It seems that Meghan had sent her a bunch of lemons, and fans of the Sussex couple believed it was a show of support. The Daily Express reported that Jill Biden was in on the joke and understood the connection to Team Sussex.
The moment of apparent solidarity occurred when Jill Biden wore an Oscar de la Renta dress with a lemon pattern to a public event, the International Women of Courage Awards ceremony in Washington. Sussex fans were quick to notice that it resembled a dress Meghan had previously worn after leaving Royal life.
On Twitter, some fans saw Jill Biden's outfit as a subtle nod of support to Team Sussex, although she had worn the dress on other occasions before and after that event.
The Daily Mail reported that Meghan had actually sent the First Lady a basket of lemons as a thank-you present. A source close to Meghan revealed that Jill Biden was in on the joke. However, it raised questions among fans about whether Meghan had also sent similar gifts to other celebrities who embraced the lemon print dress trend.
As for the fate of the lemons after their arrival at the White House, there were no clear answers. The first lady's office did not respond to inquiries, but according to experts at Good Housekeeping, most gifts received by the first family can be kept, with some exceptions for safety reasons.
It's worth noting that Meghan has faced criticism and tensions with various political figures since her time as a senior Royal, especially after her New York City tour with Prince Harry. Some suggest that Meghan's perception of support from certain political figures might be misguided, as she has reportedly clashed with many of them due to her outspoken views.
The true nature of the "lemon basket joke" remains uncertain. Meghan's actions and words have often drawn strong reactions from different circles, leading to debates about her intentions and how she interprets gestures from others. Whether the lemons were a genuine show of support or simply a playful gesture, Meghan's controversial reputation continues to be a topic of discussion.
