Meghan Markle, Duchess of Sussex, describes expensive candles as “obnoxious” in an interview that was filmed about a decade before she began selling her own fragrance products. According to reports, Markle argues that selling candles priced above $100 would conflict with her “girl next door” business approach and preference for accessible, relatable consumer goods. The outlets also note that Markle has since launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever. The brand’s catalog includes candle and scent offerings, with one currently listed item described as a $256 Signature Scent Collection. While the accounts focus on the earlier remarks about high-priced candles, they link those comments to her later decision to market and sell premium home fragrance products under As Ever. The reporting presents the earlier interview as evidence of Markle’s past views on pricing and consumer positioning, and it contrasts those views with the higher price points shown in current product listings from her brand.
