Meghan Markle has shared the jam preferences of her family, revealing the distinct tastes that each member favors.
According to the Duchess of Sussex, her husband, Prince Harry, has a penchant for raspberry jam. Meanwhile, their daughter, Lilibet, who is four years old, delights in strawberry, and their seven-year-old son, Archie, enjoys a blend of both flavors.
At 44, Meghan, who heads the As Ever brand known for its gourmet jams, rosé wine, and floral garnishes, expressed her personal favorite: orange marmalade.
Offering a glimpse into family life, she affectionately refers to her children as ‘Arch’ for Archie and ‘Lil’ for Lilibet.
In a promotional Instagram post by As Ever, Meghan explained, “Each family member has a unique favorite. My husband is fond of raspberry, Lil loves strawberry, and Arch likes both. Personally, I prefer the marmalade.”
The post is captioned: ‘Inspired by the jams Meghan has created in her own kitchen and shared over the years, each spread reflects a small-batch, carefully balanced approach to flavor.
Describing the jams, she added, “Bright and fruit-forward with just a hint of tartness and a whisper of lemon, these spreads are crafted to showcase the fruit’s natural essence without overpowering it.”
Meghan’s latest video comes days after she shared footage of Harry, 41, delivering a cake and gifting her a penguin statue present as the pair celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary.

Meghan’s As Ever brand was previously partnered with Netflix.
But in March, months after the streaming giant dropped her lifestyle show amid savage reviews from critics, the companies split.
A spokesman for As Ever at the time confirmed to the Daily Mail: ‘As Ever is grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year.
‘We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own.
‘We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.

Even before her wedding to Prince Harry, the then Meghan Markle set off alarm bells with an act my sources called ‘a punch to the solar plexus’. It says so much about everything that has happened since… Sign up to the newsletter here to read what I discovered
And last month, Meghan promised Patrick J Adams that a jar of her jam is ‘en route’ to him after her Suits co-star joked that he hadn’t received one because he doesn’t have enough social media followers.
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast last month, Patrick, who played Meghan’s love interest Mike Ross in the legal drama, admitted ‘I did not get a jam’ after host Amanda Hirsch revealed she was sent flower sprinkles and spread from As Ever.
The duchess was mentioned multiple times during the episode, including when Amanda asked Patrick if she had ever sent him a ‘handwritten note’.
‘Yeah, I’m sure I got a handwritten note,’ the actor replied, before praising Meghan’s ‘impeccable’ and ‘astonishing’ penmanship.
‘Did you get a jam?’ Patrick fired back before Amanda said she had received a care package containing As Ever’s $15 flower sprinkles and $12 spread.
He then joked, ‘I don’t have enough followers, I don’t think,’ as Amanda teased him, saying: ‘You need to get on the list.’
After a clip from the segment about the duchess was posted on Instagram, Meghan left a comment for Patrick and his wife, Troian Bellisario, letting them know that ‘jams [sic] en route for you’.
