PR disasters of Meghan and Harry.

Left off at the last page with Meg selling candles to people who want to know what her young children smell like. She’s also using the kids full titles in the press release….just for a dash of extra exploitation.

As you were

Water lily? For Lili? Groundbreaking!

Why on earth would anybody want candles that remind someone they've never met of their children?
It's nuts.

It's a bit horrible to think about actually 😬

BigWillyLittleTodger · 21/04/2026 17:54

Thanks for the new thread @AtIusvue and we are off to a flying start, candles smelling of her kids 😱 it’s so inappropriate and frankly creepy.

shockthemonkey · 21/04/2026 18:01

You've got to have very strange writing for "Archie" to be AI-transcribed as "Luka"

😂

BasiliskStare · 21/04/2026 18:03

Did they have a dog called Luka or was that the Wales ?

Edit - Just before someone says I'll google that for you - theirs was called Lupa 😊

Sorry could have done that - & I know folk on here are nice so wouldn't have said it

From the previous thread:

bluegreygreen · Today 13:47
Introducing two new candles beautifully crafted by our founder and named in honor of her children's birthdates. No. 604 named for Princess Lilibet's birthdate, is floral and radiant with notes of amber, water lily, and santal. No.506, named for Prince Archie's birthdate, is warm and grounding with notes of ginger, neroli, and cashmere.
Interesting.
I don't think of amber and santal as floral - but I do think of neroli as that.

None of the scent combinations make any real sense - none of them are really what I would put together. Meghan has a slightly odd scent profile.

Papercompany · 21/04/2026 18:20

What sort of a lunatic would buy a candle that is inspired by someone else's child?! I wouldn't buy a candle that was inspired by my own child!

H & M talk about child safety and mental health awareness but don't seem to have a clue. This is just putting their kids names out there again - for no other reason other than to make money. Can you imagine the teasing the kids might get about this in the future?

Shameless merching of their kids - am amazed that Harry is going along with this nonsense given everything he has said about growing up in a gilded cage.

MrsFinkelstein · 21/04/2026 18:21

ACH well. The merching of the children continues. Disappointing to see, but unsurprising given the way her IG has been going.

Full faces will be seen before the year is out.

Noseyoldcow · 21/04/2026 18:31

On the plus side, these candles, released on the late Queen’s birthday, are inspired by “memories of the founder’s children”. Imagine if there had been a candle inspired by Harry’s granny. Would it have the smell of death?

WendyFromTransvisionWamp · 21/04/2026 18:52

I wonder if it’s the same women who wear sweathirts emblazoned with MAMA who are daft enough to fall for this kind of crap. You know the make memories 🫶🏻 crowd.

MM calling herself a founder after owning a shop for five minutes. It reminds me of a mum friend who started to refer herself as “our founder” (when it’s only her) and “principal” after she started to make sea glass art.

Absolutely we'll see the kids faces but only when the price is right.

MrsLeonFarrell · 21/04/2026 17:39

"Crafted by our founder" I'm betting that was written by Meghan. Does As Ever even have staff these days?

At least they have produced something that isn't infested with dried flowers.

Too late, MrsLF ... apparently the accompanying chocolates are "finished with safflower sprinkles" Grin

When Meg brings out a candle to smell like Harry, what will be the scent profile?

  • weed
  • resentment
  • Minoxidil

Feel free at add!

Meghan doesn't do good taste, does she? Bondi Beach anti-semitic attack fashion. Child-inspired candle scent. Anything as long as it makes money, never mind how gross or full of lies. What next?

Lily-ettes White Linen TM - so you can slip into the bleeding core of womanhood with ease, I gathered fragrant princess-worthy blooms from my California estate and worked with Chanel to fashion a scent whose powdery, blowsy dry-down stops embarrassing seepage when you need it most

Archie-bald Gingerino TM - you're never too young to get on top of preventative hair loss, by drilling down to those red-rooty roots to inject a refreshing spritz of Monkswood Tonsure Tonic TM as a nurturing self-care ritual before school each day

As Ever - Sharing My Story
As A Mom, As A Wife, As A Sister, As A Royal

we need ‘as a grifter’ added to that list as well.

Im sorry. I hadn’t seen that you’d googled.

I genuinely didn't believe the candles were real! Unbelievable.

Hypocrisy. That's why they were so desperate for the children to be Prince and Princess, and why they've been gradually increasing their social media presence.

Does Harry know about this 'Luka' that his wife is snuggling up with at night?

Also, what's a 'liquid' night? I thought it never rained in Southern California.

😀

(I looked at the picture on instagram - it’s actually “the cosiest nights snuggled up with Archie”)

Also - is there no end to the pretentiousness? - the compliments slip has “Est. MMXXIV” as the footer. That’s 2024 in Roman numerals. Weren’t we still in the era of American Riviera Orchard in 2024?

Catherine and William’s dog was called Lupo.
