Meghan Markle sent her jam to an A-lister as the duchess looks to deepen ties between famous families.

The Duchess of Sussex sent a jar of her American Riviera Orchard jam to Kris Jenner with a personalised touch.


Meghan has recently announced a new lifestyle brand from which she plans to sell a range of products including jars of jam.

On Wednesday, the American socialite and media personality posted a story on Instagram of Meghan’s jam in a bowl surrounded by lemons.

In the picture, there was also a handwritten note addressed to Kris Jenner in what appears to be Meghan’s handwriting.

The writing looks like the same impressive penmanship as the American Riviera Orchard text; the duchess used her calligraphy skills by designing the logo and text of her brand.

Jenner thanked the duchess stating: “Thank you @americanrivieraorchard” with an emoji of a lemon and a yellow heart.

Meghan has sent her jars of jams to several celebrity friends including Abigail Spencer, the duchess’s Suits co-star, and fashion designer Tracy Robbins.

Last year, it was reported that the duke and duchess were lining up a partnership with Kim Kardashian, one of Kris’s daughters.

Royal commentator, Kinsey Schofield, told GB News: “It's a great reflection of how their brand has fallen, which I thought was really interesting.

“But of course, for Meghan, it's going to be a total win because Kim Kardashian is one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

“She desperately needs that friendship.”

An insider also claimed that Kris Jenner was trying to bring Harry and Meghan “into the mainstream.”

The source said: “It's no coincidence that the Kardashians all move in the same circles as Meghan's new circle.

“It's just a slam dunk for the two families to team up, but Kris doesn't want to push too aggressively, too soon."

In August 2023, Meghan Markle's mother was pictured alongside Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian at the This Is About Humanity's fifth annual soiree.
