Meghan Markle, amidst the buzz of her entrepreneurial venture, dispatched an impressive tally of 50 jars of her jam. However, despite this generous distribution, only a modest eight individuals have stepped forth to publicly endorse her creation. The identity of the fortunate recipient of the inaugural jar remains shrouded in mystery, fueling speculation among royal followers. Rumors abound, suggesting luminaries such as Oprah Winfrey or Michelle Obama may have received jar number one.
As anticipation builds and the remaining jars find their way into the hands of recipients, the world watches with bated breath to see whose taste buds will be the first to experience Meghan's jam. A source recently revealed on a blind item that Michelle Obama received a lemon basket and a jar of jam from Meghan Markle. Obama has kept away since that Oprah interview, telling Access Hollywood that there's nothing more important than family. Would some organic preserves be enough to win back the nation's preeminent force for healthy eating?
The source said that Michelle Obama ignored Meghan's gift, although she recently had a good relationship with the Beckhams. In the meanwhile, Meghan and Harry are reportedly in a feud with the Beckhams after relaunching their new brand, American Riviera Orchard.
One thing Harry and Meghan have been advised is that they need more big-name celebrities on their side, with former Sussex allies David and Victoria Beckham at the top of the hit list. But now, David Beckham would really like a royal honor. He waited in line for hours at the Queen's funeral. He's not getting back with social pariah Harry, not to mention his toxic first wife.
Meghan Markle has been known to rub some people the wrong way over the years. Since marrying into the royal family in 2018, she's been thrust into the spotlight. Now, thanks to her business venture, she could be stepping on the toes of former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.
During a recent interview with The Sun, Denise Palmer Davies, director of Born Meteora and branding expert, weighed in on Meghan's new business venture, her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard. She noted that while Meghan's endeavor could be lucrative over the long term, she shouldn't be under the impression that it could be an overnight success.
Palmer Davies noted that Victoria Beckham and actress Gwyneth Paltrow have spent years perfecting their brand and building their respective businesses. She adds that this can be a challenging market to crack into, and even Miss Beckham has had her fair share of obstacles as it's such a saturated market.
During the interview, Palmer Davies states that Meghan will need a solid financial and marketing team behind this to make it work. She notes that in this day and age, brands can't survive on name alone.
Who else might have received Meghan's strawberry jam? The next one could be Kerry Washington. She pals with Tyler Perry and Edward Enninful and has 7 million Instagram followers. Plus, Prince Harry has had PDA with her a couple of times, most recently at the Beyoncé concert. But wait, will Meghan send the Saudi prince who gave her the mysterious earrings a jar of jam?"
