Meghan Markle Draws Criticism Over $64 Candle Promotion Referencing Archie and Lilibet@Netflix\/YouTube and @meghan\/Instagram<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
Meghan Markle has drawn criticism this week after using her children’s royal titles in promotional material for her candle line from her AsEver<\/em> range on Mother\u2019s Day. According to reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle<\/a> have registered their children’s names for emails, social media handles and domain names, prompting questions about how the couple plans to leverage the royal titles publicly.<\/p>\n The promotional material of Markle\u2019s AsEver <\/em>brand was released on Wednesday as part of the Mother\u2019s Day collection. It suggests that it will sell two scented candles for $64: No. 506 for \u201cPrince Archie of Sussex\u2019s Birthdate,\u201d and No. 604 for \u201cPrincess Lilibet of Sussex\u2019s Birthdate.<\/p>\n According to Page Six, <\/em>the move hasn\u2019t gone well with the palace<\/a>, which calls the sales pitch \u201can outrageous use of their titles.\u201d A palace source said the late Queen Elizabeth II never intended for the Sussex family to profit from the HRH titles.<\/p>\n The report references the couple’s earlier agreement not to commercially exploit their royal titles after stepping down from their royal roles in 2020. Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie, 6, and Lilibet, 4, were officially made HRH when their grandfather, King Charles, ascended the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022. The royal family’s official website listed both children with their HRH titles.<\/p>\n A Page Six <\/em>report earlier noted that the children have stationery featuring the HRH titles, though they are not expected to take on official royal duties as adults.<\/p>\n The latest report by the publication states that Harry and Markle have secured their children\u2019s names for emails, social media handles, and domain names. Though it can be viewed as a common practice, an industry insider said using the children’s names while they are still minors raises different concerns. \u201cIt\u2019s not about safeguarding the children \u2014 that\u2019s understandable. It\u2019s what you plan to do with [it] that\u2019s the key,\u201d the insider said.<\/p>\n Despite using the children’s names in her marketing, Markle has been careful not to feature their photographs. A source shared with the publication, \u201cThe candles are specifically part of a Mother\u2019s Day line that weaves in something special in honor of your kids \u2026 Meghan is a mom and her brand is about hosting and entertaining and family. She\u2019s not parading the children around at events. She never shows their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition, Markle has also used her daughter, Lilibet\u2019s nickname, Lili, in Instagram photos and videos to promote her lifestyle range. Without revealing their full faces, she has posted them, labeling them \u201cmama\u2019s little helpers\u201d in gardening or cooking scenes.<\/p>\n The Page Six<\/em> report notes that Signature Candle No. 506 is associated with Archie\u2019s birthday. The fragrance is described as \u201ca warm, comforting scent \u2026 bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room,\u201d featuring notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere \u2014 the product description does not explain the connection, though observers have noted the possible reference to Archie’s red hair.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Signature Candle No. 604 is described as \u201ca light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex\u2019s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,\u201d with notes of amber, sandalwood and water lily \u2014 a combination some have linked to her name, Lilibet.<\/p>\n Read more at Morning Honey. <\/a><\/p>\n Get Morning Honey delivered right to your inbox.
