Meghan’s business, which she has partnered with for Netflix, was officially launched in April. Among the products for sale were raspberry jam, wildflower honey, shortbread biscuit mix and edible flower sprinkles.

More recently, the Duchess has launched her own rosé wine.

The launch was coupled with her lifestyle show on Netflix, titled With Love, Meghan, which features the Duchess promoting a domestic idyll.

Though widely panned by critics, the streaming giant has renewed it for a second season, which is being released this autumn.
