Author Tom Quinn told The Mirror that Meghan was devastated by the criticism, especially of her jam, which was mocked for being expensive and unremarkable. Meghan feels unfairly targeted and struggles to understand the negative response to her efforts.

To boost the brand’s visibility ahead of its full launch later this year, Meghan plans a PR campaign, including appearances on chat shows and podcasts, and interviews with selected journalists.

American Riviera Orchard will offer a range of products, including dog grooming items, pet pillows, fragrances, bath salts, skincare, homeware, and food products like jams and marmalades.
