Eagle-eyed observers have noticed an item with a connection to the Princess of Wales after Meghan Markle appeared in promo shots for some of her new As Ever items.
Meghan Markle has sparked raised eyebrows by using an item linked to the Princess of Wales in her latest As Ever promo. The Duchess of Sussex launched a new Christmas gift set from her lifestyle brand, which features two jars of honey, complete with a black leather bookmark.
The set is only exclusively available at Godmothers, an upmarket Montecito book store owned by Meghan’s pals Victoria Jackson and Jennifer Rudolph Walsh. In a post on Instagram to promote it, the bookmark can be seen in a notebook, while Meghan writes in her signature calligraphy. In another snap, it is seen inside the book, The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse.

It features inside the page with the quote: “Always remember you matter, you’re important and you are loved and you bring to this world things no one else can.”
And some observers made it obvious that Charlie Mackesy, the book’s author, and Meghan’s sister-in-law Kate’s artwork also featured in the book.
The princess requested Mr. Mackesy to design bespoke illustrations for the order of service for her Christmas Carol concert at Westminster Abbey, which she hosted after receiving cancer, last year.
The author and illustrator stated at the time that “love, empathy, and kindness are significant messages for everyone.” It was very special to have been asked to create the illustration for the Order of Service because The Princess of Wales’ Carol Service is a theme this year. I hope it makes us think how special Christmas is when we are there for one another.
However, taking to X, one who noticed the detail wrote: “It is no coincidence that Meghan Markle chose to use this image of Charlie Mackesy’s book ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’ on her latest Instagram post. This is the same author that Princess Catherine worked with just last year.” While another said: “Of all the books in the entire world, she has to use this book. Truly unbelievable.”
Some, however, defended Meghan’s use of the book in her campaign, saying it was a “highly successful best seller.” The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse are among the tenth-century copies of the books. Has nothing to do with Kate, aside from Meghan owning one.
Meghan promoting her lifestyle brand comes ahead of a big week for the Duchess as the holiday special of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan hits the streaming platform on Wednesday.
Following its release in March, the show, which features Meghan offering hosting advice while cooking with celebrity friends, received scorn from critics. The Christmas special will be available on the streaming platform on December 3 and a second series was released in August.
This will coincide with the King’s plans to host a state visit by the president of Germany, which most members of the Royal Family will be involved in.
In a promo for the series released last week, Prince Harry made a cameo appearance in the the 65-second clip when he and the duchess share a kiss in a kitchen.
In a voiceover from the trailer that was shared to Meghan’s Instagram, Meghan declares, “I love the holiday season.” Finding time to connect with the people we love, embracing traditions, and creating new ones is what it means.
After leaving as senior working royals, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made a lucrative deal with Netflix that is thought to be worth more than $100 million (£74 million).
In August, Harry and Meghan made the announcement that they had reached a new “multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects” with the streaming service.
Despite rumors that the streaming giant may be turning away from her and Harry, Meghan called the agreement “an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership.” At the trailer’s conclusion, viewers are instructed to “discover more holiday cheer, shop As Ever.”
