A reality TV star among the select group of recipients of Meghan Markle’s jam previously mocked Kate and William for missing Lilibet’s first birthday.
Garcelle Beauvais, known for her stint on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has become the latest famous fance to join the exclusive ‘jamfluencer’ club alongside Chrissy Teigen, Heather Dorak, Tracy Robbins and Kris Jenner.
Garcelle, who lives in Northridge which is a 80-minute drive to Montecito, has previously spoken about the royal family feud and opened up about her thoughts on The Prince and Princess of Wales.
Garcelle said it was it was ‘shady’ for the future King and Queen to miss their niece Lilibet’s first birthday, which she celebrated at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor in 2022 during the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.
On the day, Wiliam and Kate were in Wales representing his late grandmother by overseeing concert rehearsals at Cardiff Castle, joined by Prince George and Princess Charlotte – who undertook their first official royal walkabout.

Meghan and Harry’s daughter celebrated her first birthday in Windsor and met her great-grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth, for the first time.
But William, Kate and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were absent.
The future King and Queen instead spent the day in Wales to meet people who were performing in a Jubilee event later that evening.
However, Garcelle said it was it was ‘shady’ for the future King and Queen to miss their niece’s birthday, despite being on official duty.
The 57-year-old said: ‘What’s going on is, “What a coincidence, we’re out of town, I’m washing my hair”. There’s a little shade there.’
When she was asked whether the scheduling could be a coincidence, Garcelle replied: ‘No. They can’t hold back the flight a couple of hours to meet Lilibet and Archie?’
The reality star has since proved her closeness to Meghan after she bagged herself jar number 15 of the royals’ American Riviera Orchard Jam, and uploaded a picture of the jar resting on a bunch of vibrant, yellow lemons.
She captioned the post ‘Sweetness’ with a lemon emoji and tagged the American Riviera Orchard Instagram.
Only 50 of Meghan’s closest celebrity pals got sent a limited edition jar of her jam as part of her ‘soft launch’ to the brand.
Meghan has long been a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and admitted her love for the show to the executive producer Andy Cohen on her podcast Archetypes.

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, even joked about not getting booked to go on his own show, Watch What Happens Live when she was an up and coming actress.
‘I was so eager to be on your show because I was such a Housewives fan at the time, and I just couldn’t get booked, Andy,’ she said.
The producer said that not having her on the set was ‘the biggest blunder in the 13 years of the show’.
And it seems Garcelle is just as much of a fan of Meghan. The pair crossed paths in November last year when they attended Variety’s Power of Women gala.
Garcelle asked the Duchess for a selfie and later bragged on stage: ‘I took a picture with Meghan Markle, so I can die now.’
In March, Meghan announced her new business venture with an Instagram teaser video, showing the Duchess cooking and arranging white hydrangeas and roses, posted to the new American Riviera Orchard Instagram account.
The brief vintage-style footage was set to Nancy Wilson’s I Wish You Love and closed with the brand’s logo, American Riviera Orchard, written in fine gold script above the word Montecito – the celebrity enclave where the Duke and Duchess live.

Little information has been released about Meghan’s new project but a trademark application filed in February shows the company wishes to offer downloadable and printed recipe books, table wear, textiles, and jams and marmalades, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office website.
Heather Dorak posted a picture on Instagram today of her two sons Noah and Cody eating the limited edition treat on toast, saying it was ‘kid tested’ and ‘mother approved’.
The Pilates Platinum owner also revealed her jam was numbered ‘7 out of 50’, as she became the tenth person to be identified as one of Meghan’s ‘jamfluencers’.
Dorak wrote in the accompanying caption: ‘Kid tested, mother approved! Thank you for the tasty homemade jam @AmericanRivieraOrchard. Love you, M!’
