£112 For Chocolate?! — Meghan Markle Savaged Over ‘RIDICULOUS’ Advent Calendar… And The Price Has Fans FUMING! Meghan Markle’s Latest As Ever Launch Has Sparked A Fierce Backlash After Her New Advent Calendar Went On Sale For £112—with Some Critics Questioning How 24 Chocolates Could Justify The Eye-watering Price. The Limited-edition Calendar Is Inspired By Meghan’s Former Montecito Home And Features Handcrafted Chocolates, Edible Gold Detailing And Numbers Apparently Written In Her Own Penmanship. But Some Social-media Users Branded The Offering Overpriced And “Ridiculous.” Twenty-four Chocolates. One Luxury Box. And A Price Tag That Has Turned Meghan’s Festive Launch Into A Very Different Kind Of Conversation.

MEGHAN MARKLE’S £112 ADVENT CALENDAR HAS ARRIVED — 24 CHOCOLATES, A VERY PERSONAL MONTECITO DESIGN… AND A PRICE TAG THAT HAS LEFT SOME FANS SEEING RED. 👀🍫

Christmas Has Barely Arrived — But Meghan Markle Has Already Given The Internet Something To Talk About.

The Duchess of Sussex’s As Ever brand has unveiled its first-ever Advent calendar, created with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés and packed with 24 handcrafted chocolates.

There’s Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry And Orange Marmalade-Inspired Flavours, Along With A Chocolate Finished With As Ever’s Signature Flower Sprinkles And A Dark Chocolate Ganache Truffle. Each Piece Even Carries Its Countdown Number In Meghan’s Handwriting, Painted In Edible Gold.

But It Wasn’t The Chocolates That Immediately Grabbed Attention.

It Was The $148 (£112) Price Tag — And The Box Itself.

The Keepsake Design Is Inspired By Meghan And Prince Harry’s Montecito Home And Garden, Complete With Palm Trees And Chickens, turning the Sussexes’ California property into the centrepiece of the festive countdown.

And Online, Some Reactions Were Brutal.

One critic questioned who would spend $148 on 24 chocolates, while others mocked the price and the decision to put the Montecito home so prominently on the packaging. Others, however, praised the collaboration and called it a charming luxury Christmas launch.

There’s Another Twist: the calendar is currently available for US pre-order, but As Ever does not ship to the UK.

24 CHOCOLATES. ONE VERY FAMILIAR HOUSE. AND A £112 PRICE TAG THAT HAS TURNED MEGHAN’S LATEST CHRISTMAS LAUNCH INTO THE ROYAL DEBATE OF THE WEEK. 🍫👀
