Meghan Markle’s close friend, Abigail Spencer, recently gave a glowing review of the Duchess of Sussex’s new strawberry jam from her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. In an Instagram post on April 21, Spencer posed with the jam in a bowl, declaring, “This jam is my jam.” She also shared photos of herself enjoying the sunshine while lounging in the grass with the jam, lemons, flowers, and a dog that resembled one of Meghan and Prince Harry’s pets.
Fans were quick to speculate that the dog in the photos could be Guy, a beagle Meghan adopted in 2015, or possibly their senior beagle, Mamma Mia, adopted in 2022. Regardless, the photos provided a glimpse into the friendship between Spencer and Meghan, as well as a preview of Meghan’s upcoming lifestyle brand.
American Riviera Orchard is set to officially launch later this spring, with Meghan already sending jars of the limited-edition strawberry jam to some of her A-list friends, including Mindy Kaling and Tracee Ellis Ross. The brand is said to reflect Meghan’s love for family, cooking, entertaining, and home décor.
In addition to her lifestyle brand, Meghan and Harry have announced two nonfiction series in production with Netflix. One curated by Meghan will focus on cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship, while the other will provide insight into the world of professional polo, a sport Harry has played for years. With Meghan’s new brand and upcoming projects, fans can expect to see more of her passion for food, entertaining, and home décor in the near future.
