This is why the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left Britain – so Meghan could make strawberry jam.
The soft launch of American Riviera Orchard has begun with Meghan sending 50 jars of the (presumably) homemade condiment, topped with a suitably regal cypher of ARO, to her best friends and fellow influencers so they can all post about how amazing it is.
Some of it has been predictably cheesy (Meghan’s Suits co-star Abigail Spencer prompted ridicule with her Instagram photo shoot, sprawled on a lawn with a basket of lemons and the ‘delicious’ spread).
But, in my opinion, Meghan’s quest to be the next Martha Stewart (the American domestic goddess and entrepreneur) is what she should have done from the very start after the couple’s flit to California.
Meghan’s lifestyle brand, named after Montecito’s nickname as the luxurious American Riviera, is a sensible extension of Meghan’s original lifestyle blog, The Tig. But this time, it has big bucks in its sights.
Meghan, I understand, is expected to launch the brand properly on her new Netflix show – which will celebrate ‘the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship’. Meanwhile, Harry is filming a show on professional polo.
A tough start
During a weekend in Florida for Prince Harry’s annual charity polo match, the pair were followed by Netflix crews as he took to the pitch and Meghan cheered him on.
