Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, opened US pre-orders for a $148 As Ever advent calendar designed around her Montecito home on 30 September 2026.
Price, Compartés partnership and US pre-orders are confirmed by As Ever, and the 'move' framing is the papers'. Reported by the Daily Mail and Page Six, September 29-30.
Still open: the delivery date, and whether the calendar will ever be sold in Britain.

THE STORY
Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever sent a mailing-list email on 29 September 2026 and opened US pre-orders the next day at 5pm UK time. The box holds 24 chocolates, and the press release says its countdown numbers were hand-painted in her handwriting in edible gold. The Daily Mail framed it as her first launch since moving back to Britain, while the Sussexes' own statement speaks of an extended autumn stay with Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Does a Montecito-themed calendar change how you read the Sussexes' time in Britain?
