Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, stirred up a jam revolution with the launch of her latest venture, American Riviera Orchard. Meghan, at 42, unveiled her chic lifestyle brand on March 14, and the ripple effect on the preserves market has been nothing short of astonishing.
Meghan tantalized taste buds by dispatching the inaugural batch of her jams, gifting 50 jars to a select circle of friends and influencers. With the click of a camera, social media platforms were soon aflutter with images of Meghan’s stylishly packaged products, setting off a frenzy that caught the attention of her father-in-law, King Charles.
Within hours of the online jam session, the Highgrove website reported a royal sell-out of King Charles’ strawberry jam, signaling a seismic shift in the preserves paradigm. The Monarch’s range, boasting flavors from marmalade to raspberry and blackberry, suddenly found itself dethroned by Meghan’s culinary coup.
