Royal commentator Charles Rae has claimed a “jam war” is brewing between the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex.
Speaking to GB News, Rae highlighted the stark contrast between Princess Kate’s recent offer to share her plum jam recipe for free and Meghan Markle’s plans to sell premium-priced preserves.
The comments come after Kate promised to send her recipe to young volunteers during a visit to Wales earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Meghan is preparing to launch strawberry jam through her rebranded “As Ever” lifestyle venture, with prices reportedly set to reach between £25 and £30 per jar.
Charles Rae told GB News that Kate “knows what she is doing”
Royal commentator Charles Rae told GB News: “I think she knows exactly what she’s she’s doing here, especially as she makes her own plum jam.
“And she’s now giving that recipe for free to a well-wisher.
“I suspect that Kensington Palace are going to get flooded with requests for that recipe.
“Now, contrastingly, you’ve got Meghan, who’s now producing some jam. I think it’s a strawberry jam. And that is going to cost you £25 to £30 a pop.
“That is four times more than a pot of jam that you could buy at the Highgrove Royal shop.
“That’s Prince Charles’s estate. So he’s selling jam as well. We’ve got jam wars going on.”
During their visit to a community garden in Wales, Kate offered her recipe to young volunteers who were growing plums and making jam.
“I’ll send you my plum jam recipe so you can try it,” the Princess of Wales said.
Prince William was quick to praise his wife’s preserves, describing her jam as “amazing”.
The mother-of-three has a history with homemade preserves, having reportedly given strawberry jam and plum preserve as Christmas presents in 2012.

The Wales visit marked Kate’s first joint away-day with William since her cancer treatment.
Just hours after Kate’s jam comments, Meghan released a teaser for her upcoming Netflix show “With Love, Meghan.”
Meghan’s “With Love, Meghan” Netflix series is due to premiere on Tuesday after being postponed following California wildfires earlier this year.
The eight-episode show will see the Duchess “share personal tips and tricks” and reportedly “barely mentions” Prince Harry.
