Prince Harry ‘Doesn’t Understand’ Why Meghan Markle’s Jam Is ‘Such a Defining Part’ of As Ever Brand (Exclusive)

Netflix’s Los Angeles offices are reportedly overflowing with boxes and boxes of unsold As Ever products, including Meghan Markle’s beloved jam.

And apparently, a source tells Examiner, it’s the same situation over at the Montecito mansion that Meghan, 44, shares with husband Prince Harry.

“Harry wishes she would just step back and look at this realistically, because from where he’s standing the jam is never going to be the goldmine she thinks it is,” says the source amid reports that a website glitch revealed that her brand had a whopping 220,000 jars in stock.

“He doesn’t understand why it has to be such a defining part of her brand when [there] are so many more profitable ventures she could lean into,” the source adds.

It’s especially frustrating for Harry, 41, adds the source, because his father, King Charles III, has been selling handmade jam for years through his Duchy of Cornwall estate.

“It’s a real sticking point for his father and something that is being seen as a direct attack on the royal family’s coffers by Meghan,” says the source. “At a time when he’s trying so hard to win his father’s favor, having his wife appear to be blatantly going up against the king is a terrible look.”

As Examiner previously reported, the Duke of Sussex desperately wants his kids, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, to get some face time with their cancer-stricken grandfather, 77.

It doesn’t help that Meghan and her preserves have become “this big punchline,” adds the source. “He’s a proud guy and will hate that so many people in his social circle are snickering.”
