The Duchess of Sussex's new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard has revealed its first line of products in a hamper delivered to Meghan's friends.
The likes of Tracy Robbins, a fashion designer, and Delfina Blaquier, the wife of polo player Nacho Figueras, received the delivery, which contained a beautifully packaged jar of jam.

"Thank you M!" she added, tagging the Instagram handle of Meghan's brand.

In another snap, Delfina penned: "Strawberry jam makes me happy. And I [love] your jam," tagging American Riviera Orchard's Instagram page.
Meghan first unveiled her new venture back in March when she launched a website and Instagram page with the name 'American Riviera Orchard'.

While her website and Instagram page haven't revealed any details about her brand, trademark application filings have disclosed some of the products she might be selling, including digital and print cookbooks, tableware such as cutlery, dinnerware and decanters, napkins and tablecloths, and a variety of food ranging from jams and jellies to spreads and butters.
It's also been reported by MailOnline that Meghan has added cosmetics and beauty products to the list of products, including scented oils, soaps, and haircare.

Described as "a hub for the discerning palate - those with a hunger for food, travel, fashion & beauty", the blog provided a platform for Meghan's fashion, travel and beauty tips. She also shared recipes and interviews with inspirational women.
Royal expert Christine Ross told HELLO!: "American Riviera Orchard is a logical next step for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Before her marriage, her website The Tig was growing in popularity and notoriety.
