Reports suggest that it has been revealed exactly how much stock Meghan Markle has for sale on her As Ever lifestyle website via Daily Mail.
Users on Reddit stated that they were able to exploit a bug in the As Ever website to reveal precise stock numbers for her collection of spreads, honeys, candles, teas and wines.
The sleuths stated that they were given the figures after trying to add an abnormally large number of items to their online shopping basket, prompting the website to disclose the maximum stock it actually had available.
If accurate, the figures revealed by the website, which says it sells ‘small-batch spreads, honeys and pantry favourites for everyday moments worth savouring’ – are massive.
The stock, seen in alleged screenshots of the website, include more than 220,000 jars of spread; 30,000 jars of honey, 30,000 mulling kits, almost 90,000 candles; over 110,000 jars of tea; and 80,000 jars of edible flower sprinkles.
A similar exploit for her wine venture revealed more than 70,000 bottles were sitting unsold, including almost 7,000 Bruts, 46,000 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and nearly 24,000 bottles of Rose.
Were these levels of stock sold in full at list price, they would bring in an income exceeding $21million for the Duchess.
As the post went viral, the As Ever website was amended to remove the exploit, with purchase limits put in place for goods.
Users can buy up to 50 spread gift boxes, or 20 bottles of wine.
Those who now try to add a load 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 led to 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.
