First look at Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard brand as she sends gift basket to 50 close pals

ROYAL fans have been given their first glimpse at Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, including one product that could be available.

The Duchess of Sussex has delivered several beautifully-packed gift baskets to friends and influencers before the launch.

Several close pals have shared photos of their pre-launch promotional baskets, including fashion designer Tracy Robbins.

Tracy and her Paramount boss husband Brian Robbins are friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and invited them to the Bob Marley film premiere in Jamaica.

She shared a photo of her package and added the caption: “Thank you for the delicious basket! 

“I absolutely love this jam so not sure I’m sharing with anyone. Thank you, M!”

Tracy added: “American Riviera Orchard breakfast, lunch and dinner just got a little sweeter.”

It seems 50 lucky people have received the hampers, as Tracy’s jam jar had “17 out of 50” on it.

Another person to have been sent the package is Delfina Blaquier, the wife of polo player Nacho Figueras, who was seen with Meghan at the polo last week.

Delfina shared a photo of her gift (number 10 out of 50) alongside some jam-covered toast.

She wrote: “Strawberry jam makes me happy. And I [love] your jam.”
