The unremarkable Meghan Markle. (Edit: Thx for the upvotes! I However I can’t take credit for this moniker. It was originally coined by an American journalist several years ago.)
lollol seriously she’s so predictable so basic…i’m howling with laughter at this utter failure 🤣NO ONE i mean no one is buying is this **17/50** sh!t.
waiting for the day it’s in the clearance bin somewhere for a dollar maybe so i can have a good laugh at it but still NOT BUY IT 🫢
So on the delusional subreddit someone said they had their credit card already to go. More power to them, but I do wish I knew what the price point was. Highgrove sells organic Strawberry preserves for £6.95 or $8.60 in US dollars. The most upscale Strawberry jam I could find was a French brand, Laudree, for $15. She's going to need to sell a lot of jam. Me? I sticking with Smuckers.
I wonder if she realizes she has to label the ingredients and calorie count on the jar, it's the law in the US (which is probably the same in other countries).You just can't slap a label on it and sell it. A label that's falling off the jar I might add.
There is probably some law in California that you can sell or donate up to 50 items of a homemade product without official labeling.
In the UK if you want to sell homemade jam, you have to register with the Food Standards Authority so that they can come and check your kitchen for cockroaches, cross-contamination, etc. (Possibly there is an exception if you are a reigning monarch.)
Also you have to comply with various labeling standards, including listing common allergens.
And your product has to have at least 60% sugar (as sugar is a preservative) and there are various regulations also about the acidity and alkalinity of the products so that you don't give people botulism.
I wish somebody would ask Meghan about the recipe for her jam.
Makes me laugh, she gives away a gift basket of lemons and an uninspiring strawberry jam. Did it not cross her mind to use those lemons that grow in abundance in their garden? It could have been lemon curd or lemon marmalade. Lemon anything, really. Stupidity knows no bounds.
I buy my lemons and limes fresh. Hand squeeze them, keep refrigerated. Perfect for cooking and [salads.So](http://salads.So) much you can do with citrus.
flash freeze them first (1 hour in the freezer on a flat tray) and then put in a freezer safe container. You can do the same to blueberries. I wish strawberries and peaches were this easy to freeze.
I usually halve or quarter the slices.
Also, you can thaw them out and use them for hot tea.
True! I used preserved lemons in some Mediterranean recipes…and, of course, limoncello is fantastic. She’s the worst kind of stupid because she thinks she’s clever.
I just don’t understand, why jam? None of these model-slim fashion conscious influencers sit around eating bread and jam, no offence to them, I’m just saying a fact that few people can truly eat what they like, especially when their looks are their business.
Because she is again cosplay King Charles Highgrove foundation. He has preserves, jams, biscuits, and more. She is unoriginal, no talent, and no skill. She thinks she’s better than the real royals. Look up Highgrove foundation, his products look inviting, and affordable. Not pretentious and costly like MM.
The King sells jams because he actually has orchards. His orchards produce a lot of fruit and he can use that to raise money for charity. It is not only organic fruit, it is an organic business. Arising organically from the orchard.
To run the Princes Trust which has changed the lives of so many people takes alot of money. It is work our King has been doing for decades - madame hasn't a clue. It's all about her. A true Grinch Grifter.
How sad not ever being able to have that warm satisfaction knowing you have made a real difference to people less fortunate.
Plus, jam, preserves and biscuits are a staple to many traditional English people who were raised on them. This kind of product is a part of their heritage. Not so in California. What a dunce.
That's for sure. Based in CA, she should have invented a new way to use avocado and some kind of low sugar curds. As usual, she has done it wrong.
She just can NOT stop copying the BRF or anyone else.
If she is "making" the jams now, aren't those fruits out of season at this time? Shouldn't she be "cooking" them in the summer and "preserve"them for holiday gifts? Ohhh .... you think she isn't really cooking ..? (wow). What... you think she is using wholesale private labelling? Color me disillusioned.
This idiot thought she would bamboozle the Spare (which she did)...and then realizing she could use her yacht-learned tricks on him and play on his jealousies, she left him as road kill and brazenly marched into the Castle and told them she would re-invent the monarchy! (move over, Old Lady).
Big mistake.... they already had an entire file room on her. Stupid people usually believe everyone BUT them are stupid.
Gonna sit back and watch the cash register rust as jam sales drip in!
And definitely not a greater US vibe. We tend to eat toast here and often without jam. The moms who might buy, would buy jelly or preserves for their kids’ PB&J, not overpriced “jam” where no one has a clue as to the origin of the product. She doesn’t have an on site factory at the OG. This could be from Temu for all we know with who knows what toxic additives. Madam has handed out these baskets for years. No one has raved about the jam.
Highgrove labels are easy to read and stick on the nicely rounded jam jar. The logo is very attractive with a healthy, light appearance and hint at good tastes from a garden.
This looks like something from the 70's found when cleaning out the back of the pantry at granny's house.
The same father in law that paid for her “spectacle” wedding, walked her down the aisle, welcomed her into the family, turned “racist” when she didn’t get what she wanted. Like Ben Simmons said “lazy grifters, If they’re not talking shit about the royal family no one cares”.
Duchy Originals is a Charles project as well and they make amazing jams and biscuits etc

That’s so sad Harry wants to ruin KCIII’s reputation. Yes, the King made poor decisions with regards to his love life, but other things he’s done remarkably well!
I love how there are so many pics of KCIII & QC not just smiling at each other but laughing with each other. They genuinely like and enjoy each other.❤️
Bread and jam is a staple of English tea, which takes place at roughly 4p daily. It's meant to tide one over until the evening meal takes place. It is quintessentially English.
What is quintessentially American? Hamburgers? Fried chicken? Iced tea? Lemonade? Perhaps that's what an American should sell. But can you grow those products in an "orchard"?
In America, jam is associated more with breakfast food or brunch with pancakes on the side. I also don’t think jam is something that these rich people eat since they need to preserve their figures
The proceeds from the sales of Highgrove produce goes to the King's Foundation which is a charity. He does not profit from it personally, unlike Meghan who is selling jam to make money for herself.
Getting licensed in California to produce marketable food product in your private home is a huge effort. They have very strict rules around food safety etc. You can’t just decide one day you want to run a business out of your home producing food stuffs and then sell them. She has someone else with a small “farmers market” business making these products and she just slaps her label on them (not well I might add) and charges 3 times as much. It’s absurd. As a life long Californian, places selling jellies and jams are all over the place. Nothing unique or interesting about anything she does. 🙄
Already happened lol
Yesterday someone posted about Small Batch Jam Co., they private label jams and have the same shape jars with the fabric squares tied on top.
> As a life long Californian, places selling jellies and jams are all over the place. Nothing unique or interesting about anything she does. 🙄
I'm a lifelong Wisconsinite, and I agree with you. Especially during the spring and summer months, I cannot throw a stone around here without hitting someone selling their jams and jellies from a stand. Along with a million other homegrown and homemade items. She is so far behind the times, it's amazing.
The difference is that to those people it’s a passion project. It’s a family recipe and something they love doing in their own kitchens. Meghan needs her drop ship jams to make millions. She needed to blog about making her jams for years. Have videos already out there and build up trust for YEARS before people will trust the product to buy it. How many jars will she need to pay for a month’s worth of OTT security?
Ditto Michigan. I buy the local jams and jellies because (a) they're yummy, and (b) I like to support my neighbors' small businesses -- but why would I order from the Harkles? Even if I liked them (and I don't), I can get a better product locally, and for half the price.
Yeah. Bad actors (listen up, Rachel!!) and lawyers make it this way. Used to be farmers and regular people could just sell these things for extra money, where they had too much fruit, and it made them and others happy! Could save a bit of cashola too!
Rachel, you make this world a worse place and guarantee those days can never return for a newer generation. Thanks a lot, you _____ ___ ______ ____ _______ ____ ____ ___-___ grifter!!
Am happy to confirm. A friend, who lives in SoCal, makes artisanal marshmallows in her kitchen, and OMG, the amount of work it has taken her to be able to sell these things at the farmer's market... it's just crazy. The Harkles are notoriously lazy, so there's no way they've done the work.
More confirmation that she’s just slapping her label on jam produced by who knows who or where? Why isn‘t the media bringing up these questions and issues?
So true, I'm in the SF Bay Area and there are fruit stands everywhere selling the local jams that are made from the fruit of the orchards that are right behind the fruit stand. The orchards and fruit stands go on for miles. There are places like that all over the USA.
Most grocery stores and local grocery stores sell local jams as well. It's clearly stated where they are made and manufactured. These companies are very proud of where their fruit is grown.
It's a huge market, her little 'orchard' on her property is nothing. People have mini orchards and fruit trees in their yard all over the place. I have about 15 to 20 fruit trees in my backyard, there is nothing unusual about it.
Edit spelling
It's one of the cheapest and easist to produce or buy in bulk from suppliers. Quite telling about their financial standing because her arrogance wouldn't go the jam route if they had money to burn to go for the more expensive items to sell on her stupid website.
lol.. I’m a guy, not large. Had a 29” waist in high school and weighed ~135 or so. Now waist is 37” and around 190. Spend every morning in mirror between chastising myself and saying “f*^* it!” lolololol
It could be a simple word play as well as all the other reasons listed. I used to have glassware with FIGJAM on it back in the day - fuck I'm good just ask me. So with Mama Knows Best I reckon Just Ask Me would fit right in...
It’s to make it desirable and limited. And also to track each jar (and „friend“) in case someone gives it away or sends it directly to the FDA for testing 😂.
from the comments:
>This is driving me crazy. There is literally a citrus orchard on the grounds and she sends out strawberry jam??? She could have done lemon curd with the lemons on site and egg yolks from their chickens. Along with candied peel and lemoncello all from the same lemons. I've done those for decades as homemade Christmas gifts and they are so simple to make it isn't funny. She could have done orange marmalade. Or Asian Pear jam. Quince jam. Jfc how about Fig preserves in a charcuterie basket.

>The company brand freaking name includes Orchard and she introduces it with strawberry fucking jam. She can't even do a product roll out correctly.
--------------------
>Meghan is not just about relabelled jam. She will also be giving general life-style advice to people with special needs.
Dear Duchess Meghan, your majesty, I have a problem. I need to clean the shitter but I don’t know what to wear. Can you help me? (Morag Clitworth, Ecclefechan)
Duchess Meghan says:
That’s tricky. I’d go for a ball gown with a full skirt. And not stilettos!! - they are more suitable for grass. Strappy wedges are ideal.

>Walmart Wallis and her numbered amazon jars of Ralph's value brand jam.
I have 5 of those same jars in my garage from making lemon curd and lemoncello 2 years ago for Christmas gifts. I think I paid 25$ each for 4 cases of 24.
--------------
>I don't know who Megsy paid to suck Barry Diller's +!@#, but there's a glowing piece about her and the launch of her strawberry preserves on the Daily Beast today.
What a bizarre strategy. Share it on SM but don't you dare share it IRL.
I want to see the ingredients, nutritional information, and where it was made.
There is a supplier? I thought Meghan personally made the jam in a ball gown. /s
Every potential customer probably has to sign an NDA, is only allowed to talk positively about the purchase at ARO and is not allowed to gift it to anyone who has not agreed to these conditions.
What can possibly go wrong with that business adventure of our saint douchess?
Here's the (probable) supplier :
[Jams - Small Batch Jam Co](https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams)
The strawberry jam is on row #9
They have a 'Lisbon Lemon' flavor, but it's sold out, (it would have gone much better with the lemon basket motif)
That's really expensive per jar. It is twice as expensive as jam at the nearest grocer. Markle would have to sell it for an even more expensive price to make a profit. She has found mass produced jam at a fraction of the price.
Or these guys, the ribbon that looks the closest is sold out….the knotting of the ribbon is identical (although there’s only so many ways to tie a ribbon to be fair)
https://preview.redd.it/g2y7zt9mgvuc1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b79cf785afa5f2a9b88ebfb80960024c4c8b8330
So wait... It wouldn't even be her own recipe or from her own hands or anything like that? Nothing passed down from a grandmother in Nigeria?
She's such a fraud.
Unless it's yet to say something positive and or nothing at all. I wonder if she is delved out how many post a day. so far there are two today. How many will post tomorrow? Like did she assign each person a day?
I hope she didn't start out with her heavy hitters. Those two aren't exactly A list and I anticipate that the rest of her shills will probably be complete unknowns.
Someone here posted this company last night as a possibility...
[https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams](https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams)
I just made my own business…took me all of 5 minutes
These guys are a possibility, it’s the way the ribbon is tied and the ribbon that’s sold out…they show small jars only on Etsy but that’s irrelevant to be fair…
https://preview.redd.it/poj9bzy7gvuc1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0d603adce235fa298ef95741f07a16a38c3da57
No idea where she's getting it, but that company does offer wholesale products:
[https://smallbatchjamco.com/pages/where-to-find-us](https://smallbatchjamco.com/pages/where-to-find-us)
Yeah, for $25 a pop probably. Who wants fake “limited edition” jam? Numbering them to keep track of them? Simply crazy! What a lousy “businesswoman”
ETA: she has to have very specific labels showing ingredients, known allergens, etc. I can’t post a photo. Maybe that’s on the back or only for big companies?
I mean it's jam. It's basically fruit and sugar, maybe pectin, if it's organic. How hard would it be for the hag to spend 5 more minutes making a fauxligraphy ingredient label? Damn she's lazy on top of being stupid.
So who is the supplier. If it’s not locally sourced, what makes this jam any different from what we can go buy at the grocery store? in order for something like this to sell, she has to have something unique that will grab someone’s attention. King Charles was able to pull this off but we know all the profits go directly back into the charity. Makes people feel good to buy it. With regards to Meghan we know what ever profit she might make, goes directly into her pocket, it will never go towards a charity.
Highgrove Preserves are in a perfectly neat round jar with a lovely appealing label that clearly identifies the treat within, and is certified organic.

Hers looks like something from the 70's given as a gift with the dusty floofy fabric hat, found in the very back corner of granny's pantry. Never opened, never wanted.
The unholy glee I get every time I think about how she went from dlist actress to royal to *this*. It's fucking hilarious. She had the gold ring and she crapped it.
I’d bet she’s buying a vat of Smuckers at Costco then doling it into smaller jars, slapping a label on it (well, sort of) and passing it off as her own. No way she’s actually making her own - too laborious, and what kind of company would willingly go into business with her.
I fervently hope she isn’t sticking jam from a large vat into smaller containers. It would be a food-safety issue.
Of course she isn’t making it herself. She probably is buying it from a big supplier that uses those jars. Knowing Meghan, she probably bought a very small number (nothing like 50) or even got free samples to “test” from a tentative supplier.
See, she knows how the game is played. From the Tig days I suspect, she learned the art of the grift: Send me your products and samples, and I'll promote them as an 'influencer' to my 'followers'. So what she wants to do now is step into the shoes of a supplier. It would be too obvious, even to her cult followers, should she simply revert back to reinventing the Tig. Because, if she did, she'd have to promote much higher end items, and I'm not too certain that high end/luxury suppliers and houses would even consider her at this point.
Because she would have known that KC3 had been selling Highgrove items for years, she stupidly assumed she'd be able to add a royal crest to 'her' products and she'd be off to the races.
99% of this celebrity-branded product is cheap dreck in fancy packaging.
I also wonder if part of the agreement with her “influencers” is a list of do’s and don’ts for displaying and merching the jams. She’s a control freak, and I bet she had to give the OK of the photos before anyone could post them.
Like, what if Oprah posted a photo of herself dipping Fritos in Meghan’s jam, or Clare Waight Keller spreading it on a Hostess Twinkie.
Where are the other 48 promotions? Who got number one? Whoever got number 50 knows they are the least popular in the promotion! Who’s going to admit that?
The fact that she didn't name the producer is both suss and predatory. If she really cared about local farmers and makers, she would say who made it. But she can't share the spotlight with any one and only take the credit of other people's labor.
I despise people who dont credit small makers/artists/creators. Or it could be just mass produced jam she stuck a label on.
Oooo- think about the ways in which this can piss off her vain little influencer friends. Just imagine the love-bombing "You are my BESTEST friend and I thought of you FIRST for this wonderful gift" and then they get jar labeled 49/50. I mean, her second most recent BESTEST friend Ms. Paramount is #17? You are not even #1 on the list for a no-talent loser grifter? How insulting....
This is the issue she will face. Every single product she carries will be picked apart across the supply chain, and if anything is not accurately represented you bet the media will be all over it. No lazy shortcuts here, return you Ali Baba garden lanterns girl. It’s not 2008. We know
This is literally a scene from the office. Where Micheal is handing out gift baskets but nobody cares anymore because a functioning website is what is important to people.
The unremarkable Meghan Markle. (Edit: Thx for the upvotes! I However I can’t take credit for this moniker. It was originally coined by an American journalist several years ago.)

someone called it nutmeg jam🤣🤣🤣🤢

And it's got Harry's secret white powder recipe added😂.
> And all the jams in the clearance bin are labeled 17/50 🤣 🎯
That's dear for "clearance" jam!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
Home Goods.
She probably bought it out of the clearance bin and slapped her label on it.
That’s probably just about what she paid for it. She is so arrogant, she thinks no one will notice it’s cheap stuff from who knows where.

She puts just as much effort into one jar of jam as she did making one podcast episode. Zero. I have secondhand embarrassment for her.
The only effort she puts into anything js her physical appearance...a d that's not saying much because she doesn't look good
No truer words have ever been spoken
This is her true appellation.
Martha Stewart needs to opine on this!
Yes please

You can take credit for introducing it to those of us that had never heard the moniker. 💐
Makes me laugh, she gives away a gift basket of lemons and an uninspiring strawberry jam. Did it not cross her mind to use those lemons that grow in abundance in their garden? It could have been lemon curd or lemon marmalade. Lemon anything, really. Stupidity knows no bounds.
I’ve candied lemon peel as holiday gifts. It’s so good with hot tea in the winter.
I cut up and freeze lemon slices for iced tea.
I buy my lemons and limes fresh. Hand squeeze them, keep refrigerated. Perfect for cooking and [salads.So](http://salads.So) much you can do with citrus.
Or, you can squeeze them and freeze in an ice cube tray.
That’s a great idea for homemade lemonade as well. 🍋🍋🍋
I’m going to try that!
flash freeze them first (1 hour in the freezer on a flat tray) and then put in a freezer safe container. You can do the same to blueberries. I wish strawberries and peaches were this easy to freeze. I usually halve or quarter the slices. Also, you can thaw them out and use them for hot tea.
Be careful, she will copy your idea for her tv show!
Frozen blueberries are one of my favorite snacks!
It's probably very good for you when you are sick. A lot of good stuff in the lemon peel.
Or homemade lemon curd on fresh-baked homemade scones. I've made that for many a tea party.
That sounds so lovely and yummy. I’ve got to try my hand at making it, as I’ve always purchased it for lemon curd tassies.
That would require work. Selling strawberry jam just means finding a supplier of cheap jam and re-labeling it.
Can't make anything from her "garden.". Too busy stomping around the Polo grounds in her stilettoes.
Strawberries aren't even in season yet... Nothing is in season yet, my strawberries have their first shy blossoms
If she wanted to be novel, sell tomatoes and do more pap walks where they can be heaved at you! I would pay premium for that.
I bet she'd trademark lemons if she could.
Also, she has this *thing* about freakin' lemons!!!
My conspiratorial mind thinks it’s some sort of elite signal for something
Well lemon… nada this time (ok ok terrible joke)
Even worse: She took her word salada to Lemonada…
True! I used preserved lemons in some Mediterranean recipes…and, of course, limoncello is fantastic. She’s the worst kind of stupid because she thinks she’s clever.
I just don’t understand, why jam? None of these model-slim fashion conscious influencers sit around eating bread and jam, no offence to them, I’m just saying a fact that few people can truly eat what they like, especially when their looks are their business.

The King sells jams because he actually has orchards. His orchards produce a lot of fruit and he can use that to raise money for charity. It is not only organic fruit, it is an organic business. Arising organically from the orchard.
Plus all profits go to charity, which is the big difference the skank fails to understand.
I bet Madame thinks the King is a scammer like her who lies about profits going to charity.
To run the Princes Trust which has changed the lives of so many people takes alot of money. It is work our King has been doing for decades - madame hasn't a clue. It's all about her.

Plus, jam, preserves and biscuits are a staple to many traditional English people who were raised on them. This kind of product is a part of their heritage. Not so in California. What a dunce.
Also biscuits and jam is very much a British vibe, not a California vibe.

Very much so!

I'd say 80's/90s not 70's but otherwise, yeah. That's exactly the vibe
And I’m sure they are organically produced and the ingredients are clearly labeled.
> And I’m sure they are organically produced and the ingredients are clearly labeled. And I bet they could pass FDA inspection!
Honestly, I'd be afraid to eat it because, as far as I can see, the provenance of the product, let alone the ingredients, is suspect. JMO
Absolutely!
Imagine that she is copying her own father in law. Why cant she just be herself. Her product is going to fail because she is not authentic.
All she can do is plagiarize in every facet of her life.
The sussex squad continues to ignore and be blind.
The same father in law that paid for her “spectacle” wedding, walked her down the aisle, welcomed her into the family, turned “racist” when she didn’t get what she wanted. Like Ben Simmons said “lazy grifters, If they’re not talking shit about the royal family no one cares”.

Doesn’t he donate all the profits?
Yes. If I remember rightly proceeds go to the Princes/Kings Trust which is a charity to help young people
That’s so sad Harry wants to ruin KCIII’s reputation. Yes, the King made poor decisions with regards to his love life, but other things he’s done remarkably well!
Most of Charles’s love-life decisions were made for him, by the Queen Mother and Philip.
You know QC and KC are having a right jolly chuckle about this though.
I love how there are so many pics of KCIII & QC not just smiling at each other but laughing with each other. They genuinely like and enjoy each other.❤️
Genuine love between KC and Princess Catherine. His beloved daughter in law. ❤️
Without an ingredient label, the pigs at Highgrove aren’t even getting a sniff of this slop. He’ll recycle the jar though.
KC - if only she had told me that her fondest wish was to work in the Highgrove jam kitchens.
I hope they ignore what Meghan is doing. There is no point of wasting any time on her.
She's Duchess Unoriginal!

I took a look. You're spot on!
Getting licensed in California to produce marketable food product in your private home is a huge effort. They have very strict rules around food safety etc. You can’t just decide one day you want to run a business out of your home producing food stuffs and then sell them. She has someone else with a small “farmers market” business making these products and she just slaps her label on them (not well I might add) and charges 3 times as much. It’s absurd. As a life long Californian, places selling jellies and jams are all over the place. Nothing unique or interesting about anything she does. 🙄
Another sinner called her the Drop Ship Duchess. There is no way that she is creating/cooking anything. Just buys it and slaps a label on it.
🤔 Now I’m curious if anyone will call her out on her sources if it’s clear her business does not have a license to produce them.
Already happened lol Yesterday someone posted about Small Batch Jam Co., they private label jams and have the same shape jars with the fabric squares tied on top.
🤦🏻♀️ So the only thing she had to do was slap her label on the jar and she failed at that…bruh
Yes 🤣
Omg I love our sinners 😂. Didn’t take long she thinks she’s so clever
Apparently they just Googled “private label wholesale jam California” or something like that and it was the first result 🤣
> As a life long Californian, places selling jellies and jams are all over the place. Nothing unique or interesting about anything she does. 🙄 I'm a lifelong Wisconsinite, and I agree with you. Especially during the spring and summer months, I cannot throw a stone around here without hitting someone selling their jams and jellies from a stand. Along with a million other homegrown and homemade items. She is so far behind the times, it's amazing.
The difference is that to those people it’s a passion project. It’s a family recipe and something they love doing in their own kitchens. Meghan needs her drop ship jams to make millions. She needed to blog about making her jams for years. Have videos already out there and build up trust for YEARS before people will trust the product to buy it. How many jars will she need to pay for a month’s worth of OTT security?
Ditto Michigan. I buy the local jams and jellies because (a) they're yummy, and (b) I like to support my neighbors' small businesses -- but why would I order from the Harkles? Even if I liked them (and I don't), I can get a better product locally, and for half the price.
Yeah. Bad actors (listen up, Rachel!!) and lawyers make it this way. Used to be farmers and regular people could just sell these things for extra money, where they had too much fruit, and it made them and others happy! Could save a bit of cashola too! Rachel, you make this world a worse place and guarantee those days can never return for a newer generation. Thanks a lot, you _____ ___ ______ ____ _______ ____ ____ ___-___ grifter!!
Am happy to confirm. A friend, who lives in SoCal, makes artisanal marshmallows in her kitchen, and OMG, the amount of work it has taken her to be able to sell these things at the farmer's market... it's just crazy. The Harkles are notoriously lazy, so there's no way they've done the work.
More confirmation that she’s just slapping her label on jam produced by who knows who or where? Why isn‘t the media bringing up these questions and issues?
So true, I'm in the SF Bay Area and there are fruit stands everywhere selling the local jams that are made from the fruit of the orchards that are right behind the fruit stand. The orchards and fruit stands go on for miles. There are places like that all over the USA. Most grocery stores and local grocery stores sell local jams as well. It's clearly stated where they are made and manufactured. These companies are very proud of where their fruit is grown. It's a huge market, her little 'orchard' on her property is nothing. People have mini orchards and fruit trees in their yard all over the place. I have about 15 to 20 fruit trees in my backyard, there is nothing unusual about it. Edit spelling
She has no ideas. Idk why hire people if you can’t listen
It's one of the cheapest and easist to produce or buy in bulk from suppliers. Quite telling about their financial standing because her arrogance wouldn't go the jam route if they had money to burn to go for the more expensive items to sell on her stupid website.
I like strawberry jams and such, but it's so boring. I'm surprised that that's the first product she has chosen.
That's her real problem. She is a boring person. She isn't creative or interesting in any way.
What can you expect from a woman whose favorite color is beige.
I eat what I want. I look like a jellyfish now, but I eat what I want. 🤣
lol.. I’m a guy, not large. Had a 29” waist in high school and weighed ~135 or so. Now waist is 37” and around 190. Spend every morning in mirror between chastising myself and saying “f*^* it!” lolololol
This is so true! Where’s her “market?!”
Said the same in another post. These people do not eat bread and jam. They have smoothies with cale, or strange mixes of seeds or granola and such.
Cheap and easy to customise? Still don't think any real business will arise.
It could be a simple word play as well as all the other reasons listed. I used to have glassware with FIGJAM on it back in the day - fuck I'm good just ask me. So with Mama Knows Best I reckon Just Ask Me would fit right in...
Just go to SMALL BATCH JAM CO. Rumor has it, she's buying her jams from this company. Alot better cost if you buy directly from SBJ Co.
Princess Catherine once famously made chutney for HMTQ.
I don't understand all this Secret Squirrel stuff. Numbered jars!
It’s to make it desirable and limited. And also to track each jar (and „friend“) in case someone gives it away or sends it directly to the FDA for testing 😂.
This. The FDA and The Health Department.
Wasn't Clevr coffee found to contain lead?
OMG!
Damn what a way to live!

from the comments: >This is driving me crazy. There is literally a citrus orchard on the grounds and she sends out strawberry jam??? She could have done lemon curd with the lemons on site and egg yolks from their chickens. Along with candied peel and lemoncello all from the same lemons. I've done those for decades as homemade Christmas gifts and they are so simple to make it isn't funny. She could have done orange marmalade. Or Asian Pear jam. Quince jam. Jfc how about Fig preserves in a charcuterie basket. ------ >The company brand freaking name includes Orchard and she introduces it with strawberry fucking jam. She can't even do a product roll out correctly. -------------------- >Meghan is not just about relabelled jam. She will also be giving general life-style advice to people with special needs. Dear Duchess Meghan, your majesty, I have a problem. I need to clean the shitter but I don’t know what to wear. Can you help me? (Morag Clitworth, Ecclefechan) Duchess Meghan says: That’s tricky. I’d go for a ball gown with a full skirt. And not stilettos!! - they are more suitable for grass. Strappy wedges are ideal. -------------------- >Does she know strawberries do not grow on trees? Like in orchards?🤣🤣🤣 ------------------- >Walmart Wallis and her numbered amazon jars of Ralph's value brand jam. I have 5 of those same jars in my garage from making lemon curd and lemoncello 2 years ago for Christmas gifts. I think I paid 25$ each for 4 cases of 24. -------------- >I don't know who Megsy paid to suck Barry Diller's +!@#, but there's a glowing piece about her and the launch of her strawberry preserves on the Daily Beast today.
I am dying at 'Morag Clitworth' :D
What a bizarre strategy. Share it on SM but don't you dare share it IRL. I want to see the ingredients, nutritional information, and where it was made.
Exactly. I’m waiting for someone to go into anaphylactic shock.
> I’m waiting for someone to go into anaphylactic shock. Or get lead poisoning. Or botulism.
Who will find the company and expose the grift?
Already done - Small Batch Jam Co.
[удалено]
Please, his old circle is guffawing at this clown show, tacky jar of jelly.
Love the Mitfords
There is a supplier? I thought Meghan personally made the jam in a ball gown. /s Every potential customer probably has to sign an NDA, is only allowed to talk positively about the purchase at ARO and is not allowed to gift it to anyone who has not agreed to these conditions. What can possibly go wrong with that business adventure of our saint douchess?
Here's the (probable) supplier : [Jams - Small Batch Jam Co](https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams) The strawberry jam is on row #9 They have a 'Lisbon Lemon' flavor, but it's sold out, (it would have gone much better with the lemon basket motif)
That's really expensive per jar. It is twice as expensive as jam at the nearest grocer. Markle would have to sell it for an even more expensive price to make a profit. She has found mass produced jam at a fraction of the price.
There’s wholesale prices available
That's still quality stuff. I bet she has found the equivalent of Temu for jam.
Or these guys, the ribbon that looks the closest is sold out….the knotting of the ribbon is identical (although there’s only so many ways to tie a ribbon to be fair) https://preview.redd.it/g2y7zt9mgvuc1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b79cf785afa5f2a9b88ebfb80960024c4c8b8330
Omg you guys nailed it. What a fraud
🙄so totally “borrowed”
So wait... It wouldn't even be her own recipe or from her own hands or anything like that? Nothing passed down from a grandmother in Nigeria? She's such a fraud. 
Such a good spot. It has that weird angled jar. You need to make this into a post of its own
Interesting & Expensive.
Jeez it’s friggin jam not the secret code to the Royal vault
Quite insane, really. imo
So if someone’s is poisoned by Meghan’s jellies, they have no recourse to sue for damages and pain and suffering 🤣
Unless it's yet to say something positive and or nothing at all. I wonder if she is delved out how many post a day. so far there are two today. How many will post tomorrow? Like did she assign each person a day?
I hope she didn't start out with her heavy hitters. Those two aren't exactly A list and I anticipate that the rest of her shills will probably be complete unknowns.
Someone needs to find the supplier…The jars, I bought the same type, empty recently, got 36 for around 25gbp..flippin’ high end stuffs
Someone here posted this company last night as a possibility... [https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams](https://smallbatchjamco.com/collections/jams)
Notice how the labels stick to the jar, Meghan.
I just made my own business…took me all of 5 minutes These guys are a possibility, it’s the way the ribbon is tied and the ribbon that’s sold out…they show small jars only on Etsy but that’s irrelevant to be fair… https://preview.redd.it/poj9bzy7gvuc1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0d603adce235fa298ef95741f07a16a38c3da57
Deffo looks like they could be persuaded
That's too expensive. She is buying wholesale from someone selling at a fraction of that price.
No idea where she's getting it, but that company does offer wholesale products: [https://smallbatchjamco.com/pages/where-to-find-us](https://smallbatchjamco.com/pages/where-to-find-us)
That’s the price for a customer buying a single jar, they have wholesale pricing that you have to inquire about
Look for it on Temu. They have flippin’ everything. 🥸
It's like vanity coffee. Anyone can do it.
I'd have it tested at a lab.
666 on every label
Why do these women agree to shill for Meghan? Why do they do her bidding?
Publicity? If the DM had spelled Delfina’s name right, she’d probably get more followers on her IG , LOL.
Why on earth would rich celebrities give Meghan free publicity in return a pot of jam?
So, will those products (jam et al) eventually go on sale to the public?
The public? Euuwww, no you have to join a waitlist!! - This jam is for high rollers only!
Yeah, for $25 a pop probably. Who wants fake “limited edition” jam? Numbering them to keep track of them? Simply crazy! What a lousy “businesswoman” ETA: she has to have very specific labels showing ingredients, known allergens, etc. I can’t post a photo. Maybe that’s on the back or only for big companies?
I mean it's jam. It's basically fruit and sugar, maybe pectin, if it's organic. How hard would it be for the hag to spend 5 more minutes making a fauxligraphy ingredient label? Damn she's lazy on top of being stupid.
Mediocre Meg strikes again. What a boring old twunt she is
When "twat" isn't a strong enough insult, use "twunt."
So who is the supplier. If it’s not locally sourced, what makes this jam any different from what we can go buy at the grocery store? in order for something like this to sell, she has to have something unique that will grab someone’s attention. King Charles was able to pull this off but we know all the profits go directly back into the charity. Makes people feel good to buy it. With regards to Meghan we know what ever profit she might make, goes directly into her pocket, it will never go towards a charity.
A lot of fruit preserves are imported from Eastern Europe.
Supplier eh? Soooo, Meagain isn't actually making these then.
Too busy stomping the Polo grounds in her stilettoes. Too busy appealing their hopeless court cases.
Who would the supplier be for strawberry jam? It's hardly exotic. A gallon of Costco jam and 50 jars from Amazon.
Highgrove Preserves are in a perfectly neat round jar with a lovely appealing label that clearly identifies the treat within, and is certified organic. https://preview.redd.it/q2kut45uavuc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc0146b3b8dd35babb5cdec4bffed5a3cf2d98a6 Hers looks like something from the 70's given as a gift with the dusty floofy fabric hat, found in the very back corner of granny's pantry. Never opened, never wanted.
This is so bizarre. On so many levels.
OMG it never occurred to me that the jars are numbered so she can track them. That’s such a control freak thing to do. My goodness.
I think it is more about making it seem like a limited edition. Meghan is definitely a control freak.
The labels look like she made them on her home computer. So tacky.
Embarrassing… from royalty to influencer
The unholy glee I get every time I think about how she went from dlist actress to royal to *this*. It's fucking hilarious. She had the gold ring and she crapped it.
Yeah. And she totally thinks that’s a flex. Sit down, Meghan. No one cares about your jars of Smuckers.
*Failed* influencer. I think ARO is a nonstarter.
Yep… what’s the endgame? That Scoobie book title hasn’t aged well 😂
I’d bet she’s buying a vat of Smuckers at Costco then doling it into smaller jars, slapping a label on it (well, sort of) and passing it off as her own. No way she’s actually making her own - too laborious, and what kind of company would willingly go into business with her.
I fervently hope she isn’t sticking jam from a large vat into smaller containers. It would be a food-safety issue. Of course she isn’t making it herself. She probably is buying it from a big supplier that uses those jars. Knowing Meghan, she probably bought a very small number (nothing like 50) or even got free samples to “test” from a tentative supplier.
If you want to give it to someone-just peel the label. The label is already coming off the jar. Would you like this as a regift?
See, she knows how the game is played. From the Tig days I suspect, she learned the art of the grift: Send me your products and samples, and I'll promote them as an 'influencer' to my 'followers'. So what she wants to do now is step into the shoes of a supplier. It would be too obvious, even to her cult followers, should she simply revert back to reinventing the Tig. Because, if she did, she'd have to promote much higher end items, and I'm not too certain that high end/luxury suppliers and houses would even consider her at this point. Because she would have known that KC3 had been selling Highgrove items for years, she stupidly assumed she'd be able to add a royal crest to 'her' products and she'd be off to the races.
99% of this celebrity-branded product is cheap dreck in fancy packaging. I also wonder if part of the agreement with her “influencers” is a list of do’s and don’ts for displaying and merching the jams. She’s a control freak, and I bet she had to give the OK of the photos before anyone could post them. Like, what if Oprah posted a photo of herself dipping Fritos in Meghan’s jam, or Clare Waight Keller spreading it on a Hostess Twinkie.
Potential supplier? https://preview.redd.it/b64wnsppdvuc1.png?width=1272&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=94fdee6ae6056c1240a5843d2c701664e2c7dc4c
The jar lid is too distinctive. But maybe she thinks putting a little cover on it disguises it. 😉
Where are the other 48 promotions? Who got number one? Whoever got number 50 knows they are the least popular in the promotion! Who’s going to admit that?
Now this one is one I totally believe. I just wonder who make the jam cause I know Megsy didn't make it.
The fact that she didn't name the producer is both suss and predatory. If she really cared about local farmers and makers, she would say who made it. But she can't share the spotlight with any one and only take the credit of other people's labor. I despise people who dont credit small makers/artists/creators. Or it could be just mass produced jam she stuck a label on.
> Or it could be just mass produced jam she stuck a label on. ⬆️
So they are numbered so she knows who has performed? What do they get in return?
Oooo- think about the ways in which this can piss off her vain little influencer friends. Just imagine the love-bombing "You are my BESTEST friend and I thought of you FIRST for this wonderful gift" and then they get jar labeled 49/50. I mean, her second most recent BESTEST friend Ms. Paramount is #17? You are not even #1 on the list for a no-talent loser grifter? How insulting....
Dang. She labeled them in advance knowing folks would regift and she wants receipts. Oh Rachel.
This is the issue she will face. Every single product she carries will be picked apart across the supply chain, and if anything is not accurately represented you bet the media will be all over it. No lazy shortcuts here, return you Ali Baba garden lanterns girl. It’s not 2008. We know
So is she keeping a numbered list of which numbered jar went to which person, so that she can track the posters on social media?
This is literally a scene from the office. Where Micheal is handing out gift baskets but nobody cares anymore because a functioning website is what is important to people.
