A jam that Meghan Markle has released under her new brand, As Ever, is actually made 2,000 miles away from her Montecito mansion.The pricey preserve is said to be "inspired by the recipe Meghan crafted in her home kitchen" and an Instagram video shows a fruity mixture bubbling in a pot at the duchess' California property.

After weeks of speculation, sources close to the duchess have divulged that her As Ever products are manufactured by grocery store brand Republic of Tea, as a jam expert slams her fruit spreads for being too runny.

Meghan Markle's raspberry jam from her As Ever brand sold out upon release, but it has raised eyebrows over its mass production in Illinois.
