The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is tipped to launch the full business American Riviera Orchard later this spring.

Meghan has sent jam to at least nine other friends who have posted about it online, including Kelly McKee Zajfen, Abigail Spencer, Delfina Balquier, Kris Jenner, Garcelle Beauvais, Tracy Robbins, Mindy Kaling, Chrissy Teigen, and Tracee Ellis Ross.

Dorak is one of Meghan's best friends and they went skiing together earlier this year.

The duchess was pictured smiling with Dorak and another friend, Kelly McKee Zajfen, on the slopes of Powder Mountain near Salt Lake City in Utah in February.
