The new collection from Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever includes candles inspired by her and Harry’s children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.
The Mother’s Day collection, set to go on sale Wednesday, includes two $64 signature candles named after her and the Duke of Sussex’s young children’s birthdays.
According to a press release obtained by People, Signature Candle No. 506 lists May 6th as the “Prince of Sussex’s birthday.”
With notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere, the scent is described as a “warm and inviting scent inspired by the Prince of Sussex’s birthday, bringing a soft, welcoming feel to the room”, with a subtle nod to the young prince’s red hair. “This candle was inspired by Meghan Markle’s son, Prince Archie,” the release said.
The second scent, Signature Candle No. 604, was inspired by Lilibet’s June 4th birthday.
It’s described as “a bright, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthday that adds brightness and airiness to your home,” with notes of amber, Santal and water lily named after her.
Her children’s birthdays also serve as inspiration for various bundle sets in upcoming Mother’s Day drops.
This is the brand’s first major launch since Netflix cut ties with As Ever last month.
“Her show didn’t go on, so it didn’t make sense to continue the partnership,” an industry source exclusively told Page Six, referring to Markle’s series “With Love, Meghan Markle,” which was canceled after two seasons.
A Netflix spokesperson told Page Six in a statement: “Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful and simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are thrilled to play a role in bringing that vision to life.”
“As always intended, Meghan will continue to grow her brand and move on to the next chapter of her independence. We look forward to celebrating as she continues to bring joy to homes around the world,” the statement added.
A person close to the matter said the plan was always to keep As Ever “on its own feet” and that Netflix and Markle would continue to have a mutually supportive relationship.
“We hope that the seasonal ‘With Love, Meghan Markle’ will be aired,” the source added.
In a decisive move, the Duchess of Sussex has applied for a trademark for ‘As Ever’ in Australia. It was a few weeks before she and Prince Harry were scheduled to visit.
Notably, an As Ever spokesperson previously denied rumors that Markle, 44, would be expanding into other countries.
Earlier this month, an expert exclusively told Page Six that this “deliberate” move could mean the brand is not having the “level of success” in the U.S. that Markle and Harry, 41, originally hoped.
“In that context, expanding into new markets starts to feel less like a choice and more like a necessity to avoid brand stagnation,” added the celebrity PR specialist.
Markle’s company has been plagued by setbacks since launching in 2024 under the name American Riviera Orchards.
A year later, facing numerous trademark issues, she was forced to rebrand to As Ever.
“I’m grateful to the people who gave me the grace to make mistakes and work through them, and to those who forgave themselves through it all,” Markle told People magazine in March 2025, citing her many obstacles. “It’s a learning curve.”
