Meghan Markle’s $14 Jams Spark Outrage Among Fans
Meghan Markle’s jams, which cost $14 at the launch of her As Ever website, are sparking outrage among fans.
According to the As Ever website, the brand’s Apricot Spread, which is currently out of stock, costs $9.00, while the Apricot Spread in Keepsake Packaging costs an additional $5.
Another product that features these prices, respectively, and is out of stock is the Raspberry Spread and Raspberry Spread in Keepsake Packaging.
Fans immediately took to the comments section to slam Markle for the exorbitant price.
“Where it all began – this signature As ever Raspberry Spread is inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen,” the product’s description states. “This signature blend delicately mixes the sweetness of raspberries with a hint of lemon, and is crafted with a fluid texture so it can be drizzled, spread, poured and enjoyed for so much more than your morning toast.”
The spread with packaging also features this description, mentioning that “this delectable spread comes in elegant Keepsake Packaging, crafted to be cherished long after the last spoonful.”
The ingredients include raspberries, organic pure cane sugar, organic lemon juice concentrate, fruit pectin.
In April, Markle sent her father-in-law, King Charles III, a gift box from As Ever.
UK royal correspondent Neil Sean said that Charles’ official London residence, Clarence House, received a “sample box of delights from As Ever,” which included a variety of “jams, honey, crêpe mix, and various assortments,” as well as a handwritten note from his daughter-in-law.
Last month, the duchess was slammed on Reddit over a post on her lifestyle brand account.
In an Instagram post, she took a photo of her dog, Maia, sniffing a basket of vegetables and herbs she said she picked from her garden moments prior.
“The unofficial quality inspector of this morning’s garden haul,” she captioned the photo.
Critics immediately noted that the vegetables were suspiciously clean and out of season, suggesting that Markle had purchased them at a produce store and placed them in the basket for an Instagram aesthetic.
