Was Meghan ʳµ¯¤µ¤»¤ëd by father-in-ˡΧ King Charles? How ·¯¼ç began selling his own ÈÏ°Ï of Êݸ¤¹¤ës with his Duchy ½é¤á¤Îs Í­µ¡¤Î food brand - as duchess ÌÀ¤«¤¹s strawberry jam À½ÉÊ under American Riviera Orchard

Meghan Markle followed in the footsteps of her father-in-ˡΧ King Charles III today by ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëing strawberry jam as part of her nascent ¾¦Çä¡¿»Å»ö empire.

The Duchess of Sussex?has ÌÀ¤«¤¹d the first À½ÉÊ from her new brand American Riviera Orchard, with her friends ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëing Instagram photos of a jar of her jam.

»Ù±ç¤¹¤ë in the 1990s, Charles began selling À½ÉÊs from the Duchy of Cornwall ¹­¤¤ÃϽê - with jam Äɲ乤ëd to the ÈÏ°Ï in 2010 when Waitrose took on the ÇÓ½üŪ licence.

Prince William took on the Duchy ¹­¤¤ÃϽê after Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022, and Duchy Í­µ¡¤Î strawberry jam is now sold at Waitrose Ãߤ¨¤ë¡¿Å¹s for ¡ò2.80 a jar.

The Duchy jam, ½Ò¤Ù¤ëd by the chain as '´Å¤¤ and juicy', uses strawberries grown 'without °Í¸ on ¿Í¹©Åª¤Ê ²½³ØÀ½ÉÊs and fertilisers' and 'each ¡ÊÀ½ÉÊ¡¤¹©»öºàÎÁ¤Î¡Ë°ì²óʬ of Í­µ¡¤Î strawberry Êݸ¤¹¤ë is ¼êÅϤ¹-stirred in open pans for a rich texture and flavour'.

Waitrose Äɲ乤ës that the jam - with an ÉáÄ̤Ρ¿Ê¿¶Ñ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë Ψing of 4.5 À±¡¿¼çÌò¤Ë¤¹¤ës from 127 reviews - is 'ideal for baking ´Å¤¤ °·¤¦¡¿¼£ÎŤ¹¤ës and desserts, ƱÍÍ¤Ë as spread generously on toast'.

A Éôʬ of sales is ´óÉÕ¤¹¤ëd to the Prince of ¤à¤Á¤ÎÀ×s's Charitable ´ð¶â ? and the Waitrose Duchy Í­µ¡¤Î has À¸À®¤¹¤ëd more than ¡ò40million for this since 2009.

William Á곤¹¤ëd the Duchy landed ¹­¤¤ÃϽê after the death of Elizabeth II and the ¨°Ì of his father the King, and is now ¤¹¤ë¸¢Íø¤òÍ¿¤¨¤ëd to its ¹õ»ú¡¿²á¾ê Íø±×¡Ê¤ò¤¢¤²¤ë¡Ës every year.

The Duchy is valued at more than ¡ò1billion and is one of the largest and oldest landed ¹­¤¤ÃϽês in Britain.

Its income covers the cost of William's public and »äŪ¤Ê lives - and receives most of this from the Waitrose Duchy Í­µ¡¤Î brand, »Ï¤á¤ë¡¤·è¤á¤ë up by Charles.

It was created in 1337 by Edward III to support his son and Áê³¿Í Prince Edward, known as the ¹õ¿Í¡¿¥Ü¥¤¥³¥Ã¥È Prince, and all his ¤½¤Î¸å¤Î Á곿Ís.

It ±äŤ¹¤ës across 23 ·´s in England and ¤à¤Á¤ÎÀ×s and ´Þ¤às the Oval cricket ground and 67,000 acres of Dartmoor.

Last June it was ÌÀ¤é¤«¤Ë¤¹¤ë¡¿Ï³¤é¤¹d that William had received a »äŪ¤Ê income from the Duchy of nearly ¡ò6million.

The Duchy À¸À®¤¹¤ëd µ­Ï¿¡¤µ­Ï¿Åª¤Ê¡¿µ­Ï¿¤¹¤ë Íø±×¡Ê¤ò¤¢¤²¤ë¡Ës of ¡ò24.048million in 2022-23 ? up ¡ò1.02 million from ¡ò23.024million the year before, a jump of about 4.5 per cent, the ¹­¤¤ÃϽê's accounts showed.

Usually William would be ¤¹¤ë¸¢Íø¤òÍ¿¤¨¤ëd to the ½½Ê¬¤Ê ¡ò24million as his »äŪ¤Ê income, but his ºâÀ¯¡¿¶âÍ»s became Ê£»¨¤Ë¤¹¤ëd after he became Áê³¿Í to the ²¦°Ì half way through the 2022/23 ºâÀ¯¾å¤Î year.

The King, as the former Prince of ¤à¤Á¤ÎÀ×s, was ¤¹¤ë¸¢Íø¤òÍ¿¤¨¤ëd to ¡ò11.275million of the ¹õ»ú¡¿²á¾ê before his ¨°Ì, while William, who spent about six months of the last ºâÀ¯¾å¤Î year as the Duke of Cornwall and Prince of ¤à¤Á¤ÎÀ×s, to ¡ò12.773million.

Kensington Palace said at the time that as a 'one-off associated with the change in Dukes of Cornwall', the Duchy team asked to ÊÝ»ý¤¹¤ë a ³ä¹ç of the ¹õ»ú¡¿²á¾ê for 'working »ñËÜ¡¿¼óÅÔ ÌÜŪs' ? the day-to-day running of the ¹­¤¤ÃϽê ? this year.

The Duchy kept ¡ò6.873million, leaving William with an income of ¡ò5.9million.

William, in the Duchy's ºâÀ¯¾å¤Î accounts for 2022/23, paid º·É¤Î°õ to his father for leaving an 'indelible ¼¨¤¹' on the Duchy and ¸ºß Ç®Îõ¤Ê about ±¿Æ°ing º£¸å change. He ½Ò¤Ù¤ëd wanting to make a difference in his new Ìò³ä himself.

William became the 25th Duke of Cornwall ¤Ë°ú¤­Â³¤¤¤Æ his father's ¨°Ì.

As Áê³¿Í to the ²¦°Ì, the prince is ¤¹¤ë¸¢Íø¤òÍ¿¤¨¤ëd to the ǯ¼¡¤Î ¹õ»ú¡¿²á¾ê À¸À®¤¹¤ëd by the Duchy's ¹­Âç¤Ê Âç¿Ã¤ÎÃÏ°Ì of land, buildings and ºâÀ¯¾å¤Î Åê»ñs.

He has also taken ¹ðȯ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¤¹ðÁʡʤ¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿ÎÁ¶â of ´ÆÆĤ¹¤ëing the ´ÉÍý¡¿·Ð±Ä of the ¹­¤¤ÃϽê, with the ²ñ¹ç understood to be a Ä´°õ¤¹¤ë of the ¿¿ÌÌÌܤµ with which takes his new Ìò³ä.

'I am very Ç®Îõ¤Ê about my farming and I just want to learn more about it,' William said in an ITV ʸ½ñ¤Î with Charles in 2019.

Charles ǧ¤á¤ë he was '¿¼¤¯¡¤¶¯Îõ¤Ë touched' that William had taken an Íø±×¡¿¶½Ì£ in the Duchy.

He Äɲ乤ëd: 'It »ö¼Â¾å ¸º¤º¤ëd me to ÎÞ¡¿¤Û¤³¤í¤Ós. Because I suddenly thought, '°æ¸Í¡¿ÊÛ¸î»ÎÀÊ, just ¿³Íý¡¤¸øÄ°²ñ that from him, has made the last 50 years worthwhile'.'

ANALYSIS: Meghan will want to ºÇ¹âĬ¤Î¾ìÌÌ the brand rather than her

The ÁϤ of ¸Ä¡¹¤Ë numbered jars of jam sent to a selected group of ±Æ¶ÁÎϤΤ¢¤ë people is Àµ³Î¤Ë¡¿¤Þ¤µ¤Ë what I thought that Meghan would do.

The whole Á°Äó of her new brand American Riviera Orchard is to ºÇ¹âĬ¤Î¾ìÌÌ the ¼Á and origin of the Ãϸµ¤Ç sourced À®Ê¬s and how they have been lovingly made into jam.

As a way of getting the brand out there and in keeping with the home-made, straight from the home aesthetic that she has gone for it ºîÉÊ really °æ¸Í¡¿ÊÛ¸î»ÎÀÊ.

She is filming a new cookery lifestyle sh ow for Netflix which will show her making things that she loves and wants to ³ô with ¥Æ¥ì¥Ó»ëÄ°¼Ôs and fans.

It's not known how much the jam will cost and if it will even go into ½¸¤Þ¤ê À¸»º¡¿»ºÊª but as a way of creating Íø±×¡¿¶½Ì£ it's also ºÇ¹âĬ¤Î¾ìÌÌing the brand rather than Meghan, which will be her Àïά.

She wants people to buy into the ARO lifestyle not just her own personal brand. The look and feel of it is very home made with a stylish crest and almost handwritten brand »Ø̾¤¹¤ë to keep it feeling like it's a personal ¸½ºß¤Î.

The idea that she's only sent it to 50 people shows that the ºß¸Ë¡¿³ô is ¸Â¤é¤ì¤¿¡¿Î©·ûŪ¤Ê and creates a ¼ûÍס¦Í׵᤹¤ë too and Íø±×¡¿¶½Ì£. As a ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë its low ½ÅÍ×¤Ê but in keeping with their new softer, homely approach to their celebrity status and lifestyle.

Sending her À½ÉÊ to ±Æ¶ÁÎϤΤ¢¤ë people is a ¹­Âç¤Ê¡¿Â¿¿ô¤Î¡¿½ÅÍ×¤Ê way of getting the brand »Ø̾¤¹¤ë out there. It µö¤¹s Meghan to create a buzz on social ¥Þ¥¹¥³¥ß and also for fans to see a glimpse into the lifestyles of the people she has sent the jam too.

It also creates intrigue as to who has been lucky enough to receive the jam. I am sure Meghan will have thought long and hard as to who to send her first ¡ÊÀ½ÉÊ¡¤¹©»öºàÎÁ¤Î¡Ë°ì²óʬ to. ¸Ä¡¹¤Ë numbering shows that the send out was ¸Â¤é¤ì¤¿¡¿Î©·ûŪ¤Ê ÈÇ but it does also make those who didn't get the jam feel left out perhaps too.

I think she will have sent to some of her friends, Ãϸµ¤Î ÎÙ¿Ís, ±Æ¶ÁÎϤΤ¢¤ë people in the lifestyle and cooking circles and people she feels will genuinely ¹â¤¯É¾²Á¤¹¤ë¡¿¡ÊÁê¾ì¤Ê¤É¤¬¡Ë¾å¤¬¤ë the gesture.

This is a unique way of ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëing, but it does feel Îà»÷¤Î to the look and feel of Flamingo ¹­¤¤ÃϽê which has been one of the most successful brands to ¶¦Æ±À½ºî¤¹¤ë with talent like Jane Goodall and Julianne Moore.

There is one big difference in that all the celebrity owned brands, when they send out to people of ±Æ¶Á¡ÊÎÏ¡Ë to ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ë on their social ¥Þ¥¹¥³¥ß, there is a call to ³èÆ°¡¿ÀïÆ® to ¹ØÆþ¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.

With ARO there is no µ¡Ç½¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿¹Ô»öing website just a »ý¤Ä¡¿¹´Î±¤¹¤ëing page and an email ÅÐÏ¿ which means that people who want to know more have no other ¡Ê·Ù»¡¤Ê¤É¤Ø¤Î¡ËÌ©¹ð¡¤¹ðÁʡʾõ¡Ë and I think that this could be ¼ºË¾¤µ¤»¤ëing to ²ÄǽÀ­¤Î¤¢¤ë purchasers and fans who want to know more.

Meghan is a very authentic person and the whole Á°Äó of ARO is authenticity and Ãϸµ¤Î.

So I think that the small ¡ÊÀ½ÉÊ¡¤¹©»öºàÎÁ¤Î¡Ë°ì²óʬ of strawberry jam will have most likely have been sourced in Montecito and produced by ¼êÅϤ¹ by Meghan herself to make them feel special and thought of.

'He goes and visits different parts of the Duchy of Cornwall, and so he is learning, I hope, as time goes by.'

Waitrose Duchy Í­µ¡¤Î was ÀßΩ¤¹¤ëd by Charles with its first À½ÉÊ in 1992, a Çö¾Æ¤­¥Ñ¥ó¡¿ÁǾÆÆ«´ï made from wheats and oats grown organically on Home Farm at Highgrove in Gloucestershire.

The Duchy Í­µ¡¤Îs ÈÏ°Ï is now the UK's largest own-label Í­µ¡¤Î food and drink brand and ´Þ¤às more than 300 À½ÉÊs ´Þ¤àing fruits, vegetables, meat and beer.

Today, Meghan ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëd the first À½ÉÊ from American Riviera Orchard, sending influencers and friends a jar of her jam.

Fashion designer Tracy Robbins and Argentine socialite Delfina Balquier were ¤ÎÃæ¤Ç those who ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëd an image of the À½ÉÊ on their Instagram Stories.

Mrs Robbins and her husband ºÇ¹â°Ì¤Î boss Brian Robbins are friends with the Sussexes and ¾·ÂÔ¤¹¤ëd them to the ¡ÊƬ¤¬¡Ë¤Ò¤ç¤¤¤ÈÆ°¤¯ Marley film ¼óÁê in Jamaica in January.

The couple are also friends with Ms Balquier, who is married to Prince Harry's friend Nacho Figueras - with the four together at a charity polo match in Florida?last Friday.

This is the ºÇ¿·¤Î ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë ¤Þ¤Ã¤¿¤ÀÃæ¤Ë a ·¹¸þ of celebrities ž´¹ing their own food À½ÉÊs - with Julianne Moore, Will Ferrell and LeBron James ¤ÎÃæ¤Ç those selling honey from their own gardens through the Flamingo ¹­¤¤ÃϽê brand for up to $250 (¡ò200) per jar.

Mrs Robbins ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëd a picture of Meghan's jam, which had the American Riviera Orchard logo and 'Montecito' underneath - the celebrity Èô¤ÓÎÎÅÚ in California?where Harry and Meghan live in a ¡ò12million home. The label also had the words '17 of 50'.

The photo on Mrs Robbins's Instagram Stories showed the jam in her ¼êÅϤ¹, and she said: '@AmericanRivieraOrchard Breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a little sweeter.'

Showing it in a basket with lemons, Mrs Robbins Äɲ乤ëd: 'Thank you for the delicious basket! I ÀäÂÐ love this jam so not sure I'm ³ôing with anyone. @American RivieraOrchard Thank you, M! #MontecitoGoodness #AmericanRivieraOrchard.'

Ms Balquier ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëd a Îà»÷¤Î picture on her Stories, Àâ: 'Strawberry jam makes me happy. And I love your jam, @AmericanRivieraOrchard.' Her label said: '10 of 50.'

Speaking about the ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë today, PR and branding ÀìÌç²È Nick Ede told MailOnline: 'The ÁϤ of ¸Ä¡¹¤Ë numbered jars of jam sent to a selected group of ±Æ¶ÁÎϤΤ¢¤ë people is Àµ³Î¤Ë¡¿¤Þ¤µ¤Ë what I thought that Meghan would do.

Mr Ede also spoke about who else might have been sent the jam, and why she was using friends and influencers to help with the ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë.

He said: 'Sending her À½ÉÊ to ±Æ¶ÁÎϤΤ¢¤ë people is a ¹­Âç¤Ê¡¿Â¿¿ô¤Î¡¿½ÅÍ×¤Ê way of getting the brand »Ø̾¤¹¤ë out there. It µö¤¹s Meghan to create a buzz on social ¥Þ¥¹¥³¥ß and also for fans to see a glimpse into the lifestyles of the people she has sent the jam too.

With the ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë already ¸ºß compared to other food À½ÉÊs from celebrities, Mr Ede said Meghan had come up with 'a unique way of ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëing, but it does feel Îà»÷¤Î to the look and feel of Flamingo ¹­¤¤ÃϽê which has been one of the most successful brands to ¶¦Æ±À½ºî¤¹¤ë with talent like Jane Goodall and Julianne Moore'.

Speaking about where Meghan will have sourced the À®Ê¬s from, Mr Ede Äɲ乤ëd that this was likely to have been Ãϸµ¤Ç.
