King Charles’s latest Highgrove product has hit the shelves just hours after rumours regarding Meghan Markle’s latest product sold under American Riviera Orchard were circulating online.

The King has launched his organic Highgrove Royal Estate Honey, which costs a whooping £25 for a 350g jar.

According to Highgrove, the latest and “beautifully delicate” honey from the monarch’s private estate is “ideal” for toasts and breakfast treats.

Produced by royal bees on the Highgrove Estate, the organic soft-set honey “makes a fantastic gift for food lovers with its distinctive lime flavour”.

The product’s description explained how the newest honey to be sold by Highgrove is produced from pollen collected by “the myriad of bees who all live in the exclusively commissioned traditional British double-walled beehives on the estate; each hive has its own specific design and took almost a year to construct by hand”.

It added: “The bees in the spring work the hedgerows of Highgrove Gardens and, in late June to early July, forage on the avenue of limes.”

Meanwhile, the launch follows reports that Meghan Markle is set to include rose wine in the list of products to be sold under her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

The Duchess of Sussex teased the launch of her latest business venture back in March, with only three products promoted since then – strawberry jam, raspberry jam, dog biscuits.

At the time of the strawberry jam’s reveal back in April, when Meghan sent 50 jars of it to various influencers online, King Charles’s sales for his own version of the product – his Highgrove Organic Strawberry Preserve – saw a huge boost, with the products getting sold out several times in a week.

The monarch sells a range of preserves and savouries through the Highgrove Shop – a place which includes gifts inspired by the King’s personal interests and his award-winning garden as well as royal memorabilia.

The money raised from the Highgrove shop goes to charity.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard product list is set to include a wide range of products including pet food, jams, dog shampoo, chicken feed and yoga bolsters.
