Lord Anthony R.D.
has come forward with shocking allegations against Meghan Markle, claiming that she stole King Charles’ renowned jam recipe.
R.D., a descendant managing the historic Kilroderie House estate near Dublin, Ireland, has a rich family legacy in producing and promoting premium jams.
The estate’s lush gardens, established in the 17th century, host a bustling farm shop that has been offering jams and preserves for years.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Beast, R.D.
revealed that their production yields a few thousand pots annually, each fetching between 5 to 8 euros.
While the strawberry jam is priced modestly, their exclusive damson jam, sourced from a single tree in the walled garden, commands a higher value.
Despite the success in Ireland, these profits pale in comparison to the extravagant lifestyle of the Sussex family residing in Montecito.
The market potential for upscale jams and artisanal goods is evident, as demonstrated by the triumph of Lady Carol Bamford’s Dalesford Organic brand.
Furthermore, the evolution of Dutchie Originals, initially founded by King Charles and later acquired and rebranded by Waitrose as Dutchie Organic, highlights the lucrative nature of this industry.
Interestingly, Charles’ Highgrove label witnessed a surge in organic strawberry jam sales following Meghan’s recent launch of the American Riviera Orchard brand.
Allegations surfaced suggesting that Meghan’s jam venture may have involved appropriating King Charles’ recipe.
Critics argue that Meghan’s pattern of behavior indicates a zero-sum mentality where she resorts to appropriation rather than innovation.
The controversy escalated when GB News presenter Nanette Kewer insinuated that Meghan’s project backfired, inadvertently boosting King Charles’ jam sales.
During a broadcast on April 20th, Kewer criticized Meghan and Harry for mishandling their endeavors, implying that they could have achieved success with the royal family’s support.
The unintended consequence of Meghan’s jam promotion was a spike in sales for King Charles, leading to a complete sell-out within a mere six days.
Notably, proceeds from Charles’ jam sales are channeled towards charitable causes, contrasting with Meghan’s personal gains from her business ventures.
The broadcaster’s scathing remark advising Meghan to dismiss her current advisors underscores the public scrutiny surrounding her actions.
The ongoing feud between the royal factions has not only intensified commercial competition but also shed light on ethical considerations in the business realm.
As the controversy unfolds, the true impact of this clash of interests on the jam market remains to be seen, leaving both supporters and critics eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this royal jam saga.
