William 相続するd the Duchy landed 広い地所 after the death of Elizabeth II and the 即位 of his father the King, and is now する権利を与えるd to its 黒字／過剰 利益（をあげる）s every year.

The Duchy is valued at more than £1billion and is one of the largest and oldest landed 広い地所s in Britain.

Its income covers the cost of William's public and 私的な lives - and receives most of this from the Waitrose Duchy 有機の brand, 始める，決める up by Charles.

It was created in 1337 by Edward III to support his son and 相続人 Prince Edward, known as the 黒人／ボイコット Prince, and all his その後の 相続人s.

It 延長するs across 23 郡s in England and むちの跡s and 含むs the Oval cricket ground and 67,000 acres of Dartmoor.

Last June it was 明らかにする／漏らすd that William had received a 私的な income from the Duchy of nearly £6million.

The Duchy 生成するd 記録，記録的な／記録する 利益（をあげる）s of £24.048million in 2022-23 ? up £1.02 million from £23.024million the year before, a jump of about 4.5 per cent, the 広い地所's accounts showed.

The Duchy kept £6.873million, leaving William with an income of £5.9million.

William, in the Duchy's 財政上の accounts for 2022/23, paid 尊敬の印 to his father for leaving an 'indelible 示す' on the Duchy and 存在 熱烈な about 運動ing 今後 change. He 述べるd wanting to make a difference in his new 役割 himself.

ANALYSIS: Meghan will want to 最高潮の場面 the brand rather than her

The 創造 of 個々に numbered jars of jam sent to a selected group of 影響力のある people is 正確に／まさに what I thought that Meghan would do.

The whole 前提 of her new brand American Riviera Orchard is to 最高潮の場面 the 質 and origin of the 地元で sourced 成分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 作品 really 井戸／弁護士席.

She is filming a new cookery lifestyle show for Netflix which will show her making things that she loves and wants to 株 with テレビ視聴者s and fans.

It's not known how much the jam will cost and if it will even go into 集まり 生産／産物 but as a way of creating 利益／興味 it's also 最高潮の場面ing the brand rather than Meghan, which will be her 戦略.

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 指名する to keep it feeling like it's a personal 現在の.

The idea that she's only sent it to 50 people shows that the 在庫／株 is 限られた／立憲的な and creates a 需要・要求する too and 利益／興味. As a 開始する，打ち上げる its low 重要な but in keeping with their new softer, homely approach to their celebrity status and lifestyle.

Sending her 製品 to 影響力のある people is a 広大な／多数の／重要な way of getting the brand 指名する out there. It 許すs Meghan to create a buzz on social マスコミ 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 （製品，工事材料の）一回分 to. 個々に numbering shows that the send out was 限られた／立憲的な 版 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, 地元の 隣人s, 影響力のある people in the lifestyle and cooking circles and people she feels will genuinely 高く評価する／（相場などが）上がる the gesture.

This is a unique way of 開始する，打ち上げるing, but it does feel 類似の to the look and feel of Flamingo 広い地所 which has been one of the most successful brands to 共同製作する 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 影響（力） to 地位，任命する on their social マスコミ, there is a call to 活動／戦闘 to 購入（する）.

With ARO there is no 機能（する）／行事ing website just a 持つ／拘留するing page and an email 登録 which means that people who want to know more have no other （警察などへの）密告，告訴（状） and I think that this could be 失望させるing to 可能性のある purchasers and fans who want to know more.

Meghan is a very authentic person and the whole 前提 of ARO is authenticity and 地元の.

So I think that the small （製品，工事材料の）一回分 of strawberry jam will have most likely have been sourced in Montecito and produced by 手渡す by Meghan herself to make them feel special and thought of.
