In a shrewd move that echoes Queen Beyoncé's marketing tactics, Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand, American Riveria Orchard, is stirring up anticipation for its upcoming strawberry jam release. Although the delectable preserves have yet to hit store shelves, the brilliant PR campaign surrounding them has already captured the attention of eager consumers and critics alike.

Taking a page out of Beyoncé's playbook, Markle's product rollout strategy draws comparisons to the high-profile promotion of Ivy Park's athleisure line, which involved sending custom collections inside enormous orange boxes to select A-listers. This inspired stunt generated significant buzz and media coverage, leaving people wondering who made the exclusive list.

Paying attention to the impact of celebrity endorsements, Markle has already managed to secure a coveted spot on the shelves of influential figures in society's upper echelons. Each jar of her jam features a batch number, indicating that only 50 were produced. The inclusion of this detail adds an intriguing element reminiscent of Beyoncé's Ivy Park rollout, leaving fans speculating about who received the coveted jar.

Among the fortunate few who have already joined Markle's jam club are her close friend Kelly McKee Zajfen, co-founder of the non-profit Alliance of Moms, who proudly claims Jar #3. Suits co-star Abigail Spencer takes Jar #6 and impresses her followers by posing with what seems to be one of Harry and Meghan's beagles.

The married Sussex couple's best friends, Nacho Figueras and Delfina Balquier, secure Jar #10, while the ever-present Kris Jenner snags lucky #13. Fashion designer Tracy Robbins flaunts her Jar #17, teasing that she might not share it with anyone. Actress Mindy Kaling excitedly shows off her Jar #19, and Chrissy Teigen shares her jar, #20, with her husband John Legend in a playful Instagram Reel. Meanwhile, Tracee Ellis Ross gives a glimpse of her Jar #21 on her Instagram story.

While it remains uncertain who will be the next recipient of Meghan Markle's prized jam, speculation abounds. Fans are eager to see if beloved Suits star Gina Torres, media mogul Oprah Winfrey, tennis champion Serena Williams (a close friend of Markle's), or even Beyoncé herself could be in the running.

Despite Buckingham Palace's recent attempt to advertise its own jam brand just days after Markle's announcement, the Duchess seems unfazed. With such influential celebrity friends in her corner, Markle's American Riveria Orchard is poised to make a splash in the competitive culinary world. It appears that sweet success is on the horizon for the Duchess of Sussex and her highly anticipated strawberry jam.

As the release date draws closer, fans and food enthusiasts can't help but salivate at the prospect of trying Meghan Markle's tantalizing creation. One thing is for certain: this royal kitchen rebellion has all the ingredients for a recipe for success.
