Meghan Markle is weaving a personal touch into her latest As ever launch — with a notable nod to her and Prince Harry’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duchess of Sussex has unveiled a Mother’s Day collection for her lifestyle brand, set to launch April 22, featuring two $64 signature candles inspired by the couple’s kids. The new scents follow earlier candles tied to Meghan’s own birthday and her and Harry’s royal wedding — but mark the first time the line has drawn directly from her children.

In official press materials and product descriptions, Archie and Lilibet are referred to by their full royal titles. One candle, Signature Candle No. 506, is tied to Archie’s May 6 birthday and listed as “Prince Archie of Sussex’s Birthdate.” The scent is described as “a warm, comforting scent inspired by Prince Archie of Sussex’s birthdate, bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room,” with notes of ginger, neroli and cashmere — a subtle wink to his red hair. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s son, Prince Archie,” the release states.

A second scent, Signature Candle No. 604, is inspired by Lilibet’s June 4 birthday and listed as “Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s Birthdate.” It’s described as “a light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,” with notes of amber, water lily and santal — a nod to her name. “This candle is inspired by Meghan’s daughter, Princess Lilibet,” the release adds.

The Mother’s Day drop also features three bundles, including a $156 set that pairs a new chocolate collaboration with Los Angeles-based Compartés with custom matchboxes, “anchored by candles inspired by the birthdates of Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”

Meghan, 44, announced the lifestyle brand As ever in February 2025. In its first year, the brand has sold products like jams, baking mixes, flower sprinkles, teas, wines and candles.

Archie and Lilibet were born as “Master Archie Mountbatten-Windsor” and “Miss Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor” but were granted the titles of prince and princess when their grandfather King Charles acceded the throne in 2022. Today, Archie and Lilibet both use “Sussex” as a last name. (This is a tradition within the royal family: Harry was known as “Harry Wales” growing up in school, after King Charles’ former title of Prince of Wales.)

Their parents use the Sussex name, as well: In a March 2026 Instagram post celebrating International Women’s Day, Meghan credited Harry, 41, as “Papa Sussex.”

During a March 2025 interview with PEOPLE, Meghan shared some insight into why the Sussex name has become more meaningful and important to her family.

“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.

“I love that that is something that Archie, Lili, H and I all have together. It means a lot to me,” she added.

The Sussex name becomes a point of conversation last year, during an episode of Meghan’s Netflix show With Love, Meghan. When her friend Mindy Kaling referred to her as “Meghan Markle,” Meghan gently pointed out, “It’s so funny that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I’m Sussex now. You have kids and you go, ’No, I share my name with my children.’ And that feels so…I didn’t know how meaningful it would be, but it just means so much to go, ‘This is our family name, our little family name.’”

Meghan and Harry are fresh off of a jam-packed trip to Australia, where they embarked on four days of public and private engagements focusing on mental health, community resilience and support for veterans and their families. The pair last visited Australia in October 2018, when they announced that they were expecting Archie.

This trip included stops in Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney, including a visit to the Royal Children’s Hospital, a surprise appearance by Meghan on the cooking show MasterChef Australia, a talk from Prince Harry for the men’s health charity Movember and an outing to a rugby match.
