Meghan Markle officially opened orders for As Ever's first Christmas collection – including $200 (£150) wicker hampers and a luxury advent calendar – yesterday. 

In an Instagram post to mark the launch, the Duchess of Sussex, 45, took the opportunity to celebrate her 'entrepreneurial spirit' that was first stirred selling lemonade and homemade scrunchies as an eight-year-old. 

She paid tribute to her now-defunct lifestyle blog The Tig and honoured her mother Doria Ragland in a video montage set to The Cranberries's hit Dreams and shared on Instagram on Tuesday. 

The clip included several nostalgic pictures from the Duchess's childhood as well as footage of her own daughter, Princess Lilibet, five, excitedly stirring a bowl of jelly and enjoying an afternoon of beekeeping. 

Other details included a subtle nod to her Netflix show With Love, Meghan that ran for two seasons but was ultimately cancelled and a new look inside Prince Harry and Meghan's lavish Montecito mansion. 

But Meghan's video journal also included an apparent cooking blunder as she celebrated how far her domestic goodness brand, As Ever had come since it was launched last year. 

Here are all the hidden details you might have missed in Meghan's ode to her team.

Prince Harry and Meghan's five-year-old daughter Lilibet appears to be following in her mother's footsteps. 

The little princess may have developed a love for cooking by watching Meghan in the kitchen, as the clip showed Lili stirring a pot of what looks like orange jelly. 

Meghan, who is seemingly cooking down berries to prepare jam, can be heard asking, 'What do you think Lili?' in the short snippet.

'I think it's beautiful,' the youngster replies in an American accent. 

However, eagle-eyed fans spotted the gas underneath the pot of jam Meghan is stirring on the stove did not seem to be turned on. 

But darling Lilibet isn't just a budding chef, but also a beekeeper-in-training. The video includes a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance of Lilibet in a white apiarist's suit – complete with a netted mesh hat – filmed in the garden of the £11million Montecito mansion the family called home for six years. 

An awestruck Meghan examines one of her hives and exclaims 'it's so full' before turning around and adding: 'Do you see Lili?' 

The Duchess's master beekeeper Branden Aroyan, who helped set up her hives and worked with her to maintain the colony and gather honey, previously told the Daily Mail that the hobby has become a 'family affair'. 

‘Harry loves it, and Archie and Lilibet are into it too. It’s a whole family affair. They all have their own beekeeper suits. They’re just all super-fascinated by it.’ 

The Duchess also gave fans a view of her and Prince Harry's sprawling Montecito mansion in one of the stills of her Instagram video. 

The picture shows Prince Harry, dressed casually in shorts and a t-shirt, admiring the contents of one of her newly launched festive wicker hampers. 

Meghan, wearing black trousers and a matching tank top, is seated by an early sample of one of her Christmas hampers placed before a large French window – with the house's pale pink walls visible beyond the glass. 

In addition to thanking her 'Tiglets' for keeping the blog alive on Instagram, Meghan credited her 'squad of support' in what some X users felt was a thinly veiled reference to the Sussex Squad – her army of online fans.  

The caption read: 'As I shared years ago on The Tig (PS, love you ladies The Tiglets): “Behind every successful woman is herself” - and that’s true… but there’s more: a community of love, a squad of support, an amazing team.' 

It comes after the Daily Mail reported that the Sussex Squad had 'terrorised' a group of British clergymen after they criticised her new advent calendar.

Meghan unveiled the £112 ($148) gourmet chocolate calendar in an online advert at the weekend while wearing a reported £75,000 worth of clothing and jewellery.

One British vicar who politely criticised the product has been forced to lock his X account after being branded a 'demon' and a 'disgrace to the cloth' by supporters – known colloquially as the Sussex Squad.

The Duchess gave followers a quick peek at a black-and-white family portrait while showing off her As Ever scented candles.

The picture shows Harry and Meghan lying on the ground and laughing, as one of their children's hands rests on the Duchess's face. 

It is displayed in a simple white frame on a dresser in what looks like the Sussexes' Californian abode. 

The candles are a recent addition to As Ever's range; they include two candles inspired by Archie and Lilibet that the Duchess released as part of a Mother's Day Edit earlier this year. 

Signature Candle No. 506 references 'Prince Archie of Sussex's birthdate', May 6, and Signature Candle No. 604 is an homage to Princess Lilibet's June 4 birthday.

Meghan also acknowledged her lifestyle series on Netflix, which was not renewed when the Sussexes's $10million deal with the streamer ended last year. 

One of the pictures in Meghan's video journal showed her popping open a bottle of champagne in the first episode of series two of With Love, Meghan that featured celebrated cookbook author Samin Nosrat. 

For the episode, Meghan dressed in a Carolina Herrera sundress, worth $2,490, and paired it with her Lorraine Schwartz emerald-cut pinky ring and gold stud earrings.   

Meghan's post also paid tribute to American poet Elizabeth Knapp by including an excerpt from one of her Did I Tell You books. 

She reflected on a passage that declared 'there is growth and satisfaction in being part of something larger than yourself' on the page that was clipped with one of her As Ever leather bookmarks. 

The navy accessory is inscribed with the words 'it only gets better' in Meghan's distinct penmanship and was launched last month.  

Meghan's post was steeped in nostalgia for The Tig, the lifestyle blog she founded in 2014 and ran for almost three years. 

A 'passion project' she developed while starring in the US drama series Suits, The Tig became a well-known platform where Meghan shared personal insights alongside content on travel, food, fashion and dining recommendations. 

Meghan shut down The Tig in April 2017 but the website continues to inspire her brand As Ever, she said in the caption of her latest post.

The Duchess thanked the community of readers, dubbed 'The Tiglets', and reflected on an early message on her blog that read: 'Behind every successful woman is herself.'

She included a video from the time she was still running The Tig that showed Meghan eating ten raspberries off her fingers in quick succession. 

Meghan's blog was named after her favourite Tignanello wine. Embracing the role of editor-in-chief, she used the website to share her views on topics ranging from feminism to her passion for philanthropy.

She also shared recipes, make-up and beauty tips, travel advice, and interviews with celebrity friends, including Serena Williams and Priyanka Chopra.

In the ode to her 'entrepreneurship' journey – from selling scrunchies and lemonade during her younger years to running her As Ever – the Duchess included a number of new childhood photos in the montage. 

One of them appeared to have been taken on a skiing holiday, with Meghan bundled up in a lilac windcheater and wearing pink faux fur ear muffs, a bright purple scarf and thick gloves. 

Meghan also subtly honoured her mother Doria Ragland with a sweet picture of the pair that she first shared on International Women's Day last April. 

The black-and-white snap showed the mother-daughter duo enjoying a snack together, as baby Meghan reached for the bag of treats in Doria's arms. 

Prince Harry's wife reminisced about her early experiences selling Girl Scout biscuits as a child that also inspired her to produce a documentary about the historic American tradition, Cookie Queens. 

The Duchess took the opportunity to reshare a childhood image of herself, smiling as she pokes her head around Doria – who was a Girl Scout troop leader – with an arm around a friend as they posed with the rest of her group in Los Angeles.
