ever after facing a slew of trademark issues.
“I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also to be forgiving with myself through that,” Markle told People in March 2025, referring to the many roadblocks. “It’s a learning curve.”
