The Duchess of Sussex utilized a rare family cameo to launch her latest high-end lifestyle venture on Wednesday, releasing behind-the-scenes footage featuring Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The digital promotion marks the official rollout of a limited-edition collaboration between Meghan’s brand, As Ever, and luxury florist High Camp Supply.
The Montecito Production
The promotional video, shared via Instagram on March 18, offers a curated look into the Sussexes’ private Montecito estate. In a departure from the couple’s usual privacy protocols, the footage captured candid interactions between Meghan, 44, and her children.
- Prince Archie: The 6-year-old was seen briefly running through the frame during a floral arrangement session.
- Princess Lilibet: The 4-year-old made a more prominent appearance, whispering to her mother before the two exited the frame together.
- Visual Continuity: New photographs released alongside the video showcased both children with the signature red hair inherited from Prince Harry’s lineage—a trait Harry has previously attributed to the Spencer family.
The Duchess captioned the post, “Mama’s little helpers 💫 BTS of our shoot for @aseverofficial at our home,” signaling a strategy that blends family life with her growing lifestyle empire.
Strategic Branding: The Garden Tea Bloom Box
The centerpiece of the announcement is The Garden Tea Bloom Box, a $255 luxury offering. This collaboration marks a significant expansion for As Ever, which launched in 2025 following the Duchess’s departure from senior royal duties.
Product Specifications
The limited-edition box integrates botanical elements with “pantry comforts,” a hallmark of the As Ever aesthetic:
- Florals: High Camp gardenias, peonies, camellia greens, jasmine, and mint.
- Pantry Items: As Ever Herbal Peppermint Tea and Sage Honey with Honeycomb.
The inclusion of jasmine serves as a subtle nod to the Duchess’s personal history; the flower was a primary component of her 2018 royal wedding bouquet.

From Netflix to Retail
The launch aligns with the narrative established in Meghan’s 2025 Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. In the program, she detailed her transition into floral design, citing a baby shower for Prince Archie as the catalyst for her interest.
“I started to find this really calming and meditative,” the Duchess remarked during the series, positioning her brand as an extension of her personal wellness journey.
Economic Outlook
Industry analysts suggest that by featuring her children in promotional content, Meghan is humanizing the As Ever brand to compete with established celebrity lifestyle giants. By leveraging the high public interest in Archie and Lilibet, the Duchess ensures maximum digital engagement for a product line that targets a high-net-worth demographic.
