Meghan Markle’s As Ever brand has opened preorders for a limited-edition advent calendar made with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés. The 24-piece calendar depicts the Sussexes’ Montecito home, which the family is reported to be keeping while spending an extended period in the U.K.
Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand As Ever has opened preorders for a limited-edition advent calendar made with Los Angeles chocolatier Compartés, featuring an illustration of the Sussexes’ Montecito home. The product combines a 24-piece chocolate collection with imagery of the California property, as the family is reported to be spending an extended period in the U.K.
The calendar contains 24 handcrafted chocolates, one for each day of the advent period, according to the description printed inside the box. The packaging shows Meghan and Prince Harry’s Montecito mansion in a holiday scene. Details include two palm trees associated with the As Ever logo and chickens, both references to images previously shared of the family’s California home.
As Ever announced the collaboration in its newsletter, pairing the product image with the line, “Some things are worth the wait.” In the newsletter image, the chocolates appear to have numbered labels written in what looks like Meghan’s handwriting; that detail is based on the image, rather than a separate confirmation from the brand. The source report describes this as the partnership’s biggest collaboration yet between As Ever and Compartés.
The new calendar follows earlier joint products. The companies first collaborated in December 2025 and worked together again on a Valentine’s Day collection earlier this year, according to the report. It does not state how long preorders will remain open, when the calendar will ship, or how many units are available.
A Product Tied to Montecito
The calendar makes the Montecito house central to a new As Ever product at a time when reports say the Sussexes are spending an extended period in the U.K. The illustration gives the item a personal theme tied to the family’s California life, while its limited-edition positioning and 24 chocolates make it a seasonal retail release. The source material does not provide a price, preorder volume, or sales figures, so the commercial response cannot yet be assessed.
The announcement also extends As Ever’s relationship with Compartés beyond the earlier seasonal collections. The latest collaboration may interest shoppers looking for a holiday gift and followers of the brand, but details needed to judge availability and value have not been reported.

The Sussexes’ Two Homes
The advent calendar’s focus on Montecito comes amid reports that Harry and Meghan have spent an extended period in the U.K. A representative for the couple described the stay as time with family and friends and said they wanted their children to spend more time in a country important to their family story. The source report says the couple is keeping both the Montecito house and a vacation property in Portugal.
Their U.K. stay was characterized as short-term by the representative, but the report says the family’s precise plans were unclear. In a 2022 interview with The Cut, Meghan spoke about the appeal of the Montecito home, saying, “We did everything we could to get this house.” She described the feeling of arriving there as “Joy. And exhale. And calm. It’s healing. You feel free.”
““Some things are worth the wait.””

Preorder and Travel Details
The source report does not give the calendar’s price, shipping date, preorder deadline, or production quantity. It also does not confirm whether the apparent handwriting on the chocolate labels is Meghan’s. The brand’s newsletter image is the basis for that observation.
The Sussexes’ plans in the U.K. remain open-ended. Their representative described an extended autumn stay, but the report says it is unclear how long they will remain there with their children. The calendar’s Montecito imagery does not establish when or how often the family plans to use the property.
Awaiting Release Details
As Ever has opened preorders, and further product information may clarify the calendar’s price, availability, and delivery timing. The source report gives no date for shipment or for the advent calendar’s release. The family’s longer-term U.K. plans also remain unspecified; the representative’s statement described an extended stay in autumn without setting an end date.
