Meghan Markle is being forced to give out free jam after an ordering glitch has left some customers disappointed. Just weeks ago, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, dropped her second batch of As Ever products, which included spreads, preserves, flower sprinkles, teas and a crepe mix.
The products sold out within hours, with Meghan thanking fans for supporting her business. However, it seems that the launch was not all smooth-sailing, with a glitch taking place that will end up costing the duchess money.
It has been reported that some customers who ordered products during the summer launch last month may not receive these, and instead will receive a refund.
The Telegraph said that emails were sent out to some customers explaining that due to “high demand”, some orders could not be fulfilled.
Instead, Meghan is set to give these affected customers a refund, and has promised to give them apricot spread when it is back in stock “free of charge”.
Despite this ordering issue, Meghan still went ahead with the launch of her wine yesterday.
The duchess’ debut As ever Napa Valley Rosé sold out within an hour and retailed at £22 a bottle.
Customers had to buy the wine in batches of either three, six or twelve.
This enraged some fans online, with many quick to mention just how expensive the new As Ever is.
One fan wrote on X: “It was horribly expensive.”
Another said: “$30 per bottle. Quite steep for a Rosé in my opinion.”
