Meghan Markle has launched a £112 As Ever advent calendar as ode to Montecito home ande garden.
It is her first commercial venture since moving back to Britain.
The Duchess of Sussex is in collaboration with Los Angeles gourmet chocolatier Compartés on the ‘limited-edition’ product for her As Ever business featuring 24 chocolates.
The calendar features a festive illustration of the £11million mansion she and Prince Harry called home for six years.
A press release declared ‘every detail was considered with care, including countdown numbers hand-painted in Meghan’s own penmanship using edible gold lustre’.
Flavours include strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and orange marmalade, plus what is described as a ‘special chocolate finished with Meghan’s own flower sprinkles’.
Compartés’s dark chocolate ganache truffle also features in the calendar, with Meghan’s writing said to turn ‘each day’s reveal into a small, personal moment’.
The product is priced at $148 (£112) and will be available to pre-order in the US on As Ever’s website from 5pm UK time today, with delivery from early next month.
Meghan’s business described this as the ‘latest chapter in an ongoing collaboration between the two brands’, after the $12 (£9) As Ever x Compartés chocolate bars.
The box’s design was ‘inspired by Meghan’s Montecito home and garden’, and she worked on it with Compartés creative director Jonathan Grahm.
