44-year-old Meghan Markle has already started getting ready for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.
On her social media, the Duchess of Sussex posted a video showing her hanging a traditional Christmas stocking over the fireplace. The home around her is fully decorated for the season: garlands of evergreen branches, glowing string lights, and festive ornaments create a warm holiday atmosphere.

It appears Meghan used the moment to subtly promote the new holiday collection from her brand As Ever. She announced the collection on October 28: it includes sparkling wine, candles, fruit pâtés, and a variety of other seasonal items.
Recently, Meghan faced criticism over one particular item — the Signature Candle No. 519, which is also part of the holiday line. The candle was reportedly inspired by the date of Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding. Critics argued that the Duchess of Sussex is once again attempting to profit from her association with the British royal family, despite the fact that she and Harry stepped back from royal duties and relocated to the United States in 2020.
