'Strip the Titles Now': Meghan Markle Uses Her Children's Royal Names to Sell Candles and Fans Want King Charles to Act
Meghan Markle has added two new products to her lifestyle brand, As Ever, as part of the Mother’s Day collection. The items are inspired by her two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. However, people have not taken kindly to how she has been leveraging the royal titles commercially.
While the addition has been personal for the Duchess of Sussex, users online have been criticizing her harshly. Some have even called out King Charles to step in and strip the Sussexes of their royal titles.
Meghan Markle Brands Her Children’s Royal Titles in New ‘As Ever’ Candles
Meghan Markle launches candles inspired by her two children.
The Suits actress made a sweet nod to her children's birthdays as part of the Mother's Day collection for her brand, As Ever. According to PEOPLE , the brand will launch two signature candles inspired by her kids at $64, referencing the children's respective birthdays.
The candle inspired by Prince Archie was labelled Signature Candle No. 506, which is tied to his birthday, May 6. The listing read, "This candle is inspired by Meghan's son, Prince Archie." with the notes of “Ginger, Neroli, Cashmere.” It was described as a warm and comforting scent that will bring “a soft, familiar ease into the room.
Another scented candle is called Signature Candle No. 604. The candle was inspired by Prince Lilibet’s birthday on June 4. The scent was described as a“ light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home.”
The notes included amber, water lily, and santal, which is also a nod to her name. The release note further stated, “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s daughter, Princess Lilibet.”
In a separate report from RadarOnline, the critics are calling out on Markle’s latest attempt at selling the Mother’s Day-inspired collection using her children’s royal names. The move does not sit well, following their departure from royal duties in 2020. The Sussexes had agreed that they would not use their royal titles for financial gain.
After Queen Elizabeth II's death, the couple decided to give their children the royal title. However, it was believed that it would be used exclusively for formal settings.
The critics urge King Charles to strip Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of their titles, as they have once again used the royal titles for commercial purposes.
