Amateur internet detectives claim they’ve uncovered the massive stockpile Meghan Markle has available on her lifestyle website, As Ever—far more than what could fit into her kitchen pantry.

Reddit users report finding a glitch on the As Ever site that lets them access detailed stock numbers for items like spreads, honeys, candles, teas, and wines.

These digital sleuths discovered the figures by attempting to add an unusually large quantity of items to their shopping carts, causing the site to disclose its actual inventory limits.

If these findings are accurate, the stock levels for the website—which promotes “small-batch spreads, honeys, and pantry favorites for everyday moments worth savoring”—are enormous.

Alleged screenshots from the site show a staggering inventory: over 220,000 jars of spread, 30,000 jars of honey, 30,000 mulling kits, nearly 90,000 candles, more than 110,000 jars of tea, and 80,000 jars of edible flower sprinkles.

A similar trick applied to her wine collection revealed more than 70,000 bottles in inventory, including nearly 7,000 bottles of Brut, 46,000 of Sauvignon Blanc, and almost 24,000 bottles of Rosé.

Were these levels of stock sold in full at list price, they would bring in an income exceeding $21million for the Duchess.

Shortly after the post went viral, the As Ever website was amended to remove the exploit, with purchase limits put in place for goods. 

Meghan Markle’s As Ever website suffered a bug that appeared to expose the precise stock of spreads, teas and other goods for sale

As Ever promotes its goods as ‘small batch pantry favourites for everyday moments worth savouring’

But some of its goods are seemingly available in huge numbers, such as a set of fruit spreads with 44,949 units listed as available (above)

Users can buy up to 50 spread gift boxes, or 20 bottles of wine. As Ever has not commented on the bug.

Those who now try to add a truckload of jelly to their basket are greeted with an error or the message: ‘The quantity requested exceeds our current stock. Please adjust your order or contact support for bulk inquiries.’

The bug was identified by Reddit user InfiniteSky55, who said they had tried to add 200,000 of each item to their shopping basket on As Ever.

It prompted a flurry of activity as users rushed to the website to verify the seemingly huge number of items kept in stock.

In total, there were more than 572,000 lifestyle items such as spreads and teas for sale, and over 77,000 bottles of wine for sale.

The figures, if verified, may give an insight into Meghan’s business and what her fans buy: there are far more boxed gift sets of fruit spread available than unboxed.

Her Signature No 519 candle, named after the date she and Prince Harry were married, appears to sell better than the Signature No 084, which takes its name from her birthday of August 4.

Sources close to the Duchess have pointed out that As Ever’s early product lines sold out within minutes of going on sale. 

The Duchess herself has said she has been ramping up stock levels as she prepares to launch As Ever in other countries, and suggested in a recent interview she had put in a purchase order for a million jars to meet demand.

‘It’s an incredible thing for any small business and any start-up,’ she told Bloomberg’s The Circuit in August of the first sell-out run.

‘We prepped for the second seasonal drop and ten-exed (multiplied by a factor of 10) our inventory. We thought for sure it would at least last for a couple of weeks – that sold out in a couple of hours.

‘The conversation goes from at the start of this year talking about a few thousand jars and lids to, “we need to do a purchase order of a million”.’

The Duchess’ characterisation of the brand as a cosy, homegrown kitchen table start-up are contrasted with its ever-growing industrial production processes.

Two months after she launched As Ever in April 2025, it emerged that its branded tea was being produced by a firm with a factory in Illinois – and being sold by the Duchess at triple the price.

Producer the Republic of Tea sells a tin of 36 hibiscus teabags for $11.50 (£8.50), or 23p a cup; Meghan’s own hibiscus teas, which come from the firm, sell for $12 (£9) for 12, or 74p each. 

References to the Republic of Tea were peppered across the As Ever website and its metadata – information written into website code often used by search engines – until they were uncovered by the Daily Mail, when they were promptly removed.

The products were not identical: the Republic of Tea’s teabags are round and unbleached, while the Duchess’ products come in triangular bags with string.

The Mail later learned that other products such as fruit spreads and honey were, at one time, made at the Illinois facility too.

Some products, such as the Flower Sprinkles, appeared to be more abundantly in stock than others – some 80,000 units were allegedly available

Meghan’s Signature 084 candle – named after her August 4 birthday – was in much more plentiful stock than the 519 candle, named after her wedding date to Harry, May 19

Despite the industrial process involved, sources close to the Duchess maintain that the version produced in factories ‘started with the version Meghan makes at home and (producers) worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale’.

And she has made no secret of the need to turn to large-scale production, with a video on the As Ever Instagram showing jars being filled at a factory.

She added in the Bloomberg interview: ‘I’m exasperated in some ways by that only because it is such a tedious proposition to scale your own home recipe to something at mass and maintain the same, not just quality, but flavour that you’re able to do at home.’

Meghan developed As Ever in collaboration with Netflix after rebranding it from American Orchard Riviera.

It is tied to her streaming show With Love, Meghan, which shows her sharing cooking and lifestyle tips with friends and celebrity guests.

The first season failed to crack Netflix’s top 300 most-watched shows for the first half of 2025, and the show has been met with dismal critical reviews throughout its run. 

Harry and Meghan signed a new ‘first-look’ deal with Netflix, with looser terms, in August last year.

As Ever, and the Duchess’ representatives, were contacted for comment.
