Princess Kate’s hidden talent remark could reignite ‘war’ with Meghan Markle, expert says

Royal experts are sparking buzz with their views on Princess Kate’s domestic prowess, potentially brewing a ‘Jam Wars’ scenario with Meghan Markle. Rebecca English and Richard Eden dissected Kate and Prince William’s latest Royal excursion, where the former mentioned her homemade plum jam recipe.

Rebecca highlighted Kate’s fondness for her produce, recounting, “They were growing plums and she made a point of saying, ‘Oh we grow plums and I like to make my own plum jam, I’ll send you the recipe’. “William said it was amazing, her jam. A wry smile on my face – I don’t think she meant it like that but clearly jam is not only Meghan’s jam.” Eden deftly chimed in with a satirical jab at the Duchess of Sussex: “If it was Meghan, she would have said I’ll sell you a jar. Here’s the recipe. Jam Wars.”

These comments came as William and Kate graced Wales with their presence, engaging with the locals at Meadow Street Community Garden and Woodland. It was there that Kate promised young horticultural enthusiasts, “I’ll send you my plum jam recipe so you can try it.” This light-hearted jest over jam sets the stage against Meghan’s launch of her As Ever brand site, featuring jam among its offerings, reports CambridgeLive.

This jovial narrative unfolds as Harry and Meghan continue consolidating their American life post-Megxit—posing questions about the monarchy’s future. The future of Harry and Meghan has certainly come under intense speculation in the past five years, with the Royal Family’s fate also drawing curiosity. Shortly after their Royal exit, questions were raised about Will and Kate’s roles by Graham Smith, CEO of Republic, who voiced his concerns to the Daily Express back in November 2020.

He predicted a challenging decade ahead for the monarchy, noting: “I think the monarchy has a difficult decade ahead. They have lost three of their lead stars at the beginning of the year, Andrew has stepped back and will never come back to the front line.” Smith didn’t stop there; he highlighted the dwindling star power within the Royal Family, saying: “What you are left with is the only recognisable royals as Charles, William and Kate.

“Charles does not have the same warmth and support that others have and quite frankly William and Kate are rather dull uninspiring individuals that will always play second-fiddle to the next monarch.” Emphasising the consequences, he added: “It is all going to take a lot of shine off the monarchy and raise questions on why we have to put up with it.”

While Prince Andrew has faded from public view amid scandals, public support seems to have rallied around the remaining royals – especially amid health scares involving senior members and speculation over their influential capacity in dealings with the U.S., evidenced by a letter from the King to Donald Trump.
