Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand has raised eyebrows due to its lack of commercial success. The Duchess of Sussex launched a strawberry jam under the brand American Riviera Orchard, but it is unclear whether any revenue has been earned from its sale.
According to royal expert Michael Cole, only 50 jars have been distributed to Meghan’s close friends and influencers. He added that there is no record of a single jar being sold yet, and the price of the product is also unknown.
Cole notes that some of Meghan’s friends believe this venture is unlikely to yield significant financial returns. However, the Duchess is reportedly motivated by the need to monetize her royal status. She has established a lifestyle blog and channel, which has been met with interest due to its unusual focus on ‘jam,’ a term that is typically referred to as ‘jelly’ in the United States.
