Royal Scandal Erupts Over Luxury Candles: Buckingham Palace at Odds with As Ever Brand. In a shocking move, luxury candle brand As Ever has released a new line of scented candles inspired by the birth dates of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. What's sparking controversy, however, is the brand's decision to market the candles using the children's HRH titles, a move that has raised eyebrows at Buckingham Palace. The late Queen Elizabeth II had explicitly stated that these titles should not be used for commercial purposes, leaving many to wonder if As Ever has overstepped its bounds.


The new As Ever candles are inspired by Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's birth dates and marketing materials call them by their HRH titles — though Queen Elizabeth never intended for the titles to be used for profit.
