Meghan Markle is adding a deeply personal note to her As ever brand with a Mother’s Day collection centered on her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The Duchess of Sussex has introduced two $56 candles inspired by their birthdays, making them the first products in the line to draw directly from Archie and Lilibet. According to People Magazine, the collection launches on April 22 and also includes bundled gift sets, linking the release to both family identity and the growing reach of Meghan’s lifestyle business.

Prince Archie of Sussex Inspires Signature Candle No. 506
One candle, Signature Candle No. 506, is tied to Archie’s May 6 birthday and is listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex’s Birthdate.” The scent combines ginger, neroli and cashmere, with product notes describing it as warm and comforting. The blend also appears to nod to Archie’s red hair, a detail that has drawn attention in recent family snapshots. The candle stands out because it uses Archie’s full royal title in official materials, underlining how Meghan’s commercial brand is now weaving royal naming conventions into its presentation.
Princess Lilibet of Sussex Leads Candle No. 604
A second candle, Signature Candle No. 604, is inspired by Lilibet’s June 4 birthday and appears in the collection as “Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s Birthdate.” Its fragrance notes include amber, water lily and santal, creating a lighter floral profile than Archie’s candle. Product copy describes it as bright and open, with a subtle nod to Lilibet’s name. The release also includes bundles, among them a $156 set pairing chocolates, custom matchboxes and both candles. That makes the Mother’s Day range one of As ever’s most family-linked launches so far.
Meghan Markle Explains Why Sussex Matters
The use of Archie and Lilibet’s titles also points back to Meghan’s comments about the Sussex name itself. "It’s our shared name as a family, and I guess I hadn’t recognized how meaningful that would be to me until we had children," she said according to People Magazine. Archie and Lilibet received their prince and princess titles after King Charles acceded to the throne in 2022. Both children now use Sussex as a surname, following a long-standing royal tradition in which titles and territorial designations shape family names.
As ever Expands After Meghan’s 2025 Launch
Meghan launched As ever in February 2025, and the brand has steadily expanded with jams, baking mixes, teas, wines and candles. This new drop adds a more intimate layer by connecting products directly to her children rather than to milestones like her birthday or royal wedding. It also arrives just after Meghan and Prince Harry returned from a four-day trip to Australia focused on mental health, community resilience and veterans. The timing keeps attention on both the Sussex family brand and Meghan’s effort to build a business rooted in home, gifting and personal symbolism.
