Meghan Markle is “jealous” about King Charles’s jam success, according to royal biographer Angela Levin.
She joined Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster on GB News to discuss the surge in sales for the monarch’s Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve ever since Meghan soft launched her similar product.
According to Levin, Meghan could have issues with her product as a result of the ingredients coming from her own garden.
“How many strawberries has she (Meghan) got?”, Levin asked.

“It’s not going to have thousands of people asking for jam, we won’t have it.
“There was a thing she was cross about. Jealous, really. King Charles brings in all the food and the jam from somewhere else.

“He doesn’t do it or get his staff to do it, of course not. They get all the material arriving and then they sell it.
“He gives all the money to charity, but all the money from this brand is for Meghan.
“People have thought, ‘if we are going to get jam, if that’s what is trendy, let’s get it from the King, not from Meghan.”
Meghan sent her limited edition strawberry jam to friends ahead of her brand American Riviera Orchard formally bringing out a range of items.
Among those to post images of the jam jar was fashion designer Tracy Robbins, who showcased jars that the duchess sent out nestled in a basket of lemons.
Her jar was numbered “17 of 50” and she posed an image of the gift on her Instagram account.
The venture was announced in March with an Instagram teaser video showing the duchess cooking and arranging white hydrangeas and roses.
The brief vintage-style footage was set to Nancy Wilson’s I Wish You Love and closed with the brand’s logo.
Meghan’s jam announcement prompted a spike in sales for the monarch’s own jam as his £6.95 range sold out within days of the duchess’s launch.
Charles’s Highgrove brand saw a jump in sales as royalists flocked to buy the preserve.
