Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently stirred up a buzz with her debut product launch under her brand, American Riviera Orchard. According to a PR expert, Megan took a hands-on approach to crafting her strawberry jam, sourcing it from Montesito and making it by hand. Megan Bole, head of digital PR at Tal Agency, believes Megan's personal touch was deliberate, aiming to make recipients feel special and valued.
Bole emphasizes the exclusivity of Megan's handmade approach, suggesting that while it aligns with the brand's emphasis on quality and craftsmanship, it might not be sustainable for mass production. Despite this, the limited release generated significant interest, with influencers like fashion designer Tracy Robbins and Delina Blackie, wife of Harry's friend Nacho Feras, receiving jars and expressing their delight on social media.
However, amidst the excitement, there were moments of apparent snubs and awkwardness. Megan seemed absent from certain social media posts and was caught on camera directing someone to move for a photo opportunity with her husband, Prince Harry, during a polo event in Florida. These instances add layers to the narrative surrounding Megan's public image and her integration into the royal circle.
