Unveiled: Meghan Markle's £6.50 Jam Mystery – Made Far from Montecito
ROYAL SWEETHEART: MEGHAN'S £6.50-A-JAR RASPBERRY SPREAD EXPOSED AS MASS-PRODUCED BY US GIANT!
In a shocking revelation that has left fans of the Duchess of Sussex reeling, it's been exposed that Meghan Markle's pricey jams are not made from scratch in her Montecito mansion after all. The £6.50-a-jar raspberry spread sold under her As Ever brand is actually manufactured by none other than The Republic of Tea, a US giant with a factory 2,000 miles away in Illinois!
This bombshell comes just as Meghan's As Ever website has been flooded with half-a-million visits after the last "product drop" on June 20, leaving many wondering if the Duchess was being truthful about her "artisanal" jam-making process. Insiders close to Meghan confirm that she did start with a homemade recipe, but then worked with Republic of Tea to develop a commercial version that could be produced at scale.
But here's the kicker: The Republic of Tea also makes Meghan's sold-out orange blossom honey - priced at £20 ($28) a jar! And if you thought that was surprising, wait till you hear about her tie-up with Bridgerton, the hit Netflix series set in Regency England. It seems the firm is behind the "strawberry and wild rose" preserve featured in the show.
Fans of the Duchess have been raving about her "signature" raspberry jam, which she claims was inspired by a recipe crafted in her own home kitchen. But now, a video shared by Meghan shows the process of making the spread - and it's not exactly what you'd call "homemade." In fact, it looks suspiciously like mass-produced manufacturing!
But don't just take our word for it! A source close to the Duchess revealed that in order to create the commercially available product, they started with Meghan's homemade recipe and worked to develop a version that could be produced at scale. That means no more claims of artisanal jam-making, folks!
The news is sure to raise eyebrows about the sustainability credentials of As Ever, especially given the emphasis on "crafted" and "homemade" products on Meghan's website. After all, if you're going to market something as a premium product, shouldn't it be made with love and care in your own kitchen? It seems we've been duped into thinking our Duchess is more hands-on than she actually is.
But hey, at least the jam tastes good, right? And let's not forget those sold-out tea bags! As Ever's £9 ($12) tins of hibiscus, lemon ginger, and peppermint teas have been flying off the shelves, but it seems they're made by Republic of Tea too. Talk about a convenient partnership!
So there you have it - the truth behind Meghan Markle's jam-making empire. Will this scandalous revelation tarnish her reputation as a passionate jam enthusiast? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: The Republic of Tea has got its fingers in all sorts of royal pies!
