Meghan Markle reveals price of her raspberry jam – and it’s more expensive than Charles’

After weeks of waiting, Meghan Markle has finally revealed the prices for the first batch of her products from her lifestyle brand As Ever and revealed how fans can buy them

Meghan Markle has finally launched the first products from her As Ever lifestyle brand – and the prices have been revealed. The product line, which comes off the back of her panned Netflix show With Love, Meghan, includes a raspberry spread, honey, flower sprinkles and cookie and crepe mixes.

The raspberry spread in keepsake packaging costs 14 dollars (£10.80), while the limited edition wildflower honey with honeycomb is 28 dollars (£21.60) and flower sprinkles are priced at 15 dollars (£11.60), which Meghan uses frequently and refers to in her Netflix series. The goods are expected to go on sale sometime on Wednesday. In comparison the jam sold at a King Charles’ Highgrove shop is priced £6.95.

Ahead of their launch, Meghan said in a newsletter to followers: “Of course, you’ll find the raspberry spread that started it all presented in keepsake packaging that you can repurpose to tuck away love notes or special treasures, and to remember this pivotal moment with me. Think of it as our time capsule.”

The launch of the new products comes as Meghan has become embroiled in an almost week-long row that has engulfed Sentebale, the charity her husband Prince Harry set up almost 20 years ago but has now dramatically quit amid an explosive row with the organisation’s chair Dr Sophie Chandauka. But ignoring the bitter row, Meghan has pressed ahead with her product launch.

As Ever was originally called American Riviera Orchard, but the name was switched just weeks before the launch after the duchess faced trademarking setbacks. She announced the change back in February in a video on her Instagram account, where she did not address the trademark issues but revealed Netflix is a partner in her business.

She said: “Last year, I had thought ‘You know what, American Riviera, that sounds like such a great name, it’s my neighbourhood, it’s a nickname for Santa Barbara’, but it limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area. Then Netflix came on, not just as my partner in the show, but as my partner in my business, which was huge.”

However, the logo got caught up in a copying row as the palm tree and birds which feature in the As Ever branding looks similar to the coat of arms of the town of Porreres on the Spanish island of Mallorca. However, the Mirror understands that as part of the process of creating the logo, Meghan’s team undertook “comprehensive” global searches of registered trademarks were conducted.

Earlier this week, just before the launch of the eagerly-awaited products, Meghan claimed they would help fans “mimic the magic of Montecito in a way you can recreate at home”. She wrote in her newsletter: “Every item is inspired by the ways I show care to the people in my life, like the lemon ginger tea blend which is a fuss-free spin on the warm drink I make at home using fresh lemons from the garden. Or the crepe mix that transforms a typical weekend breakfast into a chance to reminisce.

“Crepes remind me of my time backpacking through France as a student. Biting into these streetside thin pancakes – filled with chocolate, fruit, fresh lemon and powdered sugar, or made savoury with ham and cheese – they truly are a canvas for flavour. I wanted to bring that memory and experience to you at home. (Also, they’re so easy to make!)”

Meghan added: “I hope when you see what I’ve worked so hard to create, you’re encouraged to know that whatever life brings, you can do it too. Your value, your creativity, your joy – that is you, as it’s always been and always will be. You are you – As ever, and forever.

“Someone once told me the biggest risk you can take is deciding not to take one at all. Now, after careful planning and preparing (while also parenting!), it’s time to bring As ever from my home to yours so you can make the everyday exceptional in an easy yet meaningful way.”
