Don’t turn into jelly.

Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has debuted its first product: a rustic jar of fresh jam.

On Monday, friends of the Duchess of Sussex flocked to social media to share photos of fruit preserves engraved with the company’s name and logo and wrapped in decorative neutral cloth and string ribbon.

Designer Tracy Robbins thanked Markle, 42, for the gift by posting a snap of the jam in a basket full of lemons on her Instagram Story.

“Thank you for the delicious basket!” Robbins wrote. “I love this jam so much that I don’t know if I’ll share it with anyone :)”

She then tagged the brand’s account and added, “Thank you M!” With white heart emoji.

Robbins shared a second photo of herself holding the container, one of 50 made, and added: “I just wore a little sweater for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” .

Markle and the fashionista wife of Paramount president Brian Robbins appear to have become friends after attending the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Jamaica earlier this year.

Argentine socialite Delfina Braquier, a close friend of Prince Harry and wife of polo player Nacho Figueras, also shared a glimpse of the delicious spread.

“Strawberry 🍓 jam makes me happy,” she captioned a photo of a glass jar in her hand on her Instagram Story. “And I ❤️ your jam @americanrivieraochard.”

More must-see royal coverage:

She also posted a second snap of toast topped with sliced ​​strawberries and smeared with jam.

The photographer enjoyed toast, jam, green juice, and an accompanying cheese plate.

The gift basket appeared to be a soft launch for the product, as the brand’s website remains blank.

Markle debuted American Riviera Orchard in March, launching an Instagram page dedicated to the project and an accompanying website where shoppers can sign up for a waiting list.

At the time, sources told Page Six Style that the business would focus on home, garden, food and general lifestyle products.

“She’s been working on this for over a year. It’s all things that are close to her heart, things that she’s passionate about,” an industry source said.

The trademark application filed by Page Six Style allows American Riviera Orchard to sell a variety of household items, including edible treats such as jellies, jams and spreads, as well as staple tableware such as cutlery, table linens and drinkware. It became clear. Cookbooks are also subject to filing.
