Meghan Markle has once again showcased her exceptional calligraphy talents with the launch of a new product from her As Ever collection, just in time for the holiday season.
In a recent Instagram post, Meghan’s elegant handwriting is prominently featured on the labels of a honey jar and a set of bookmarks.
One leather bookmark is inscribed with the words “fell asleep here,” while the 9oz honey jars are adorned with the As Ever brand name, all penned in Meghan’s distinct calligraphy style.
The Instagram post, which declares “Our Honey Duo just got sweeter,” announces that this special set is exclusively available at the Godmothers bookshop for a limited period.
In the post, the bookmark is shown nestled in a copy of “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse,” as Meghan is seen writing a personal note inside the book.
This isn’t the first time Meghan has shared her calligraphy expertise. Before her rise to fame, she taught classes in calligraphy, gift-wrapping, and book-binding at the Paper Source store in Beverly Hills from 2004 to 2005, during her early acting days.
In addition to her job at Paper Source, she also worked as a freelance calligrapher, famously writing the invitations for celebrities Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s wedding in 2005.
And she appears to have prompted a surge in sales of calligraphy craft kits with a 2018 trends report from Hobbycraft detailing an increase in interest in calligraphy kits, up 40 per cent from 2017.
Hobbycraft noted that sales peaked over the summer period, in line with the Royal Wedding on the 19 May 2018.

The new product comes as Meghan Markle released her 2025 holiday line earlier this month.
The Duchess of Sussex’s holiday drop introduced a new range of products to the line, including two scented candles that each retailed for $64, a $16 hot toddy and apple cider spice mulling kit, and a special sage honey with honeycomb in it for $32.
Meghan also decided to release a gift set of her signature fruit spreads by introducing strawberry jam into her current mix of orange marmalade and raspberry for just $42.
On her Instagram page, Meghan has been promoting the new products, as she even dropped a promotional video for the holiday collection, which saw her picking apples in an apple orchard while wearing a black, boatneck dress and white cardigan.
However, experts are labelling the products as something that customers may not be too willing to pay for this festive season and is a result of her ‘misreading the room.’
Sarah Schmidt, President of Interdependence Public Relations, said: ‘The vibe of this year’s consumer is that of practicality and quiet comfort. The idea of “everyday luxury” works when people buy into the story,’ she shared.
‘As Ever still feels like it’s selling access to Meghan. And is that something people are willing to pay a premium price for this holiday? Probably not.’
Meghan’s calligraphy is seen throughout her production, and Winnie Park, CEO of Paper Source in the US, has previously spoken about Meghan’s sessions teaching the skill.

She told PEOPLE: ‘She taught calligraphy and hosted a group of customers and instructed them during a two-hour class on how to do calligraphy.
‘She would have advised customers on projects — from wedding invitations to creating personalised stationery to gift-wrapping,’ she adds. ‘She has talked about being a big fan of custom stationery and thinks it’s the best gift to give a friend.’
Meghan wrote about her love of handwritten notes on her former lifestyle blog, The Tig, saying: ‘I think handwritten notes are a lost art form.
‘When I booked my first [TV] pilot, my dad wrote me a letter that I still have. The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special.’
Fans got a glimpse of Meghan’s penmanship in 2019, when author Matt Haig shared a thank you note he received from her after she featured his poem in her guest-edited Vogue issue.
The duchess revealed her flawless handwriting in a thank you letter sent to an author, praising his book ‘A note from the beach’ as a ‘household favourite’.
Posting a picture of the letter from the Duchess, written in calligraphy on a monogrammed ‘M’ card, Matt admitted that he ‘wishes he could tell my young hopeless suicidal self about all of this magic to stay alive for.’
