Meghan Markle has finally launched the first product from her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, unveiled her passion project to the world last month, and it seems as though her close friends have finally got their hands on what Markle has been working on.
On Monday, some of the “Suits” alum’s close pals rushed to social media to show the jam jars they’ve received from the royal.
Designer Tracy Robbins, who became close pals with Markle after they attended the “One Love” film premiere in Jamaica earlier this year, showed off her jam jar from the Duchess.
“@americanrivieraorchard breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a little sweeter 🤍,” Robbins wrote on her Instagram Story.
“Thank you for the delicious basket! I absolutely love this jam so not sure I’m sharing with anyone. Thank you, M! #MontecitoGoodness #AmericanRivieraOrchard,” added Robbins, who is married to Paramount boss Brian Robbins.
On the jar, it said “17 of 50,” meaning that Markle sent out a total of 50 homemade strawberry jam jars to friends and influencers.
Argentinian model Delfina Blaquier, who is the wife of Prince Harry’s close friend and polo player Nacho Figueras, was also a recipient of American Riviera Orchard’s first drop.
Taking to her Instagram Story Monday, the model shared an image of the jam jar that read, “10 of 50.”
“Strawberry jam makes me happy. And I love your jam, @AmericanRivieraOrchard,” Blaquier wrote alongside an image of the jam spread on a piece of toast.
According to those close to the Duchess, the brand’s name is a sweet nod to Santa Barbara, Calif., as it has been nicknamed the “American Riviera” for over a century.
It is also where she and her husband reside with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
While the brand will be releasing a wide range of products in addition to jam, it has been pointed out that Markle might have some stiff competition from her estranged family from across the pond.
Markle could have found inspiration from her father-in-law King Charles’s Duchy of Cornwall estate, which has been selling its jam at top grocery stores in the UK for years.
It’s currently unclear if Markle’s new products will be up for sale on Harry’s home soil.
The American Riviera Orchard website is currently blank, only asking visitors to provide their email if they want to be notified about “products, availability, and updates” from the brand.
The brand’s bio reads, “By Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.”
Additionally, a trademark application reveals the brand plans to sell tableware, drinkware including decanters, kitchen linens and edible treats such as jellies, jams, marmalade and spreads.
The trademark application is awaiting examination and is seeking approval for cookbooks.
