Meghan is expanding her As Ever firm with more products (Jonathan Brady/PA)PA WireLaura Elston1 minute agoThe Duchess of Sussex is launching a “Holiday Collection” in the run-up to Christmas, including a hostess basket and a set of As Ever playing cards.

After unveiling her £112 luxury advent calendar last week, Meghan’s new products will also include a selection of three chocolate bars, in Ginger Lemon, Lavender Honey and Hibiscus Rose flavours.

The duchess’s lifestyle brand revealed that “The Holiday Collection: Chapter One” would be launched on October 6, with the added tagline “Merriment in the Making”.

It said: “The holidays have a way of reminding us how much joy can be found in the moments that make up a life.

“They invite us to gather a little closer, to make things with our hands, to set the table with care, and to give generously to the people we love.”

Meghan’s products will include a wicker hostess basket filled with two scented candles, three jams, three types of herbal tea and a pot of flower sprinkles.

The two sets of playing cards, in a pale green box, which are edged with a gold border and feature As Ever’s palm tree with two hummingbird birds logo, are called “The Keepsake Double-Deck Parlour Card Set”.

The duchess was pictured on As Ever’s Instagram stirring a pot on the stove in a luxury kitchen at the weekend, with the post reading: “The season of giving is almost here, and we have a few surprises in store…”

Her 24-chocolate advent calendar, inspired by her Montecito mansion and garden, went on sale just over a month after the Sussexes left California and moved back to the UK.
