News about Abigail Spencer

The Duchess of Sussex was unable to fulfil her ambitions within the Royal Family . Now, she seems to be struggling to achieve them outside it as well. Meghan has failed to find a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for her new cooking and lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard, despite having interviewed several candidates for the position and having began the search five weeks ago. 'The initial CEO search has not panned out so far,' a California-based source said. And her apparent difficulties have led to an intriguing new development: Meghan has begun negotiations with Netflix about the American streaming giant entering into a commercial partnership with American Riviera Orchard.

Made from strawberries grown in her sun-drenched Californian garden, decanted into jars with handwritten labels, and delivered in bountiful presentation baskets to an elite group of friends and influencers, this is no ordinary jam. For almost two weeks now, the debut product from American Riviera Orchard, Meghan Markle 's elusive new lifestyle brand, has been making waves on social media. Jars have been appearing on the Instagram profiles of her nearest and dearest, including comedian Mindy Kaling , polo player Nacho Figueras and actress Abigail Spencer , who trilled 'This jam is my jam' - and draped herself over a jar for a fawning al fresco photoshoot. No, not names we would recognise here, but let's face it, we are not her target audience.

EXCLUSIVE: The Duchess of Sussex strategically sent out jars the strawberry preserve, made from fruit grown in the Californian enclave of Montecito, to a specially-selected group of friends and celebrities. Over the past week and a half, however, there have only been a trickle of posts, with just eight of the 50 'jamfluencers' sharing a snap of the product to fans on social media.

The Kardashian momager and reality TV star shared a snap of the pot nestled in a bowl of lemons alongside a handwritten letter, presumably from Meghan. Unlike some of the Duchesses' other friends, such as her Suits co-star Abigail Spencer , Jenner did not pose in an elaborate photoshoot alongside the item, but simply wrote 'thank you American Riviera Orchard' with a love heart emoji. The basket means that Kim Kardashian's mother is one of the 50 lucky celebrities and influencers to have been selected as part of Meghan's elite Montecito friendship group.

Some such as Netflix star Mindy Kaling , her Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and parenting campaigner Kelly McKee Zajfen took to social media, sharing pictures of the preserve nestled in a hamper. Others, such as actress and comedian Melissa McCarthy have spoken out to openly defend the Duchess, calling her 'inspiring' women suffering 'hate' for getting on with 'her own life'. Despite the beaming pictures and words of praise from some, others have been notably missing from the clamour surrounding Meghan's new business.

She's always been a safe harbour for me, someone I can fall apart in front of... and with. I have."
