The Duchess of Sussex has launched a range of Christmas candy bars priced at £8.99 each, the day after her festive Netflix special was ridiculed by critics.
The Duchess of Sussex has revealed a collection of Christmas candy bars – just one day after the launch of her much-criticised festive show on Netflix.
Meghan’s limited edition As Ever “Chocolate Holiday Trio” is marketed as “perfect for Christmas gifts, last minute gifts.”
Each 80g bar is priced at US$12 (£8.99), with purchases limited to two bars per customer, and comes packaged in personalized botanical print packaging.
Critics slammed the Duchess’ Christmas show With Love, Meghan, which launched on Wednesday, with one reviewer calling it “pretty crazy and a bit sad”, while others called it “condescending” and recommended viewers take anti-nausea medication before tuning in.
During the show, Meghan gives festive tips, such as allowing Christmas tree decorations to “find their light”, demonstrates how Advent calendars work and encourages people to make “every day” of December memorable.
The new chocolate selection incorporates Meghan’s “beloved signature ingredients,” like raspberry jam and flower sprinkles, to “spark a bit of sweet nostalgia,” according to the company.
The trio of flavors includes dark chocolate made with raspberry jam and sea salt, white chocolate paired with flower chips and hemp hearts, and milk chocolate featuring shortbread cookies and bee pollen.
The white chocolate variety is billed as “as seen on With Love, Meghan.”
Meghan frequently uses flower sprinkles, which retail through As Ever for US$15 (£11.23), and hemp seed hearts throughout the first two sets of her program.
Labeled as “curated by Meghan and made by Compartes chocolatier and tastemaker Jonathan Grahm”, As Ever refers to the confection as “the most coveted set of the season”.
