The Duchess of Sussex has started a new business, and her main rival is someone it’s not good to have as a competitor… Her father-in-law, who is currently fighting cancer and is the king of Great Britain.
It’s no secret that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, does not have a favorable image in the United Kingdom, and now she has become the target of jesters who could easily disrupt her business plans. Prince Harry’s wife has recently launched a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard. While it’s not entirely clear what the brand will specialize in, we know what the first product is.
Meghan has sent 50 beautifully packaged jars of jam labeled with her brand’s name to well-known influencers across America, who then shared photos on social media, thanking the Duchess.
This move has made her a competitor to her father-in-law, King Charles III, who also sells jam—specifically, Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve. British media report that all stocks of the organic strawberry jam offered by the king sold out as soon as it was announced that his main rival was his daughter-in-law, Meghan.
It seems that fans of the British royal family prefer what the king is selling, as he pulled a trick that surely spoiled Meghan Markle’s day.
According to The Independent, a prankster created a website named similarly to Meghan’s, with a spelling mistake, which leads to King Charles’ jam page! Specifically, to Duchy Organic Strawberry Jam, where the first word hints at ‘duchess.’
So, if someone looking for Meghan Markle’s jam doesn’t type everything correctly, they might end up on Charles’ product page instead. The name refers to a duchy and could easily confuse someone not well-informed, potentially disrupting the business of Prince Harry’s wife.
Charles’ jam is a hit among fans of this sweet spread. One fan praised it on the official page, commenting that it “tastes like wonderful homemade jam, with occasional large pieces of strawberries, which seems like a bonus.” Additionally, it is “organic, better for the environment, and better for people.”
Meghan was aiming at tough competition!
