Mystery Last night surrounded the Duchess of Sussex's plans to launch her long-awaited life-lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard with the sale of gastronomic jam.
She was generally expected to time the unveiling to coincide with the debut of her long -awaited Netflix series with Love, Meghan.
But barely two weeks before the series starts to stream on March 4, it remains unclear where Meghan will buy her fruit, who will pack her products, and whether a single jar of jam is still bottled.
Sources have claimed that items from its new product line are 'tastefully inserted' in the eight-part series, but Netflix and representatives of the Duchess have refused to comment on this.
And after having spoken with dozens of fruit farmers, jam producers and industrial food power stations within 100 miles of her house in Montecito, California, the mail can reveal on Sunday that no one claims to know something about Meghan's product.

Labeled with Meghan's elegant calligraphy, garnished with a delicate ribbon tied in an arc, was the embodiment of home -made elegance and gastronomic luxury that she is desperate in the field of her lifestyle brand. But farmers and jam makers are skeptical.

“We don't have any knowledge,” said Molly Gean, whose farm Gourmetserven produces under the Harry's Berries brand – no connection with Prince Harry.

“Products or services must come from the place as identified in the name of the trademark,” said lawyer of the trademark and intellectual property Michael Cohen of the Cohen IP Law Group in Los Angeles. It has been suggested that she has difficulty getting the trademark approved.

“The American people have the right to know whether or not Harry was fair in his application with regard to his drug use and whether he received preferential treatment when applying for the United States.”
Lawyer Samuel Dewey of Heritage Foundation said: “We are happy that the judge takes our case seriously and we look forward to revising the new material.”
