Meghan Markle Marks 44th Birthday with Candle-Lighting Tips and As Ever Brand Update

Meghan Markle celebrated her 44th birthday quietly with Prince Harry at their Montecito mansion, sharing a new photo and insights into her home ambiance. The Duchess of Sussex posted on Instagram, revealing she lights candles before guests arrive to 'set the mood at home,' ensuring the room feels warm and inviting. She advises placing candles at different heights and keeping scents subtle.

The post promoted her As Ever lifestyle brand, which now includes signature candles and matchboxes. Two candles inspired by the couple's children are available individually for $64, or a set of two candles and matches for $128. Meghan also shared family jam preferences in a recent video, noting that Harry loves raspberry, Lilibet prefers strawberry, Archie enjoys both, and she favors marmalade.

In March, Meghan ended her partnership with Netflix, with a spokesperson stating the brand was 'ready to stand on its own.' Netflix confirmed the split was 'always intended.' The Duchess and Harry, who stepped back from royal duties in 2020, live in California with their children, Archie (7) and Lilibet (5).
