Meghan Markle’s latest candle collection has prompted backlash.
As part of Mother’s Day celebrations, the mother of two launched two new candles on March 13th. Two of them were said to be inspired by her two children. Recent reports also claimed that she had trademarked their names, email address, social media handles and domain names.
Meghan Markle’s decision has been slammed now by royal sources who claim that it is “outrageous” to use her children’s names and goes against Queen Elizabeth II’s wishes.

As seen in promotional material, Meghan Markle’s As Ever line of products includes candles inspired by her children Prince Archie and princess Lilibet.
Two candles released on Wednesday are No. The two candles, released on Wednesday, are named No. Page Six reports that 604 and No. are linked to the birthdays of her children.
The move has been criticized, with one source calling it “an outrageous usage of their titles.”
The same source claimed that Queen Elizabeth II, who died in 2002, would not have approved of the Sussex family profiting from their titles after they leave their senior royal roles by 2020.

Meghan Markle Has Gotten Several Trademarks For Her Children

Meghan’s children didn’t receive HRH status before their grandfather, King Charles ascended to the throne after the Queen’s passing.
Since then, it appears that the Duchess, along with her husband Prince Harry, have made the most of the situation.
Page Six reported previously that the children have already purchased stationery with the HRH designation. More recently, it has been discovered that their parents have secured trademarks for their names as well as their email addresses, domain names, and social media handles.
Insiders say that for now, they do not see the trademark move as a problem, but this could change if the trademark is used to sell future goods.
“It is not about protecting the children — this is understandable.” The key is what you intend to do with it,” the source said.

Meghan has included her children subtly in videos shared online to promote her As Ever brand.
In a teaser released in February 2025 the Duchess and her children were seen working in the garden and kitchen of what appeared as their Montecito house.
The following month, a similar scene featuring children helping Meghan in the cooking was posted.
The mother of two recently took things to the next level in a promotional film for her partnership with High Camp Supply Florists.
The caption “mama’s little helpers” made the brand angle more obvious.
Meghan has also shared other intimate moments with her children, but most of the time, she hides their faces.
