Halloween is still more than a week away, but retailers are already stocking up for the holidays. That includes the royals’ own lifestyle brands. On Thursday, King Charles’s Highgrove estate added a new line of ceramics to its shop, pieces made in collaboration with Cornishware Ceramics, a British pottery maker known for its striped designs.
The collection includes teapots, mugs, side plates, storage pots, and dog bowls. Each piece is hand-cast from Cornish clay and passes through at least 25 pairs of skilled hands, according to Highgrove’s Instagram announcement. The stripes come in Highgrove’s signature King’s Rose pink and sage green, which is touted to be the only two-tone design Cornishware has ever made. The collection is sold only through Highgrove, and some of the products on sale now include a pink-and-sage dog bowl for $81.86; an egg cup at $34.11; and a sage-green-and-cream teapot with the Highgrove crown on the lid at $95.50.

Gardeners tend the topiary bushes outside Highgrove in 2024.
Highgrove is the king’s private country home in the Cotswolds, a bucolic region of western England, which he shares with Queen Camilla. The estate is known for its organic gardens, and its shop sells goods inspired by them. The catalog ranges from tea, preserves, and honey to scented soaps, grooming products, bone china, and prints of watercolors painted by the king. It has also partnered with British heritage brands, including Burberry on scarves and a sweater. Proceeds go to The King’s Foundation, Charles’s charity that supports nature conservation, education, and traditional craftsmanship.
The launch comes the same day that his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, releases the second chapter of its 2026 holiday collection. The brand teased dog products earlier this month in an Instagram story showing the Sussexes’ Labrador, Pula, carrying what appeared to be a plush version of its raspberry spread. On Wednesday, As Ever posted another image of the toy with the caption: “There’s more to unwrap. 🎁 Our latest holiday arrivals, with new gifts and seasonal favorites to discover. Arriving 10/22 at AsEver.com.”
