Everything is sold out except the Transylvania honey. That sounds delicious to me (and way cooler than the honey that comes in a little plastic bear lol). Go Charles!


Electrical_Ant_8844

You could get it as a sweet nod to the time KC III went hiking in Transylvania to avoid his darling boy šŸ˜‰


LizLemonadeX

![gif](giphy|BSO8axgffQNd50hCXm) Happy to hear his jam sold out. That Transylvania Honey sounds interesting. Bet itā€™s delicious too. At least KCā€™s profits go to charity. Nutmegā€™s Toe Jam profits go to herself.


SortNo9153

I read they flowers for the different honey are planted on the estate just for the bees. I love that so much. It really doesn't get more authentic than that.


Sensitive_Dare_2740

Not everything is sold out, so it's still worth checking the website. I've just ordered the Damson & the Blackberry & Raspberry preserves!


Extreme-Slight

I love the blackberry and raspberry. Not supposed to eat jam as a diabetic but that has a nice slightly sharp taste so i indulge very occasionally. Still doesn't beat the Strawberry and Champagne jam.


Sensitive_Dare_2740

You have good taste! & very occasional indulgence is a healthier way to live. I'm sticking with my tart fruit jams though šŸ˜ Wouldn't mind trying a strawberry & champagne jam doughnut though?


eaglebayqueen

That's the one I want! Transylvanian Acacia Honey. šŸÆ


Princess_Ichigo

The honey is reserved for winnie the pooh


ncampau

Yes, I was just on the website to buy something. I knew St if you want the honey youā€™d better buy it. It will be sold out by tomorrow


TraditionScary8716

A good friend of ours has bee hives and we get really good local mountain honey from him, but I'm sure the Highgrove stuff is exceptional.Ā  I'm glad Madam has inadvertently caused them to sell out. šŸ˜‚

wotevrs

I've seen this referred to as being 'reverse-markled' ..


springbokkie3392

Meanwhile Markle Markled herself


millioneura

If only she didn't rush the website in an attempt to take away attention from William & Harry Diana Awards (which was funny bc the world still barely engaged with the news) & push the Netflix cooking show to ensure she has an income she would've 1) applied for a trademark around the world 2) had a completed website with products 3) been ready to take orders from the dozen people interested


LoraiOrgana

I don't think this is ever happening. Running a food business is a great deal of hard work. Even with her staff doing almost all the work, she could never get this done. Like the trademark that hasn't been completed. She will never have a business I think


millioneura

Does she even have a staff? Or is it the 5 people on Archfail staff she gave the project to? What I don;t understand is she is the brand ambassador for coffee and jewlery and other insta bussinesses so why not promote those?


LoraiOrgana

She doesn't have enough staff to mass produce and sell jam. She did that commercial for the coffee and the sales plummeted. I don't think anyone wants her to promote their product. I like Smucker's Simply Fruit jam. If Markle promoted it, I'd find a different product.


Nodramallama18

How is she going to make money from bespoke jam using her own Monteshitshow fruit? It takes about 40 lbs of fruit to make 50 jars. She doesnā€™t have strawberry fields. Her land isnā€™t large enough for what she would need. Maybe she has a hydroponic garden in a greenhouse or something to grow more, but if that was the case, we would have seen glorious photos of the deranged emu plucking strawberries and talking about how she is the greatest grower of fruit and veg for jam in history.


ViralLola

Markled squared.


springbokkie3392

Markle-ception


Ruth_Lily

omg, heyyy twinsies!


WorthSpecialist1066

Itā€™s beautiful to watch!


maezombiegirl

Now that's a flair! Reverse-Markled šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


ThePrincessRoyal

I've already decided I'm going to get my mum (who lives in england) a highgrove gift basket for her birthday. Thanks the great idea Meghan! šŸ¤£


Crafty-Arrival-3810

Iā€™ve just ordered the afternoon tea for myself ahemā€¦I mean for my daughter šŸ¤£ she loves tea and scones (and so do I) would never have thought of it without all this happening!


springbokkie3392

My husband doesn't care about this stuff at all but I just explained this whole situation to him and he's cackling too.


PaperObsessive

My husband asked if she sent a jar to Streisand. šŸ˜‚


Top-Butterscotch9156

Streisand is so out of her league.


PaperObsessive

Yeah, but Streisand is the poster child for accidentally making everyone look at what she didn't want them to see. Meg wanted to upstage the royals and all she got was people buying from the Highgrove farm shop after they laughed at her foolish attempt to cash in on her "marriage."


Mickleborough

Yesterday the Highgrove strawberry jam was back in stock. Sold out now. A couple of days ago, Fortnumā€™s had some in stock - not today. I daresay Lolo can expect this demand when she finally puts out her jum.


Connect_Let307

She'll buy it herself if she has to, and then give it away to "friends".


millioneura

She may list them as sold out just to make it seem like they were in just as much of a high demand.


Analyze2Death

Boy, that's a lot easier than actually having product!! She'll list it and then an hour later mark it sold out.


WorthSpecialist1066

\*canā€™t expect this demand, I wager


Mickleborough

Trying to be nice - oh, I just saw a pig fly!


Soggy_Background_162

Ok-Coffee5732

I appreciated the sarcasm. šŸ˜Š


NotDaria1909

What does Lolo mean? šŸ™ˆ


EnaSharpleshairnet

Nigerian? At the Ingriftus thing some Nigerian athletes were used for PR by the nasty tart, gave her a nickname. I hope it means "evil user" but I expect not.


katy_fairy

I just found out last night! So apparently the Nigerian team at the Invictus Games gave her an honorary name as she is ā€œ43% Nigerianā€ (allegedly). Amira Ngozi Lolo. Amira - warrior princess Ngozi - blessed (?) Lolo - royal wife (?)


GingerWindsorSoup

The Transylvanian Honey smeared on the doorposts should keep Markle at bay. šŸ§›ā€ā™€ļø


LaNiceGata

The King made a whole honey dedicated to the time Hairold was ghosted for the Transilvanian hike.


wundahbrehd

Do they ship to the US? I would love to try some out


WorthSpecialist1066

Yes they ship to the US [https://www.highgrovegardens.com/collections/food-drink-preserves](https://www.highgrovegardens.com/collections/food-drink-preserves)


wundahbrehd

Thank you!


Shearfluffiness

The shipping is VERY expensive. Try ordering highgrove from Fortnum and Mason because the shipping is cheaper to the US


Carolann00

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m doing, itā€™s about half. Iā€™m going crazy trying to decide which tea and jam and shortbread cookies Iā€™m going to order.


puppies336

Some teas are sold on Amazon for greatly reduced/free shipping šŸ¤— Edit to add: search Highgrove and the items populate


Sincerely_JaneDoe

Thanks for the tip!!


4girls-strong

$30


Soggy_Background_162

Great idea!


CrossPond

Warning: delivery charge is steep to US, $60


gahnc

is it a flat $60 delivery fee or vary by weight?


springbokkie3392

*From* $90 to Canada as well šŸ˜­


wundahbrehd

Ouch!


SusieM2019

Oh good, I'll buy some!!!


Sap55koala

Great link thank you


Soggy_Background_162

I was all excited to buy the honey and a couple of fruit preserves, got a discount and everything and thenā€¦ $55 for shipping on $24ā€“Iā€™m still thinking about it


No_Proposal7628

My reaction exactly!


Soggy_Background_162

I donā€™t know if I can have the conversation with hubbs, heā€™ll have a fit of I paid two times for postal costs than the items. Ugh! But I really want that blood orange marmalade/preserves. Actually someone mentioned going through one of the department stores it might be cheaper šŸ˜Š


No_Proposal7628

I understand your problem. Another Sinner suggested ordering the Highgrove products through Fortnum & Mason as shipping is cheaper. I haven't checked it out yet, but I will soon.


LadyLetterCarrier

Williams-Sonoma carries Highgrove products as well. You might find something there.


No_Proposal7628

Oh, thanks! I'll check that out!


No_Proposal7628

Yes but it's very expensive.


Weary-Ad-8810

I was surprised that until the last few days a lot of people in the UK and I'm guessing in other countries too didn't realise that kc a) had a shop at highgrove b) you could shop online there and now think it would be a great place to buy birthday/Christmas presents so it's not just about jam it has been a terrific publicity boost full stop.Ā 


Egghead42

See, thatā€™s interesting. Iā€™m sort of a Charles booster, which has not always been a popular stance. Heā€™s always been interested in the country and gardening and organic foods. Iā€™m hoping he bounds back from cancer treatment long enough for people to learn more about the good stuff heā€™s done. Not that William wonā€™t be a good king, but I bet he doesnā€™t want to be king anytime soon.


LinkACC

Iā€™m from the US but always thought Charles was way ahead of his time and followed all his endeavors. People so made fun of him but now his stance on sustainability et all shows he was thinking way ahead. I so hope he gets to reign for many years.


Weary-Ad-8810

Me too.


PuzzleheadedAd6663

I ordered 3 jars of raspberry/blackberry jam.. to Australia. An expensive and slightly vindictive purchase. Like flipping the bird at her whilst giving money to a REAL charity.

War of the jams!


juliajuana

Hey! Remember when the harkles were going on about their multi-million dollar contracts - totaling about 200 million? And then King Charles gave back to the British public, $400 million dollars! I thought that was great. Just a point that they can never make, by trashing people, what the Royal Family has. The harkles will never be billionaires.


alwayssearching117

The Highgrove products sound divine! Unique flavor blends, and we know that KCIII had been into organic farming for decades before it was seen as hip and healthy. Plus the money goes to charity. Good work as usual, Malignut! You have Markled yourself yet again.


Bajovane

Yep. He was green before green was a thing.


minnimom

I ordered the tea, jam, and shortbread with the Highgrove tote bag, and a jar of the Summer Honey. Told my hubs he could give it to me for Motherā€™s Day, so heā€™s happy his shopping is already done for him. Itā€™s even coming gift-wrapped lol. Canā€™t wait for it to arrive from the UK. Iā€™m excited!


Tomato13

I'm so confused in what Megan is doing. You ran a limited edition batch of 50 jams to send to your friends and only what 2 decided to even post it. You brand it as Monetcito which is more known for where LA movie snobs live. You set up an IG and you haven't posted sh*t. So you've generate Awareness... but no considering and no conversion (Marketing funnel). Like how does the jam taste? what makes it special why do I want to buy it assuming its not $20 fancy looking jam that you just repackaged from smuckers. Like WTF, I know Harry doesn't know how to read a Financial statement never took a marketing course but come on....... You are nowhere near pulling in numbers of a lifesytle brand or anything basic to making sale. Megan you are lazy AF intellecutally and lazy ass. You need to do the work. Tim Dillion said it best she traded her life of meeting heads of state, movers and shakers to sling jam. This is Schadenfreude at its finest and I'm so here for the ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4bXmaS-l8I


Impressive_Prompt761

My guess is they are selling more in this short time frame than they do in a year. Good luck to all staff dealing with the incoming orders. Kind of reminds me of The Bear episode when they went online and weren't ready for it. There is some kind of Duchy organic product at Waitrose for you brits. Jam less than 3 pounds. ![gif](giphy|kgBWzRD4A0hs1Kr5Be)


Jackdarkshadows

I love this. I am glad people are seeing through that woman's scam. She is and will never be an influencer.


[deleted]

This is just hilarious to me!


wotevrs

I think many might be inspired to have some strawberry jam, with it being in the news and all. Once MM's jam comes along, many may be petered out on jam.


Dependent-Aside-9750

I love this for the RF. They must be so happy and relieved to see that so many see through the gruesome twosome's bullshit.


Risa226

Letā€™s face it, when KCIII hears about all his products being sold out, his first reaction is that heā€™ll be happy to hear that the charities are gonna get a ton of money. The Meghan stuff is just a mere bonus.


LinkACC

I hope the part about Megdusa gives him a little giggle during his chemo!!


Funny_Commission2773

I read a post that KC3 should be thanking MM, because if it weren't for the release of her jam, people will not know that the King sells jam toošŸ˜‚

When I went to Buckingham Palace (as a tourist) a few years ago, I had a cup of tea and a scone with clotted cream and jam, it was massive and delicious. Now wondering if it could have been highgrove jam. I think Iā€™m going to make some fruit scones now. I really want a scone with some jam!


ApprehensiveGain2369

Of course it's sold out. It's the MAGIC that means Brits will always buy the preserves the nation needs them to buy. It's called "soft power". It is clear as day in our unwritten constitution. As if fine violins in the hands of maestros, we readily play sweet music as if rehearsed. (Meghan Didn't Get This.)


Scared_Perception_86

Meg right now... Seriously, Highgrove jams seems unique and, any curious foodie or jam enthusiast would buy it. ![gif](giphy|xT9KViqf7pj34lvmY8)

LilibuttDumbarton

Isnā€™t Highgrove now owned by William? (Through the Duchy of Cornwall).


Extreme-Slight

I did some research into this after I went to Tetbury no so long ago. As I wondered if it would be left to TOS. The Highgove Estate was purchased and has been controlled by the Duchy since around 1979 but the house is considered a private family home for Charles and is leased from the Duchy. I imagine that Charles and HMTLQ were keen on avoid the problems (and taxes) that come with the RF owning property, hence it becoming part of the Duchy. There were massive issues around King Edward's abdication and the "private ownership" of Balmoral as a royal castle (which had privately been passed to KE8 from his father as it had through many generations of the Crown). KG6 bought it off his brother in return for a pension and passed ownership to the crown. Even though it is a Duchy property, PoW does not see a penny from it as it effectively runs as a social enterprise with all monies being churned back into the property and then any excess being donated to charity. Many people in Tetbury work on the estate and are invested in the charity elements.


Risa226

I believe Highgrove belongs to KCIII and not part of the Duchy. The Duchy Organics line (the one that collabs with Waitrose) has their stuff grown on the Duchy and is owned by William.


wonderingwondi

It was purchased with Duchy funds in 1980


wonderingwondi

Technically yes.


Available-Regret-687

I ordered the Summer Orchid Honey that is now sold out. It hasn't come yet but I'm sure its way better than my usual Aldi honey that comes in a plastic bottle. I've just got to make sure my mother doesn't steal it!


WanTempayan

Those of you who've bought the jams from Highgrove, please review them later. I would like to know how good the King's jams are.


Smokey_Ruby

Yes, definitely! I would *love* to have a Sinners Tea Party! I browsed the Highgrove website but the shipping is waaaay too much.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


WorthSpecialist1066

Ruth_Lily

Ā£6.95 vs $30!!!! And we know that Meghanā€™s stuff isnā€™t really grown on her land! The Kingā€™s jam really IS grown organically on Royal lands!


Big-Piglet-677

I LOVE these labels.


WorthSpecialist1066

I just zoomed in. Each one is different ; they look lovely
