King Charles reportedly has no intention to compete with the launch of Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard jams through The King’s Highgrove Organic Preserves.
Starr is a News Writer for InStyle. She has worked in pop culture and entertainment since 2017 and has been with InStyle since 2024.It's the battle of the jams, except King Charles isn't particularly keen on competing. Following the social media launch of Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard jams—which she sent to her closest friends in flavors of strawberry and raspberry—on its site, which some royal observers did not believe was a mere coincidence.
“Meghan is very upset about her jam jars. King Charles brought out jam from his place and she supposedly felt he was taking it away from her. I don’t think he would dream to do that, to take it away from her,” royal commentator Angela Levin said during an appearance onMarkle allegedly wanted to get on the phone with Charles to see if they could talk about the product launches, a rumor that Levin also debunked.
Markle's American Riviera Orchard jams are currently unavailable to purchase, as is any other products in her brand launch. Meanwhile, The King’s Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve is being sold for $8.60 “and was reportedly sold out within minutes of Meghan’s first announcement of her strawberry jam,”
The most recent update in Markle's jam saga came in June, as she sent close friend Nacho Figueras a jar of raspberry jam that he posted to Instagram during Trooping the Colour—a move that“Meghan’s team reportedly didn’t set out to sabotage Kate,” the outlet reported, noting that the backlash Markle is receiving at the moment “is not justified, Meghan’s camp believe.
“Meghan did not order up the post from Figueras, and in fact had no input over when or if he would post,”, continued. “Of course, ceding exact control over context and timings is an inherent risk in a user-led social media campaign, especially when your cheerleaders are powerful celebrities in their own right who might not react well to having their posts micromanaged.
