“The marketing material says Archie's candle has "notes of ginger, neroli, and cashmere," while Lili's "Amber, water lily, and santal come together in this gorgeous scent that evokes the feeling of a breathtaking summer’s day."”
CORROBORATED
Multiple web search results independently detail the scent notes for both candles. One source specifies Archie's notes as ginger, neroli, and cashmere, and Lilibet's as amber, water lily, and santal, matching the claim's description.

“Meghan and Prince Harry have a policy of not showing their children's faces in online photos posted to Meghan's Instagram out of respect for their privacy, but continue to reference them, including in contexts where they are turning a profit, such as their Netflix shows.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim states a 'policy' regarding Instagram photos and profit-generating contexts like Netflix. While one web search suggests they 'seldom share photos' and another mentions 'leveraging their royal connections,' there is no single source that definitively establishes a formal, ongoing 'policy' across all mentioned areas (Instagram, Netflix, etc.). The evidence is suggestive but not fully corroborated across multiple independent sources regarding the stated policy.

“The boxes are a partnership with the brand Compartes, which has its own Mother's Day boxes retailing at $70 for 20, or $3.50 per chocolate.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies that the chocolate boxes are a partnership with Compartes and details Compartes' own Mother's Day box pricing ($70 for 20). While the web search results mention Compartés chocolate boxes and pricing, the connection establishing that the *Meghan* boxes are a direct partnership with Compartes, and the specific pricing comparison, is derived from limited, non-corroborated search results.
