Meghan Markle\u2019s As Ever started getting ready for the holidays<\/a> in early October, and now the lifestyle brand is doubling down with the second chapter of its holiday collection. Released on Thursday, the new drop centers on hosting and includes embroidered linen tablecloths and napkins, rattan coasters and wine bottle mats, and a porcelain tea set (with the teapot sold separately from the teacups and saucers).<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex introduced some of the new products in a video<\/a> shared to As Ever\u2019s Instagram page. Set to a soft jazz background, Meghan is first seen walking down the stairs in a cream-white Khaite dress<\/a> with gold jewelry, including her Cartier Tank Fran\u00e7aise watch<\/a>. It is the same look Meghan was seen wearing in promotional imagery<\/a> for the new As ever x Compart\u00e9s chocolate bars released earlier this month. Walking around the table, Meghan is then seeing placing one of these bars\u2014in boxes that appear to match the blue and white color and embroidery pattern of the new linens\u2014on each place setting of the dining table. It appears the video might have been filmed recently as the Khaite dress is still available online:<\/p>\n

The release follows the first chapter earlier this month, which centered on a limited-edition advent calendar<\/a> made with Compart\u00e9s, a Los Angeles-based chocolatier. The calendar holds 24 handcrafted chocolates, each with a numbered label in what appears to be Meghan\u2019s handwriting. Its box features an illustration of the Sussexes\u2019 Montecito, California, home<\/a> in a holiday scene, with nods to the family\u2019s two backyard palm trees, which also appear in the As Ever logo, and their chickens<\/a>. The calendar is still available to preorder, with delivery expected in early November.<\/p>\n

The brand has been dropping teasers hinting at what the second holiday drop would include. In an Instagram story earlier this month, Meghan shared behind-the-scenes footage of the planning process, which ended with the Sussexes’ Labrador, Pula, carrying what appeared to be a plush version<\/a> of the brand\u2019s famous raspberry spread<\/a>. On Wednesday, As Ever posted another image of the toy with the caption: \u201cThere\u2019s more to unwrap. Our latest holiday arrivals, with new gifts and seasonal favorites to discover.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch also coincides with the same day that her father-in-law King Charles\u2019s Highgrove estate released a new line of ceramics, including dog bowls, made with British pottery maker Cornishware.<\/p>\n

The As Ever holiday collection is being released as the Sussexes settle into life in the UK. They moved their family back<\/a> to Britain in August, and they made their first official public appearance together<\/a> in Nottingham last week. The family is keeping its Montecito home and a vacation property in Portugal. However, while their two children have been enrolled in a local school<\/a>, it remains unclear how long the family will stay in the UK. It also hasn\u2019t been announced if they will spend the holidays in Britain with the royal family, or whether they will return to California.<\/p>\n
