From Meghan Markle's unexpected foray into artisanal jam-making to Rebel Wilson's explosive claims of a drug-fueled royal orgy, no stone is left unturned as Deep Crown offers his unique insights and witty commentary.

But it's not all salacious gossip and titillating rumors. We also hear about Prince William's heartwarming visit to St Michael's School in the West Midlands, where he showcased his commitment to mental health initiatives and even shared his daughter Princess Charlotte's favorite joke.

Looking ahead, Deep Crown discusses the upcoming Trooping the Colour parade and the emotional implications of the Princess of Wales' absence due to her ongoing cancer treatment. Will the royal family rally together in the face of adversity, or will the optics of a sparsely populated balcony send shockwaves through the monarchy?

More back and forth about the Jam Wars.

Kate is Wonderful.

Sophie is Wonderful...but a litle annoyed.

Chrissy Teigen recently showcased her support for Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam, seemingly in response to Buckingham Palace's alleged dig at the Duchess of Sussex. The palace had promoted its own variation of jarred jam just days after Markle sent out samples of her preserves to close friends.

On Wednesday, the Buckingham Palace Shop Instagram page received comments suggesting it had thrown "epic shade" at Meghan, after it uploaded an 18-second video showcasing four ways in which consumers could use their "strawberry preserve."


The Palace posted:  "Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious served in a variety of ways "Some of our favourite ways are shown here: On a scone as part of a cream tea. On a crumpet. With a croissant. On toast. How do you enjoy your strawberry preserve? Let us know in the comments!"

As the battle of the jams escalated, Chrissy Teigen prepared a delicious treat using Markle's fruit spread, captioning the post, "We jammin!!" The "Cravings" cookbook author combined rustic bread, salted butter, triple cream Brie, bacon, and Markle's exclusive preserves to create a sweet and savory sandwich. "This might have been one of the best bites we've had all year," Teigen gushed, sharing the treat with her husband, John Legend, and their kids.

Teigen and Markle, both former "Deal or No Deal" briefcase models, have been supportive of each other over the years. However, Teigen recently admitted that she and Legend have yet to go on a double date with the TV Cooking Show Host and the Spare.

Some social media users had warnings for Tiegan. One called the post “cringe”, another said  “It’s a jar of strawberry jam for goodness sake.  She’s only interested in you for publicity - please don’t fall for the narcissist’s absolutely typical behaviour

The show of support comes amid the controversy surrounding Buckingham Palace's promotion of its own strawberry preserve. The palace captioned a video, "Our Strawberry Preserve is made using only the finest berries and is delicious served in a variety of ways," leading many to believe it was a dig at Markle, who recently launched her new lifestyle brand.

Kris Jenner revealed Meghan gifted the Kardashians star one of her exclusive strawberry jam jars, as shared on Jenner's Instagram Story this week.


Jenner took to social media to showcase the thoughtful gift, which was numbered 13 out of just 50 jars sent to influential food enthusiasts. The hamper also included a beautiful set of homegrown lemons, adding a fresh and vibrant touch to the package.

A personalized white notecard featuring Kris Jenner's name in elegant calligraphy completed the thoughtful gift

An industry source previously told Page Six Style that Markle had been working on the brand for over a year, focusing on home, garden, food, and general lifestyle wares. 

Royal columnist Maureen Calahann told GB News "The only real thing that Meghan Markle and her husband have to merchandise is their connection to the Royal Family, it really is the singular point of interest for either of these people.  What's true, that we know, is that Harry and Meghan are now in a complete informational blackout. They have no idea what is going on with the health of Kate. They have really no idea, it seems, what's going on with the King so she has really nothing to offer."

The Daily Beast reports Even Meghan’s Dog Has Been Roped Into Selling Jam.
Per the Beast, Mamma Mia—a Beagle who was rescued from an animal testing facility with eight pups—was adopted by Meghan and her husband Prince Harry in 2022, joining their other rescue dog, Guy.

Meghan’s friend, the noted Jam Enthusiast Abigail Spencer has been   upstaged by photographs of Mamma Mia, nuzzling Spencer in the latest pictures. The presence of the dog playing with Spencer in what looks like a verdant garden suggests that the picture may have been taken at Meghan’s $14 million Montecito home.

Abigail Spencer’s long-lasting friendship with Meghan started back in 2007. 
Spencer recently recalled the moment, while guesting on the Kelly Clarkson show, saying, "I was doing a pilot for NBC, and I went to read with the people who were supposed to play my best friend. They were testing other actresses. I walk in, I see this beautiful gorgeous creature at the end of the table and I'm like, 'Who is that?' We had an immediate something, you know? And her name is Meghan Markle."

"It was just something between us. Our friendship really developed during that time, and deepened. She's an incredible person."
 

We asked our royal insider if they had received one of the 50 jars of Meghans jam.  Deep Crown told us:

"Well, well, well. I must say, I'm flattered that you would think I might be among the chosen few, but alas, my pantry remains sadly bereft of the Duchess's culinary creations.

. I imagine the list of recipients for Meghan's jam is a veritable who's who of the glitterati, carefully curated to maximize buzz and star power.

But really, is this what we've come to? Speculating about the distribution list for a batch of strawberry preserves? I know the royal news cycle can be a bit slow at times, but surely there must be more pressing matters to discuss than the contents of Meghan's kitchen.

We decided to ask Deep Crown about Rebel Wilson’s Royal Orgy story from yesterday.  They said, “"You know, there's an old saying in London: 'You hear a lot of things in this city, and some of them are even true.'”
This is certainly a juicy bit of gossip, isn't it? A wild party attended by a minor royal, complete with drugs, orgies, and all manner of debauchery. It's the kind of story that would have the tabloids salivating and the social set buzzing for weeks, but here we are talking about jam.

But you know, as salacious as these details are, I can't say I'm entirely surprised. The British aristocracy has a long and storied history of secret parties and illicit pleasures, dating back centuries. From the hedonistic excesses of the Hellfire Club in the 18th century to the drug-fueled soirées of the Swinging Sixties, there's always been a undercurrent of wild behavior bubbling just beneath the surface of polite society.

Of course, the royals themselves are no strangers to this kind of thing. Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon were notorious for their wild parties and bohemian lifestyle, and there have been plenty of other royals over the years who have been caught up in scandals involving drugs, sex, and other vices.

But the key word here is 'secret.' These kinds of parties and behaviors are rarely talked about openly, and when they do come to light, it's often in the form of rumor and innuendo, rather than hard facts. That's why it's so difficult to pin down the identity of the royal in question in this particular case - the aristocracy closes ranks around its own, and there's a powerful incentive to keep these kinds of stories under wraps.

Rebel Wilson, in her memoir "Rebel Rising," has made a shocking claim that a member of the British Royal family invited her to a drug-fuelled orgy at the home of a US tech billionaire in 2014. Although she did not name the minor royal in question, Wilson provided details about the party and the events that transpired.

According to Wilson, she received a last-minute invitation to the party from a man who is "like fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne." The party, which had a medieval theme, took place at a rented ranch just outside Los Angeles. Wilson described the scene, saying, "Men were jousting on horses in a field, girls dressed as mermaids were in the pool ... The property was massive, and because it was quite a drive, people had been assigned rooms to sleep there overnight."

As the night progressed, Wilson recalled, "I watch the British royal flounder around whilst I continuously hike up my boobs ... There's a huge private fireworks display and then all of a sudden it's 2am and a guy comes out with a large tray piled with what looks like a ton of candy." When she inquired about the "candy," the man holding the tray informed her that it was actually "molly [MDMA]," and another person explained that it was for the orgy that typically starts around that time at such events.

Wilson realized that the comment made by the Windsor about needing more girls made more sense in this context. She wrote, "They weren't talking about a boy-girl ratio like it was a year-eight disco. They were talking about an ORGY!" Upon this realization, Wilson said, "Needless to say, I hike up my damsel dress and run out of there as fast as I can."



It has been revealed that Meghan Markle's new podcast will not be launching until 2025, as the TV Cooking Show Host has had to put her audio projects on hold to focus on her latest Netflix series, which will cover topics such as "cooking, gardening and friendship."

After her twenty five million dollar Spotify deal for 12 episodes was terminated following the controversial Archetypes podcast, Meghan entered into an agreement with US network Lemonada Media. However, producers at her new company have decided to delay the podcast's release to avoid "scheduling conflicts."
The launch of Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been hindered by an Instagram copycat account selling "anti-monarchy" products. The account, @shopamericanrivieraorchard, has used the Duchess of Sussex's name and claims to be based in Montecito.

The copycat account has already garnered over 6,000 followers and is using Meghan's brand name to sell a small range of products with an anti-monarchy message. These products include a planner titled "RoyalWealth Reign: Empowering Women's Financial Sovereignty" and a booklet of colouring pages.

The homepage of the copycat account features a message referencing American Independence Day, July 4, 1776, and rejecting royal titles such as Prince, Princess, and Duchess. The message reads, "In America, we do not recognize a royal title by someone's name. In America, we believe ALL are created EQUAL. A royal title therefore has no significance. That is why the RoyalWealth Reign™ line was established to recognize and celebrate the working class who are the true heart of our country."

It's all about the jam.  Sure, we're all making fun of it, but is it actually a brilliant PR Stunt?

Who cares if it is - it's so much fun to ake fun of.

A look at who has gotten jam so far, and where they rank in Meghan's Top 50!

Meanwhile, this has spiked sales in The King's Jam!
