Buckingham Palace's official store has ignited speculation with a surprising post on social media, seemingly in response to Meghan Markle's recent venture.
Just days after the Duchess of Sussex unveiled her new strawberry jam, the Buckingham Palace official store shared a video promoting its own strawberry preserves.
Using her influential network, the former Suits star showcased her American Riviera Orchard (ARO) jam, elegantly displayed amidst lemons.
However, on Wednesday, the Buckingham Palace Shop's official Instagram account unveiled an advertisement for its own strawberry preserve.
The Instagram reel proposes four quintessentially British ways to enjoy the product, emphasizing its use of British berries.
The post suggests enjoying the jam "On a scone as part of a cream tea. On a crumpet. With a croissant. On toast."
The Palace's post garnered a flurry of reactions from both royal enthusiasts and Meghan's supporters. Some applauded the Palace's social media team, interpreting the post as a subtle jab at Meghan.
One commenter mused, "Did the Palace just subtly troll Ms. Montecito?" while another remarked, "I see you have glued your labels," alluding to Meghan's ARO jam jars.
In contrast, others defended Meghan, criticizing the Palace's perceived snarkiness.
"I will enjoy the Duchess of Sussex’s jam before your mass-produced slight on her. You show your true colors," one individual expressed, while another labeled the Palace's action as "tacky" and "unnecessary."
Amid the debate, questions arose about the Royal Family's stance on Harry, Meghan, and their endeavors, with one commenter pondering, "Do the Royal Family hate Harry, Meghan, and their kids so much that they don’t want them to earn extra income for themselves?"
