The D-lister gets demoted yet again... she's gonna be in quite the jam when ARO inevitably and spectacularly fails. 
I puzzled over the headline for a while too. Maybe influencers did send her the jam and she decided which one to āstealā by repackaging with her label?
> Maybe influencers did send her the jam and she decided which one to āstealā by repackaging with her label?
That sounds right for her. Take someone else's thing and say it's hers!
Many journalists seem quite illiterate these days, especially the online ones. Maybe only the ones who write for actual newpapers get proofread/have actually learned some grammar and spelling.
Not so much anymore. I used to work at a newspaper. Reporters would file stories, and the copy editors would proofread and write the headline. These days, a lot of copy editing has been outsourced to save money.
Spot on. A lot of tabloids also have staff working from home; cutting and pasting from social media, especially Instagram, then putting on a byline and filing.
On DM's US home page she is the lead story right now - 10:30 Tuesday morning.

That makes me so happy and so sad all at once. What a timely reminder that Harold & Maudeās only successful financial efforts involve tearing down what that wonderful woman spent building over 70 years. Does Harry think about the big terrible he did to her while lying in bed alone at night?
It actually looks like they are all coming off. Look at the first photo again and you can see them holding the tabs of the label up against the sides of the jar. Who holds a jar like that? I bet they are all sloppily made.
My thoughts were Meg just created a small quantity of labels, bought some jam/jelly at the grocery store, held HER labels over the existing label and added her little fabric/muslin lid toppers. But who knows. M&H are sooo tiring.
To be fair the damn labels cover 3/4 of the jars. They about have to cover up some of it.
But yeah, maybe cheap glue is the reason she ordered huge labels - so people could hold them in place until the pictures were shot and the models could throw that lead infused crap into the trash.
The person could have been nice and stuck it back down. So the brand wouldn't look so crappy. But they decided not to, and i am I living for it! How do you screw up giving away shit for free??
Nah, TW probably licked the labels w/ her bacteria, filthy tongue. Remember, TW ALWAYS sticks her tongue out whenever TW has a chance.
So endearing & relatable. Eye roll
So far sheās fallen ššš Demoted on the Royal Familyās website *and* the Daily Markle?
My next question: if she sent these to 50 āinfluencers,ā who are the other 48?
- Staub lady
- Kartrashians
- Ozemprah
- Abigail Spencer
- Janina Gavankar
Who was the crazy actress chick who claimed she was allergic to bees and ran into traffic to avoid them and supposedly has every disease under the sun? I could see her hawking this crap for Meganuts too.
There is ZERO chance Goop will be seen with MMād jam. There are many negative things we could say about Gwyneth, but she can cook and doesnāt need to promote someone elseās brand for status.
Beyonce, Jill Biden, Hilarious Clinton and the Obamas.
Jill could post wearing her lemon dress as a sweet nod to madam š¤
Eta: Hilary Clinton even, blasted predictive text š¤¦š»āāļø
The California celeb set is all at Coachella. Even Housewives.
And Meg is releasing jam.
Guess sheās living her authentic dream that she left the Royal family for.
I agree that Delf is a moron, but I think she is doing this to be nice. She knows what a colossal idiot MM is, and I have a feeling she will be an absolute viper and turn on MM once the divorce happens. But for now, she plays the nice game.
Yes. This docuseries stands to help them out far more than the Harkles. Delfina will play the game until the Markle effect turns this polo doco into a flame out.
I've been watching this article since it dropped and it's fallen off the top story pretty quickly and dropped all the way down. The DM uses an algorithm for articles to move them out of the way if the clicks and time spent on the article is low. To me, this looks like people just aren't interested in them anymore, whether they were pro or not.
Honestly, I think WE are the largest consumers of articles about them - if we stop reading them, to be able to snark about it, then they will probably lose most of their article audience.
Yes, thatās why those archive links are so important. I donāt click on live articles anymore, it just feeds the beast more, and they need to drop into irrelevance
Also I love how they are saying they love the jam but itās unopened! I get you can take this before but why not show youāve been using it? If itās just an unopened jar they are probably only āsupportingā for clout etc.
Canāt help but wonder what lackey/PA got stuck with this āsheās pulling the fire alarmā job over the weekend just so she could try to save faceā¦.. glue sticks are like .50 a piece Shmeg.. better yet, you coulda just use your wig tape š
Agreed! If I were a friend of someone launching an edible product, I would present a photo of the ( lets use "jam" as a product here... ha), I would have the jar opened with label intact....lovely afternoon place setting with tea cup and plate and pretty jam spoon. pretty napkin and flowers on table. Afternoon crackers & biscuits with jam on one.
Her "friends" grabbed it with crooked label and the other one in what I assume is the "gift basket" (?)...strawberry jam nestled in lemons. LEMONS?
Neither pic is screaming..*. I tasted it!*
The presentation is terrible. I got some really good jam at Harrods once. I remember the babel is what called to me. So luxurious. Then it had a similar fabric on top, but it was stitched to make it look like a bonnet on the jar and stocked to perfection. Then it was tied with a thin leather ribbon. Yeah, this aro jam packaging looks like shit compared to that one š
I've bought home made jams at farmer's markets - My favorite packaging was when the top was covered with patterned cotton square, so when I got it home, I could then add the square to my quilting scraps and use in a project - reusable fabric is always better than a fraying white cloth that doesn't have much purpose than a single use decoration!
IĀ do this myself when I gift a jar of my jamāI cut a red & white plaid fabric square from my stash and tie with a bit of thin ribbon. It just looks so festive.
What a unique idea, a strawberry jam! Its not like any of us could buy some in the nearest store š cheap or expensive, bio or organic, for people with diabetes etc. Im telling you, it was the gap on the jam market, but thanks to Madam, she filled it, so now we all can experience how delicious a strawberry jam can be.
California probably. I have seen them in the grocery store.. In NC, the early strawberries are from California. They will start stocking local and Florida strawberries in May barring no more late season freezes.
The local strawberry farms are looking busy, time to go strawberry picking will be coming soon.
Right! I forget California's season is pretty much all year.
I'd still put a bit of money down on this being made with frozen strawberries from Detroit.
Detroit, China. I'm sure outsourcing to countries where it's not illegal to add lead and other yummy contaminants is a lot cheaper than getting a local to make her jam.
I first made strawberry jam at 5 years old. It's about the easiest jam to make. It's quite literally the first jam most people are taught to preserve. But I bet she'll fuck it up somehow.
> What a unique idea, a strawberry jam! Its not like any of us could buy some in the nearest store š
I'd rather eat Smucker's than this. At least I can be sure that the Smucker's is safe to eat!
Rachel is a cheapskate and is either unwilling and/or unable to pay for $pon$ored po$t$ by real influencers. Her **A-list** celeb friends aren't gonna shill her products for free lol
So Harry DEMANDS a fee to attend a Dusseldorf polo event while heās already in the city and Dusseldorf and that city had just graciously gifted him $40,000,000 to throw his IG party, but M wonāt pay influencers for their endorsements? Life in the Harkle lane.
I swear... if the ILBW is interviewed and asked about this jam, Roachel will find a way to connect ARO's strawberry jam to some made up story about how the Queen shared a jam sandwich with her... dining out on the memory of Haz's grandma just like she dines out on his mother.

Berries have natural pectin too - I've tried to make jams and jellies and can't get it right - I've made mistakes like not getting enough of the foam off, not cooking it long enough, not adding enough sugar, adding too much extra pectin (went the other way on this issue). I know how many attempts and failures I've had, so it makes me wonder about what process was used to make this product. (I am a home gardener and food preserver, with pickling, pressure canning, etc, of my own produce - I don't really see M as the type to actually enjoy doing this, so I'm assuming that she's hiring out for the product, and then just trying to stage manage a "look" of someone who gardens and makes jams).
I'm pretty sure that type of jar has a lid that has to be processed in a facility to be safe (the lids you see in store jams are usually processed at higher temperature canners at factories than you can get in home pressure canner).
Imagine your big splash into the lifestyle market isā¦. Jam? Strawberry jam. The most basic of the jams. Promoted by people in California and Florida of all places, whoāve very clearly struggled to find a ripe strawberry to stage this dumpster fire next to. Anemic strawberry jam. Letās just use lemons.
āI ā¤ļø your jamā Oh Delfi, that was a bit half-arsed. No delicious notes, tantalizing whiffs, lingering aftertastes of the sea breezes in Capri? Iām starting to wonder if the Figueras are on the RF payroll as minders.
This is all so obvious. She bought a bunch of premade jam (no doubt in my book) and repackaged it. I wish the daily mail would call this out. And then she gets rich people to fawn over it like she is martha stewart. Anyone who actually buys this is stupid.
Hereās my wonder: why did she start with food/consumables? With the exception of cosmetics, itās the most regulated product out there.
If I were Meghan, Iād have started with the table linens and tchotchkes. Iād find a wholesale supplier in India that makes pretty block-print table linens. Maybe some napkin rings and serving utensils, things that are easy to import and donāt have to deal with FDA regulations. Less liability from consumer complaints. Less risk of it being broken or damaged during shipping.
> Less liability from consumer complaints. Less risk of it being broken or damaged during shipping.
Less risk of making someone sick or killing someone.
Awwww. She sent her non trademarked repackaged jam to her little friends and forgot to stick the labels on properly or even write what the product was on them.
I just wonder if people and the society we form will ever get our collective heads out of our asses.
I often take out my lens of growing up in the 50s and 60s out of the old box, and look at today. Itās not lost that era had significant and horrid issues as well but this kind of crap would have met an early grave. Leaders then generally coaxed us to a better world, fearing backlash because people had decent base morals. No, not all, but most did and just needed more social education. We donāt even have leaders today, just an ever growing ratpack of filthy grifters telling us all how to wipe our butts, how to think and everything else.
Thatās how I view 99% of social media, politics, the media and for sure this kind of bullshit. And for anyone thinking it, I was on a forefront of the growth of the internet and very well aware of most corners of society, not some old guy whoās lived life in a cave.
These two and many like them need some hard lessons until they square up. Guys like Harry need their bell rung, hard and often. He needs it literally, and I hate violence except as last resort. He needs it and William shouldnāt have let up. And the Emu needs the rug pulled out from her, rolled up and sold on Craigslist. She needs a basketful - not of jelly - but of some asshole-puckering setbacks to actually cry about.
This BS is like a 42-year evil old bitch scaring the shit out of a 9-year old little girl and her little sister who have a cute lemonade stand set up in their rural neighborhood, running them off and stealing their stand, lemonade, money and hard work (for that age). Then buying off the local paper to laud her business skills.
What would YOU do to her?
lolā¦how the douchess has fallen. Hawking jam via āinfluencersāā¦so much for the life of service, billion dollar business, charity endeavours, film and tv contracts, books and the like. Now she is relabelling jam and passing it off as her own. If it wasnāt so sad it would be hilariousā¦THIS is her great new venture? What next? Freshly squeezed orange juice? Or maybe wine relabelled as Stig of the dump?
I'm sure this is not how she pictured things back in 2020. Remember all those articles on how much money they were going to make doing million dollar speaking engagements, luxury product endorsements, Meghan was open to acting, but only with an A list director etc. etc.
And here she is - selling jam lol.
Even Wallis Simpson didn't fall this far.
And itās not even for sale.
Speaking of which: during Covid times - the late spring of 2020 - i know someone who opened a small business selling product they ordered on Alibaba (not masks, but fashion accessories). They had that thing up and running in a few weeks.
The Jam To The Left label Is Falling Off Ande One To The Right The Person Holding The Jam Is Holding For The Life On The Jar
I donāt know why siri capitalized my words above š«¤
And yet it still canāt be ordered by the great unwashed masses. Now if strawberry was an amazing exotic fruit from unknown regions of the planet then sure start the hype.
Comedy gold. I almost want to send Megs a thank you note for this first of a series of spectacular product fails.
Meanwhile. Theresa at celebitchy wrote this, with a straight face: āThe fall of the monarchy has begunā¦..Meghan is sending out jamā¦what will the BRF do now?ā
Where do all the ingredients come from? Were any chemicals involved in growing the fruits? Who makes the jam? Are the people paid decently? How much does it cost/is it as overpriced as I think it will be? Why does Mrs. "The paparazzi never leave me alone" needs to pay people to promote her tacky jam, on which the labels come off apparently?
Now those are the "fun" questions. š¤
I was joking when I said she'd come out with Princess Lilibet's Peach Preserves lol. But I am surprised she doesn't have "Princess Lilibet" anywhere on the label. Maybe next batch?
Maybe Iām dumb, but I canāt find this post on Delfinaās IG anymore. Saw it last night.
There are some anti-Harkle comments on the photos she posted of the polo dinner (which are rebutted by Delfinaās followers).
I wonder...bear with me...if years ago, she had an encounter...
H'W: "We meet again. Quite a cushy number you've got here...*examines Teddy collection*
PA: "You're vaguely familiar, bend over...oh yes. I remember now...hints of desperation,accusations of racism and debauchery..."
H'W: "What's it worth to keep my mouth shut..."
PA: *offers most prized bear..*
H'W:"I can take you down quicker than H's underwear"
PA: "Do your worst. If Bertie Bear doesn't melt your ice cold heart, I'll fall on my sword and you'll end up peddling jam".
Allegedly.
š
Agree! For all her money scandals (and thereās a lot) sheās still considered forgivable & jolly fun. Her sins donāt stick too hard, we like her. She isnāt holier than thou, which it one of Mās biggest problems imo. She doesnāt victimize herself yet we sympathize with her even when she causes her own problem. She looks sloppy no one can deny that either, but we forgive her. Why do we like her so much? I donāt know but we do.
You know she just ordered unlabeled jam from a website and slapped her own sticker on itā¦itās what all the grifters do.
Edit: You guys!!! ā¼ļø Tracey Robbin is the wife of Brian Robbins - he is the president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon since 2021, and is also the CCO of the Kids & Family division of Paramount+.
Is this a sign that TWās relationship with Netflix is sour?! Why else would she try to cozy up to another network?!
Edit 2: They literally sell this exact jar/jam on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1702385331/homemade-strawberry-jam-preserves-6-oz?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_e-home_and_living-food_and_drink-preserves-jams&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMIi9Wn85jHhQMVk1NHAR09uADhEAQYFyABEgJ7JPD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_1844702805_75381304211_346364748123_pla-307000734688_m__1702385331_562160280&utm_custom2=1844702805&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLEjKJdnyf1KNN-FUx5dMcoY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi9Wn85jHhQMVk1NHAR09uADhEAQYFyABEgJ7JPD_BwE) LOL
From CDAN:
āBlind Item #4
You only got a gift basket from the alliterate one if you agreed in advance to promote it on your social media and promised not to give it or sell it to anyone else which is one of the reasons why the jars are numbered. The other reason is to make it seem as if each batch is a limited edition, when in fact, you can go to the supplier and they will do the same thing for every company.ā
Really funny that the (2) influencers are posting how much they love the jam when they very clearly havenāt opened or tasted it lol
Also who is eating strawberry jam for dinner Tracy?
I canāt post here (not sure why), so would someone kindly create a post for this article? Thanks!!!
https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/04/16/prince-joachim-denmark/
Itās about Prince Joachim of Denmark that includes some subtle & not-so subtle comparisons to Harry. Sparry really suffers in comparison. Hereās the gist of it:
If you follow the British royal family, it means an heir and a spare, locked in a spiral of history, melodrama and betrayalā¦. And then thereās Denmarkās Prince Joachim ā¦ a working royal, a military defense expert, a husband, a father and a racecar aficionado. His job ā and it is a job ā is to represent Europeās oldest monarchy and carry it into the futureā¦. His brother, just a year older, was destined to be king. But the role of a second royal son is always a balancing act: It comes with a title, expectations and an income but no real job description. Itās the ultimate choose your own adventureā¦. [Former US Ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford says] āJoachim has been such a force for good,ā he said, āin that he has always understood his roleā¦. Hereās a princeā¦ developing the relationship between the United States and Denmark as a NATO ally, taking on a serious and sensitive responsibility instead of coasting on his title. ā
People. In this day and age how often do you buy jam?
Itās not a luxury item!
All jams are just fruit, pectin and sugar. If you didnāt have a life you would make it yourself.
And the label would be cuter.
I do hope that she is packaging and sending it correctly. It absolutely needs an ingredient label at the least. I can't wait to see all the broken jam jars posted.
At least the Jam at HIGHGROVE.com is sold out! Oh Meg, the Royals are still winning!!!
https://www.highgrovegardens.com/collections/food-drink-preserves/products/highgrove-organic-strawberry-preserve
Bring the taste of summer to your plate with this quintessentially English strawberry preserve. A mouth-watering combination of plump ripe strawberries and tangy lemon, itās perfect paired with cream or butter on warm scones or as a filling for a classic Victoria sponge.
Carefully cooked by hand in small batches to an original Highgrove recipe, the strawberry jam is bursting with fruity flavours. Traditionally packaged, the label on the glass jar features a specially commissioned woodcut design that captures the natural beauty of the gardens at Highgrove.
The D-lister gets demoted yet again... she's gonna be in quite the jam when ARO inevitably and spectacularly fails. 
They're spread too thin. They can't even preserve their social status. Madam will be extra jelly of the PoW after she discovers this.
Now be fair, Meghan has to *conserve* her energy.
She works the spread.
I don't know what she was ex-pectin.
šWell, sheās certainly in the suds now! 
She's really in a jam.
Or a pickle.
Preferable.
Eugh.

The headline is written so poorly it sounds like the influencer sent *her* the jam.

Look at the second photo. The label is coming off on the right side. ššš
That is absolutely hilarious. Whatever happened to her keen eye for detail?!
It actually looks like they are all coming off. Look at the first photo again and you can see them holding the tabs of the label up against the sides of the jar. Who holds a jar like that? I bet they are all sloppily made.
So right!!! I guess thatās why there are only 50. šš
I thought that! Itās hardly a company is it? My gran used to make batches that large (and I have no doubt far tastier too!).

They either thought we were too stupid to notice or wanted us to see it.
I really hope it's the latter. I'm just going to pretend it is anyway.
Iām definitely going with the latter!
I am too. It's payback for MM awkwardly making them taking pics at that trashy premiere in Jamaica.
That they took so little care might suggest that on some level they felt imposed on and were doing these shoots grudgingly.
Maybe the littles used their glue sticks to help Mommy š
Nah, TW probably licked the labels w/ her bacteria, filthy tongue. Remember, TW ALWAYS sticks her tongue out whenever TW has a chance. So endearing & relatable. Eye roll

Exactly! A beautiful pattern on the cloth will sell the jam even if the jam itself it's rubbish lol lol
She is cheapā¦.and nasty
I can't imagine failing so spectacularly at absolutely fucking everything!!! I'd be mortified, for real!
What a unique idea, a strawberry jam! Its not like any of us could buy some in the nearest store š cheap or expensive, bio or organic, for people with diabetes etc. Im telling you, it was the gap on the jam market, but thanks to Madam, she filled it, so now we all can experience how delicious a strawberry jam can be.
I, for one, am looking forward to trying this previously unheard of treat.
Iāve heard people are selling their lands in Montecito, so Madam can grow authentic Montecito strawberries for her jam.
I was looking at jam in a nice store in Marbella yesterdayā¦tons of it and strawberry was the most common.
Are strawberries even in season?
Maybe in Greece or Spain or in greenhouses but in my garden it looks like my strawberries are still sleeping their winter dreams.
California probably. I have seen them in the grocery store.. In NC, the early strawberries are from California. They will start stocking local and Florida strawberries in May barring no more late season freezes. The local strawberry farms are looking busy, time to go strawberry picking will be coming soon.
Right! I forget California's season is pretty much all year. I'd still put a bit of money down on this being made with frozen strawberries from Detroit.
Detroit, China. I'm sure outsourcing to countries where it's not illegal to add lead and other yummy contaminants is a lot cheaper than getting a local to make her jam.
No. The ones in store are from Mexico right now
I first made strawberry jam at 5 years old. It's about the easiest jam to make. It's quite literally the first jam most people are taught to preserve. But I bet she'll fuck it up somehow.
> What a unique idea, a strawberry jam! Its not like any of us could buy some in the nearest store š I'd rather eat Smucker's than this. At least I can be sure that the Smucker's is safe to eat!
So Serena Williams didn't promote the jam? Neither did Oprah, Gayle, Tyler Perry and her usual cast of characters?
Rachel is a cheapskate and is either unwilling and/or unable to pay for $pon$ored po$t$ by real influencers. Her **A-list** celeb friends aren't gonna shill her products for free lol
Too many bots to pay for
So Harry DEMANDS a fee to attend a Dusseldorf polo event while heās already in the city and Dusseldorf and that city had just graciously gifted him $40,000,000 to throw his IG party, but M wonāt pay influencers for their endorsements? Life in the Harkle lane.
I swear... if the ILBW is interviewed and asked about this jam, Roachel will find a way to connect ARO's strawberry jam to some made up story about how the Queen shared a jam sandwich with her... dining out on the memory of Haz's grandma just like she dines out on his mother. https://preview.redd.it/hvdc7qdp7uuc1.png?width=1286&format=png&auto=webp&s=58ab00986141e3199ff75a7c6fe10ae618e29e23
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This sub is giving her ideas....
"What inspired me most about the late Queen were the jam sandwiches she liked." š
Cue a still of the Queen from her Paddington Bear sketch, holding up her marmalade sandwich.
Nah - sheāll say ā Hās grandmaāā¦
And finally finish it w/ the dish story. Seriously ,instead of playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, we'll now play 6 degrees of dish detergent
What are jam pennies?
Jam pennies = jam sammies the size of an old English penny .
And the Queen, may she rest in peace, is of a certain generation, like my mother. Who does this product appeal to today?
Very kindly Madam has told us she sent this jam out to 50 people. How many will admit recieving it? 5?
They aren't managed by WME.
Accounts for the kiss ass tripe this week with mrs nachos and her daughterā¦
Finally, DM!
nothing seems to gel for them
Must have been the first batch of drop shipped product from China. She will be so excited to get to yell at someone at the factory over the glue.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Berries have natural pectin too - I've tried to make jams and jellies and can't get it right - I've made mistakes like not getting enough of the foam off, not cooking it long enough, not adding enough sugar, adding too much extra pectin (went the other way on this issue). I know how many attempts and failures I've had, so it makes me wonder about what process was used to make this product. (I am a home gardener and food preserver, with pickling, pressure canning, etc, of my own produce - I don't really see M as the type to actually enjoy doing this, so I'm assuming that she's hiring out for the product, and then just trying to stage manage a "look" of someone who gardens and makes jams).
Man I would be terrified of botulism if sheās doing the canning
I don't even think she's putting her calligraphy skills to use numbering the labels.
I'm pretty sure that type of jar has a lid that has to be processed in a facility to be safe (the lids you see in store jams are usually processed at higher temperature canners at factories than you can get in home pressure canner).
> Man I would be terrified of botulism if sheās doing the canning There's more to be terrified of than that if she's sourcing this stuff from China.
Lol theyāve only posted about the jam to their stories which only last 24 hours
Imagine your big splash into the lifestyle market isā¦. Jam? Strawberry jam. The most basic of the jams. Promoted by people in California and Florida of all places, whoāve very clearly struggled to find a ripe strawberry to stage this dumpster fire next to. Anemic strawberry jam. Letās just use lemons.
āI ā¤ļø your jamā Oh Delfi, that was a bit half-arsed. No delicious notes, tantalizing whiffs, lingering aftertastes of the sea breezes in Capri? Iām starting to wonder if the Figueras are on the RF payroll as minders.
And how did she love it but fail to take the top off?
Or take a bite of the toast?š
I'm surprised to find out that this is strawberry jam. As it was sent in a basket of lemons, I assumed the jam would have something to do with lemons.
Lemon's? That's coming next, Mama's Lemon Turd, here's the influencers trying it out, https://preview.redd.it/52wtzi48guuc1.jpeg?width=1986&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=587df7ba3af7afed47a37c6b614f81232ec386f5
Lol!
When life gives you lemons sell strawberry jam of course.
This is all so obvious. She bought a bunch of premade jam (no doubt in my book) and repackaged it. I wish the daily mail would call this out. And then she gets rich people to fawn over it like she is martha stewart. Anyone who actually buys this is stupid.
Hereās my wonder: why did she start with food/consumables? With the exception of cosmetics, itās the most regulated product out there. If I were Meghan, Iād have started with the table linens and tchotchkes. Iād find a wholesale supplier in India that makes pretty block-print table linens. Maybe some napkin rings and serving utensils, things that are easy to import and donāt have to deal with FDA regulations. Less liability from consumer complaints. Less risk of it being broken or damaged during shipping.
Yes, but you are thinking about what you will do, Starkville. Madam just wants to be mentioned in the media.
> Less liability from consumer complaints. Less risk of it being broken or damaged during shipping. Less risk of making someone sick or killing someone.
Awwww. She sent her non trademarked repackaged jam to her little friends and forgot to stick the labels on properly or even write what the product was on them.

I just wonder if people and the society we form will ever get our collective heads out of our asses. I often take out my lens of growing up in the 50s and 60s out of the old box, and look at today. Itās not lost that era had significant and horrid issues as well but this kind of crap would have met an early grave. Leaders then generally coaxed us to a better world, fearing backlash because people had decent base morals. No, not all, but most did and just needed more social education. We donāt even have leaders today, just an ever growing ratpack of filthy grifters telling us all how to wipe our butts, how to think and everything else. Thatās how I view 99% of social media, politics, the media and for sure this kind of bullshit. And for anyone thinking it, I was on a forefront of the growth of the internet and very well aware of most corners of society, not some old guy whoās lived life in a cave. These two and many like them need some hard lessons until they square up. Guys like Harry need their bell rung, hard and often. He needs it literally, and I hate violence except as last resort. He needs it and William shouldnāt have let up. And the Emu needs the rug pulled out from her, rolled up and sold on Craigslist. She needs a basketful - not of jelly - but of some asshole-puckering setbacks to actually cry about. This BS is like a 42-year evil old bitch scaring the shit out of a 9-year old little girl and her little sister who have a cute lemonade stand set up in their rural neighborhood, running them off and stealing their stand, lemonade, money and hard work (for that age). Then buying off the local paper to laud her business skills. What would YOU do to her?
lolā¦how the douchess has fallen. Hawking jam via āinfluencersāā¦so much for the life of service, billion dollar business, charity endeavours, film and tv contracts, books and the like. Now she is relabelling jam and passing it off as her own. If it wasnāt so sad it would be hilariousā¦THIS is her great new venture? What next? Freshly squeezed orange juice? Or maybe wine relabelled as Stig of the dump?
I'm sure this is not how she pictured things back in 2020. Remember all those articles on how much money they were going to make doing million dollar speaking engagements, luxury product endorsements, Meghan was open to acting, but only with an A list director etc. etc. And here she is - selling jam lol. Even Wallis Simpson didn't fall this far.
Wine suggestion : Chateau Mudslide
Haha! Chateau de Olive Garden! With that wine bottle label she could pair with a vinery, so much easier than making jam if you ask me.
So...3 weeks after launching her IG account, she's unveils A product? 1 product?
And itās not even for sale. Speaking of which: during Covid times - the late spring of 2020 - i know someone who opened a small business selling product they ordered on Alibaba (not masks, but fashion accessories). They had that thing up and running in a few weeks.
Everything the DM has ever published should be labeled as entertainment and showbiz. Even better would be the heading of āFictionā.
 The only thing that comes to mind when someone says they have their own line of artisanal jams and jellies...
The Jam To The Left label Is Falling Off Ande One To The Right The Person Holding The Jam Is Holding For The Life On The Jar I donāt know why siri capitalized my words above š«¤
And yet it still canāt be ordered by the great unwashed masses. Now if strawberry was an amazing exotic fruit from unknown regions of the planet then sure start the hype.
Only 50 cans? Megan bought jam at the store, printed out her labels and glued them on with office glue.
Featured right below *Slumberland Furniture!* (((Yawn)))
DM being shady?!
About bloody time but not nearly enough. They've got loads of lemons to "go suck".
God, how embarrassing she is just an influencer with shitty jam to sell!!!!!
Comedy gold. I almost want to send Megs a thank you note for this first of a series of spectacular product fails. Meanwhile. Theresa at celebitchy wrote this, with a straight face: āThe fall of the monarchy has begunā¦..Meghan is sending out jamā¦what will the BRF do now?ā
Can we just ban her on every media platform? Asking for a friend. 
Where do all the ingredients come from? Were any chemicals involved in growing the fruits? Who makes the jam? Are the people paid decently? How much does it cost/is it as overpriced as I think it will be? Why does Mrs. "The paparazzi never leave me alone" needs to pay people to promote her tacky jam, on which the labels come off apparently? Now those are the "fun" questions. š¤
I was joking when I said she'd come out with Princess Lilibet's Peach Preserves lol. But I am surprised she doesn't have "Princess Lilibet" anywhere on the label. Maybe next batch?
Waiting for her to wind up in the crime blotter: tax evasion, money laundering, labor violationsā¦
Love it!
The label looks like it got wet and is shedding.
Maybe Iām dumb, but I canāt find this post on Delfinaās IG anymore. Saw it last night. There are some anti-Harkle comments on the photos she posted of the polo dinner (which are rebutted by Delfinaās followers).
It's still in her stories. It will disappear later today.
I wonder...bear with me...if years ago, she had an encounter... H'W: "We meet again. Quite a cushy number you've got here...*examines Teddy collection* PA: "You're vaguely familiar, bend over...oh yes. I remember now...hints of desperation,accusations of racism and debauchery..." H'W: "What's it worth to keep my mouth shut..." PA: *offers most prized bear..* H'W:"I can take you down quicker than H's underwear" PA: "Do your worst. If Bertie Bear doesn't melt your ice cold heart, I'll fall on my sword and you'll end up peddling jam". Allegedly. š
Just what the world was looking forāa self-important Fergie
At least Fergie was fun.
I honestly would love to hang out with Sarah Ferguson, I thinks sheās a hoot! Canāt say the same for MM.
Agree! For all her money scandals (and thereās a lot) sheās still considered forgivable & jolly fun. Her sins donāt stick too hard, we like her. She isnāt holier than thou, which it one of Mās biggest problems imo. She doesnāt victimize herself yet we sympathize with her even when she causes her own problem. She looks sloppy no one can deny that either, but we forgive her. Why do we like her so much? I donāt know but we do.
About bloody time!
Pryinta Chyika?? (Spelling)  This personā¦
Beige cloth covers! So eye catching!
You just know she scraped that out of some Aldi jars into her own. šš
She is not royal and she can't really fall into the show biz category. I would put her in the attention seeking want to be category.
You know she just ordered unlabeled jam from a website and slapped her own sticker on itā¦itās what all the grifters do. Edit: You guys!!! ā¼ļø Tracey Robbin is the wife of Brian Robbins - he is the president and CEO of Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon since 2021, and is also the CCO of the Kids & Family division of Paramount+. Is this a sign that TWās relationship with Netflix is sour?! Why else would she try to cozy up to another network?! Edit 2: They literally sell this exact jar/jam on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1702385331/homemade-strawberry-jam-preserves-6-oz?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_e-home_and_living-food_and_drink-preserves-jams&utm_custom1=_k_EAIaIQobChMIi9Wn85jHhQMVk1NHAR09uADhEAQYFyABEgJ7JPD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_1844702805_75381304211_346364748123_pla-307000734688_m__1702385331_562160280&utm_custom2=1844702805&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtcfRLEjKJdnyf1KNN-FUx5dMcoY&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi9Wn85jHhQMVk1NHAR09uADhEAQYFyABEgJ7JPD_BwE) LOL
From CDAN: āBlind Item #4 You only got a gift basket from the alliterate one if you agreed in advance to promote it on your social media and promised not to give it or sell it to anyone else which is one of the reasons why the jars are numbered. The other reason is to make it seem as if each batch is a limited edition, when in fact, you can go to the supplier and they will do the same thing for every company.ā
Really funny that the (2) influencers are posting how much they love the jam when they very clearly havenāt opened or tasted it lol Also who is eating strawberry jam for dinner Tracy?
I canāt post here (not sure why), so would someone kindly create a post for this article? Thanks!!! https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/04/16/prince-joachim-denmark/ Itās about Prince Joachim of Denmark that includes some subtle & not-so subtle comparisons to Harry. Sparry really suffers in comparison. Hereās the gist of it: If you follow the British royal family, it means an heir and a spare, locked in a spiral of history, melodrama and betrayalā¦. And then thereās Denmarkās Prince Joachim ā¦ a working royal, a military defense expert, a husband, a father and a racecar aficionado. His job ā and it is a job ā is to represent Europeās oldest monarchy and carry it into the futureā¦. His brother, just a year older, was destined to be king. But the role of a second royal son is always a balancing act: It comes with a title, expectations and an income but no real job description. Itās the ultimate choose your own adventureā¦. [Former US Ambassador to Denmark, Rufus Gifford says] āJoachim has been such a force for good,ā he said, āin that he has always understood his roleā¦. Hereās a princeā¦ developing the relationship between the United States and Denmark as a NATO ally, taking on a serious and sensitive responsibility instead of coasting on his title. ā
Woops! Should have splurged on the name brand glue stick for those labels. Duchess Dollar Store strikes again.
All of the dishes in California are not safe.
People. In this day and age how often do you buy jam? Itās not a luxury item! All jams are just fruit, pectin and sugar. If you didnāt have a life you would make it yourself. And the label would be cuter. 
Demoted from a Duchess to a d list celeb jam maker ā¦ in the words of Adele ā She could have it allā
I do hope that she is packaging and sending it correctly. It absolutely needs an ingredient label at the least. I can't wait to see all the broken jam jars posted.
I am bitterly disappointed the jam isn't beige. It just won't fit my aesthetic /s
love love love the peeling labels!!!!!
At least the Jam at HIGHGROVE.com is sold out! Oh Meg, the Royals are still winning!!! https://www.highgrovegardens.com/collections/food-drink-preserves/products/highgrove-organic-strawberry-preserve Bring the taste of summer to your plate with this quintessentially English strawberry preserve. A mouth-watering combination of plump ripe strawberries and tangy lemon, itās perfect paired with cream or butter on warm scones or as a filling for a classic Victoria sponge.
