Meghan warned 'this is getting very serious and got to make money' with new jam
Meghan Markle launched her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard and has sent out a batch of the first product - a strawberry jam - to a select number of influencers.
Meghan Markle's new jam business discussed by Cole
Meghan Markle has "got to make money" through sales of her new American Riviera Orchard jam, with one royal expert warning: "This is getting very serious."
Last month, the Duchess of Sussex launched her new lifestyle brand and recently sent out the business venture's first product to influencers - a luxury jar of strawberry jam.
Only 50 jars of the product were made available with the first batch sent to a range of influencers, but royal expert Michael Cole has warned this new product needs to be a responding success for Meghan, telling GB News: "This is getting very serious. She's got to make money."
But Cole believes Meghan could command a three-figure price tag for the jam by pursuing one lucrative supermarket.
He explained: "There's a celebrity supermarket called Erewhon which is nowhere back to front and they sell jars of honey that have been made by the bees owned by celebrities for up to £200 ($250) a jar."

KEY EVENTS
Prince Harry's 'persistent' request to Queen Elizabeth II that she 'adroitly denied'
Prince Harry had a fond relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II, but there was one request he repeatedly made that she chose not to fulfill, a royal expert has revealed.
During the monarch's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, Harry and Meghan Markle brought their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to the UK from their California home.
It was during this visit that Harry persistently sought a professional photograph of his daughter with the Queen, according to royal expert Camilla Tominey.
Prince Harry poised to cancel UK return for Invictus Games event over security fears
Prince Harry is considering appearing at the Invictus Games 10th Anniversary Service via video link or a pre-recorded message, following his recent legal setback over security arrangements in the UK.
The Duke of Sussex, who founded the Invictus Games in 2014, is currently locked in talks over whether to attend the May 8 event at St. Paul’s Cathedral in person.
This decision comes after he lost a bid to appeal his case against the Home Office over police protection, leaving him without the automatic right to use the royal security services.
A source said: "Whenever Harry travels to the UK, his trips are always dependent on how secure he is.
"Before deciding whether to attend the Invictus Games anniversary event, his security team must be sure that St. Paul’s is adequately protected by the Metropolitan Police and his own security needs are met while he’s in London."
Meghan Markle 'terrified' that history will repeat itself for Prince Archie and Lilibet
Meghan Markle is "terrified" that "history will repeat itself" when it comes to her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, a royal commentator has claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex allegedly fears that her children will end up having no relationship with their royal cousins across the pond, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, despite it being her decision to quit royal duties and move to the US with Prince Harry in 2020.
Royal author Tom Quinn claimed Meghan "hates" it when her childhood and family are described as "dysfunctional" and is worried her children may "blame" her in the future of being "deprived" of a "fun and meaningful" existence in the UK.
Prince Harry 'left out in the cold' as fulfilling royal duties 'impossible' from the US
Prince Harry's departure from official royal duties has taken a significant turn as his residency change to the United States indicates a shift away from Britain's royal circles, an expert has explained.
The Duke and his wife Meghan Markle, settled in Montecito, California, in January 2020, stepping back from their senior roles as working royals.
Initially perceived as a temporary move, recent developments have solidified their relocation's permanence. Royal expert Tom Quinn pointed out the broader shifts in royal responsbilities due to this residency adjustment.
He told The Mirror: "There are more profound implications of the change of main residence - because he is a prince of the royal blood and still fifth in line to the throne, Harry is, in theory, still a counsellor of state, charged with carrying out the official duties of the monarch should King Charles become incapacitated.
"For Harry, that is now impossible."
Prince Harry and Meghan's eviction fury as they 'thought Frogmore would always be there'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been accused of being "out of touch" by a royal expert, who suggested the couple believed their former home Frogmore Cottage "would always be there for them".
The property in Windsor was a wedding gift from the late Queen Elizabeth II, but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were evicted by King Charles in March 2023 following their fallout with the Royal Family.
Royal author Tom Quinn argued Harry would have been deeply hurt by his father's decision to reclaim the five-bedroom home.
He said: "Harry and Meghan imagined Frogmore would always be there for them even if they came back to the UK for just a few weeks each year and even if they were no longer working royals."
