Meghan's As Ever Holiday Collection and King Charles's Highgrove Range Launch on the Same Day
Two royal-linked lifestyle launches landed on the same day. On Thursday 22 October 2026, Meghan Markle's As Ever brand released chapter two of its Holiday Collection, and King Charles's Highgrove Gardens announced a new range made with Cornishware Ceramics, the Cornish pottery maker.
Chapter two of the Holiday Collection, the brand's seasonal line of food, home and gift items, is built around hosting. Its centrepiece is a Trellis porcelain tea set. The first chapter arrived on 6 October, according to AOL.
The brand also sells a 2026 Holiday Advent Calendar, made with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. An advent calendar is a countdown to Christmas, with a treat behind each day's door. This one holds 24 handcrafted chocolates and is listed on As Ever's website at $148.
Other items on the site include Flower Sprinkles at $15, which the brand describes as edible confetti for finishing a dish. A Signature Fruit Spread Gift Box, with raspberry, orange marmalade and strawberry spreads, costs $42. A Honey Duo box, with wildflower and orange blossom honey, is $62. A single jar of raspberry spread is $12. These prices are as listed on the brand's website.
The Highgrove range, announced the same day, includes teapots, mugs, side plates, storage pots and dog bowls. Hello! Magazine reported that each piece is hand-cast from Cornish clay and passes through at least 25 pairs of skilled hands. The designs use two colours: King's Rose pink and Highgrove sage green.
Highgrove Gardens is the brand linked to the King's private estate in Gloucestershire, and the new pieces follow its earlier product lines. Hand-casting means the clay is shaped in moulds by people rather than machines, and each piece is finished by hand before it is sold.
For anyone planning a festive table, the two launches offer very different routes. One is a set of hosting pieces and a chocolate countdown. The other is a set of everyday crockery, with a dish for the dog included.
Both launches fall in the run-up to the Christmas season, when many shoppers buy gifts and tableware. Each brand has put its seasonal range on sale as the weeks to the holiday shorten.
