Meghan’s As Ever Valentine Launch, the Wickless Candle Mystery, and New Reports of Sussex Friction

Meghan’s As Ever Valentine Launch, the Wickless Candle Mystery, and New Reports of Sussex Friction

Meghan Markle unveils As Ever’s first Valentine’s Day collection, featuring Strawberry Spread now sold on its own, the return of Raspberry Spread, and gift-style bundles with keepsake packaging. U.S. shipping cutoffs are posted for February 2, but the products still aren’t available to customers in the United Kingdom, and not everything sold out instantly. We also have a viral-ish unboxing clip from podcast host Dana Bowling, who claims an As Ever candle arrived with no wick, despite instructions that say to trim the wick before lighting.

Plus, Heat World claims Harry and Meghan’s disagreements follow familiar triggers: the U.K., Harry’s relationship to royal life, and how much he’s expected to participate in the Hollywood machine. Fox News Digital contributors weigh in on how Spare and the post-royal era continue to shape Harry’s role, with some suggesting he risks becoming a supporting character to Meghan’s brand strategy. And Closer magazine claims Meghan is unwilling to “play nice” with Queen Camilla, even if security arrangements improve.

returning products now available online under the as Ever label.

5
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.160
Megan Michael confirmed the release on Instagram, writing, the first

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.719
launch of our Valentine's Day collection is here, thoughtfully made

for sharing, gifting and slow mornings at home with loved ones.

8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.479
For the first time out, Strawberry Spread is available on

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.920
its own, alongside the return of our Raspberry Spread, finally

10
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:44.200
back in stock. The Valentine's range includes Strawberry Spread, which

11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.679
can now be purchased individually rather than only as part

12
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.880
of a gift set, along with the returning Raspberry spread.

13
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.799
Both flavors are available on their own, in keep sake

14
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.759
packaging or as part of a trio set on the

15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.640
as Ever website. The brand describes the launch with the

16
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.280
message love you with something sweet, Treat yourself and your

17
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.280
loved ones to new gift worthy delights. The spreads are

18
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:09.879
prized at around twelve dollars when bought alone, approximately fifteen

19
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.760
dollars worth keepsake packaging and about forty two dollars for

20
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:17.120
the trio set. Customers have been advised to order before

21
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.799
February second in order to receive items in time for

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:24.200
Valentine's Day. The products remain unavailable to customers in the UK,

23
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.760
despite expectations of rapid sellouts. Several products from the Valentine's

24
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:32.359
Collection remained available on the website the last time we checked.

25
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:37.120
Podcast host Dana Bowling shared a video online in which

26
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.040
she unboxed and as Ever candle. Speaking in the video,

27
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.519
Bowling said, I was gifted and as Ever candle from

28
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.200
someone over at Netflix. Netflix, the company that producers a

29
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.239
show with Love Megan and also incidentally didn't pick it

30
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:53.000
up for another season. But this company, Netflix, has a

31
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.879
bunch of her swag in their closets and their offices.

32
00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.159
And I was gifted this from someone there. Now listen,

33
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.120
I am not a Megan Okay, sharker, I'm not, but

34
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.079
it's an as Ever candle, and I run a pop

35
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.760
culture show. I was like, this is the perfect prop

36
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.280
for my show, holding the candle up to the camera

37
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:13.280
bowl and continued, But guys, I opened it, and I

38
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.240
want to know if you think anything's weird about this.

39
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.680
It's a candle, right, What do you do with a candle?

40
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.680
You're supposed to light it? How can I light a

41
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.439
candle that lacks a wick? There is no wick in

42
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:27.520
this candle. The instructions they say always trim wick to

43
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.240
one quarter inch before lighting. How guys, I can't light

44
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.000
a nothing? So I guess it's just a smelly vase.

45
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.599
Pass on as Ever, according to a report cited by

46
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.919
heat Weld, Inside to say, Harry and Megan have disagreements

47
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.360
which follow a familiar pattern. One source claimed the triggers

48
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.960
are always the same. It's not just the ongoing issues

49
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.240
with his family and time spent in the UK, although

50
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:51.520
that's the biggest one. There's also the question to how

51
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.319
involved Harry is expected to be in the Hollywood machine.

52
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.199
Sources say Harry remains very clear eyed about the Royal

53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.599
institution and what he seeses a negative aspects, but that

54
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.800
perspective has not erased his sense that meaningful good can

55
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:08.479
still be achieved through it. Privately, he is said to

56
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.159
believe it is his duty and even his birthright, to

57
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:14.000
maintain a closer connection to royal life than he currently does.

58
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.560
While Harry has continued his charity works in stepping back

59
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.039
from royal duties and is proud of what he has accomplished.

60
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.879
Inside his claim, he acknowledges he could do far more

61
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.639
with the backing of the Crown. The source added he

62
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.560
admits that the platform and support he once had would

63
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.360
allow him to make a bigger impact. Commentators say Prince

64
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.439
Harry's twenty twenty three memoir Spare continues to shape public

65
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:41.039
perception of him. Kinsey Chofield told Fox News Digital Prince

66
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:43.919
Harry has essentially traded one hare Rocky for another in

67
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:46.240
the royal family. He was the spare to Prince William

68
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.479
in Hollywood. He risks becoming the supporting character to Megan

69
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:54.439
Mikel's ambitions. The entertainment industry rewards relevance, star power, and

70
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.840
personal branding. Megan has consistently demonstrated a clearer strategy and

71
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:03.199
stronger command of that ecosystem. Harry, by contrast, has struggled

72
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.840
to define a role beyond being Prince Harry, which leaves

73
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.560
him vulnerable to fading into the background. California seems to

74
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.120
have left Harry unmoored. He is far from his family,

75
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.960
his military community, and the institutional structure that once gave

76
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.600
him direction. While he enjoys the privileges of wealth and privacy,

77
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.639
there is a visible lack of grounding. To the public.

78
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:26.120
He appears less settled than solid. Her comments followed reports

79
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.160
that Harry moved quickly from an emotional High Court appearance

80
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.759
in London to attending the Sundance Film Festival with Megan

81
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.120
days later. One inside a told Page six for Harry

82
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:38.639
to go from the hearing and pleading for privacy then

83
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:42.120
go to Sundance just days after his nuts. Royal expert

84
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.920
Richard fitz Williams said Harry has faced setbacks in Hollywood,

85
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.199
stating he simply looked silly in a cameo role in

86
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.079
Megan's ill fated cookery series. He also has suffered a

87
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.519
major setback when he lost the charity center Balley, which

88
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.519
he co founded in his mother's memory. British Royal expert

89
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.519
Hillary Fordage told Fox I would not be surprised to

90
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.040
see him return, if only for a short time. Each year.

91
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.040
Megan is embracing Hollywood while Harry has effectively become her spare,

92
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.680
he still struggles with the spotlight, making him less marketable

93
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.800
on his own. Fordage suggested his best pivot would be

94
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.079
toward Africa or leaning more into Invictors, where he always

95
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.959
appeared most engaged. Chofield concluded Megan understands how to package

96
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.480
in narrative and build a brand. Harry has yet to

97
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.360
prove he can do the same without relying on royal controversy.

98
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.120
The public appetite for grievance driven storytelling has cooled. Megan

99
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.600
Markle is reportedly unwilling to mend fences with one senior royal,

100
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.160
even if acceptable security arrangements are approved for her and

101
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:43.839
Prince Harry, according to a source speaking too Closer magazine,

102
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.040
the royal in question is Queen Cammella, who has long

103
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.319
been at odds where both Meghan and Harry. Harry previously

104
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.439
described Camilla as an evil stepmum and revealed that he

105
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.800
and his brother had begged their father not to marry her.

106
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.639
The source said that while Meghan is willing to be

107
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.319
conciliatory and take the high road with many people, Camilla

108
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.680
is not among them. In the past, the Duchess has

109
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.879
said to have made a genuine effort with the King's wife,

110
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.240
but the insider claimed she's way past playing nice and

111
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.560
kissing up to her. She has seen that gets hurt nowhere.

112
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.639
The source out of the Megan is not seeking confrontation.

113
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.639
She's not planning to start a scene. However, they stressed,

114
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.000
she's not going to pretend everything is fine and playing

115
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.000
nice with Camilla. If Camilla wants to keep playing dirty,

116
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.759
Megan is ready to hit back. The source claimed she's

117
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.519
convinced Camilla has been trying to undermine her and paint

118
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.639
herself is the villain from day one, and she's adamant

119
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.800
that she won't open herself up to more cruelty. The

120
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.800
source went further, alleging that Megan feels Camilla has been

121
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.360
out to get her for years, and some people within

122
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.360
royal circles would agree. She's been so openly critical of

123
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.680
Megan within their inner circle from almost the very beginning.

124
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.639
It's like she's taken it upon herself to be the

125
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.040
family attack dog and has said out loud what others

126
00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:56.480
might think, but are too polite to actually articulate. More palacy.

127
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.920
Just a moment for the news dot co dot au,

128
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:06.000
Daniel Elsa writes four words prove Prince Harry just doesn't

129
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:09.399
get it. Last week, a resolute looking Harry took the

130
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:14.040
stand and out came his greatest hit grievances the Royal family.

131
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:16.560
He wasted no time getting in a jap, saying he

132
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.800
had not been able to speak out about the press

133
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.519
because of Crown and corporators. Never complain, never explain approach.

134
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.879
Far be it from me to point out the obvious,

135
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.000
aside from the fact that I am paid to do that.

136
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:29.839
But what has Harry spent the last five years doing

137
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.800
but complaining and explaining of being forcibly commercialized by the press.

138
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.000
What has he done but leverage other people see family

139
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.439
Royal against their will for his own profit in orders

140
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.959
suggest much awareness of what he and Megan are doing now.

141
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.560
Their twenty twenty two Netflix series was Chuck Block with

142
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.240
photos and videos of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet,

143
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.040
who have become staples on the Duchess's Instagram feed. Sure

144
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.959
they had never shown front on where their face is

145
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.680
clearly visible, but the sweet cuty pie shots of them playing, swimming, cooking, hugging,

146
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:04.160
and being adorable mights clearly go a hell of a

147
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:08.040
long way to helping bolster Meghan TM as she continues

148
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.199
to try and pull off her rebranding as a plaid apron, cooking, baking,

149
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.360
little house Mama who one day may be so lucky

150
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.759
as to get her own target line. The good news

151
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.480
this week is that, thanks to what was happening in

152
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.240
the High Court in London, as the Duke was doing

153
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.560
his darndas to try to hold the UK press feed

154
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.879
to the fire, he inadvertently provided perfect cover of what

155
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.600
would have been a much bigger story that Meghan's foray

156
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.600
into Martha Aina Gwyneth Land has gone, as well as

157
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.399
Napoleon's march on Moscow. Who Netflix series with Love Meghan

158
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:40.440
will reportedly not be returning for a third season, meaning

159
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.720
that we will have to bravely fend for ourselves should
