Well, folks, it seems the Duchess of Sussex is at it again—this time with a luxury advent calendar inspired by her lavish $14 million Montecito mansion. Because why not add a sprinkle of royal flair to your holiday season? If you thought your traditional cardboard advent calendar filled with stale chocolate was luxurious, think again!
On a recent Wednesday, Meghan teased the launch of this posh calendar through her brand, As Ever. Now, I know what you’re thinking: ‘What could possibly make an advent calendar worth a hundred quid?’ Well, if it’s anything like her home, it probably includes a mini replica of the mansion, a few organic, hand-picked trinkets, and maybe even a sprinkle of fairy dust.
For those not in the know, Meghan and Prince Harry made headlines back in 2020 when they splurged on their California digs. It’s a sprawling estate nestled in the heart of Montecito, where the sunlight is as golden as the couple’s PR team. It’s a house that practically screams, “Look at me, I’m living the dream!”—or at least the dream of a very select few.
Now, let’s talk about this advent calendar for a second. Priced at a cool £100 (that’s around $125 for my friends across the pond), it’s clearly not your average holiday countdown. This is the kind of calendar that might make you feel a little guilty about your choice of a plastic-wrapped chocolate every day.
What can we expect from this extravagant piece of holiday cheer? Rumors suggest it could be filled with luxury items—perhaps a scented candle that smells like the ocean breeze wafting through Montecito, or a tiny bottle of organic olive oil harvested from trees right outside the castle (okay, maybe not a castle, but you get the idea).
But let’s be real for a moment. Who wouldn’t want a taste of that opulent Californian lifestyle? Sure, it’s not exactly the same as spending a cozy night in front of a crackling fireplace in your own living room, but it’s a step in the right direction. Just imagine opening your advent calendar each day—only to find a reminder of how Meghan and Harry are living their best lives while you’re stuck at home binge-watching the latest season of your favorite show.
So, is this advent calendar a brilliant marketing move or just another way for the royal couple to cash in on their fame? Well, it’s probably a bit of both. After all, if you’ve got it, flaunt it—especially when it comes to luxury products. And let’s face it, who wouldn’t want a piece of the royal pie?
In conclusion, while you may not be able to afford a mansion in Montecito, you can at least indulge in a taste of that lifestyle with Meghan’s luxury advent calendar. Just remember to keep the receipts handy in case you need to return it after realizing you could have bought a month’s worth of coffee instead. Happy holidays, everyone!
