Duchess Meghan is subtly honoring Prince Harry in her first-ever holiday collection.

Her lifestyle brand, As Ever, on Oct. 28 debuted its 2025 holiday line, which features various candles, fruit spreads, honey and sparkling wines.

The Duchess of Sussex paid tribute to her royal husband through the $64 Signature Candle No. 519, which references the pair’s May 19, 2018 wedding. According to the product photo, the scent is Moroccan mint, cardamom and tea leaves.

Meanwhile, a Napa Valley sparkling wine included in the collection pays homage to the Montecito-based family’s roots in California.

During the 2024 winter season, the festive couple embraced the Christmas spirit by dropping their annual holiday card that included a photo of their young children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Printed on a green background, the card contained the message, “We wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.” 

The parents welcomed Archie, 6, in 2019. Lilibet, 4, was born in 2021.

As Ever launched in April after initially being announced as American Riviera Orchard in March 2024.

What is As Ever’s 2025 Holiday Collection?

As Ever’s new collection includes the following items:

  • Signature Candle No. 519 ($64)
  • Signature Candle No. 084 ($64)
  • 2021 Vintage Napa Valley Brut ($89)
  • Signature Fruit Spread Gift Set – raspberry, orange marmalade and strawberry($42)
  • Honey Duo Gift Set — wildflower and orange blossom ($62)
  • Spiced Cider Mulling Spice Kit ($16)
  • Hot Toddy Mulling Spice Kit ($16)
  • Sage Honey with Honeycomb ($32)

Though the Duchess of Sussex was met with a mixed response when she launched her lifestyle brand in the spring, with Meghan McCain and Bethenny Frankel counting themselves among her detractors.

“I don’t know what she’s doing. This is, like, her ninth rebrand,” McCain said.

Meanwhile, some fans seemed to see her Netflix show “With Love, Meghan” and As Ever as natural extensions of her pre-Harry pursuits. In the 2010s, the duchess was curator of successful lifestyle blog The Tig, which she shuttered in 2017.

In response to criticism, Meghan told The New York Times, “I need to work, and I love to work” and added that the brand “is a way I can connect my home life and my work.”
