The Duchess of Sussex has sent out 50 jars of jam from the first batch, many of which have gone to her exclusive Montecito pals - but who is in the running for the top five jars? As Instagram posts trickle in showing the ruby-red jam set amid bright yellow lemons, fans are able to paint a picture of the type of customer Meghan wishes to appeal to - but which lucky people received the very first jars of the product?

Samantha Cohen (left, at Harry and Meghan's wedding and bottom right with the Queen and Meghan in 2018) served as Queen Elizabeth's press secretary for 17 years and then as her assistant and private secretary. She stepped away from working for the Royal household in 2019 after a stint as the private secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex - a job she took on at the request of the Queen. Ms Cohen resigned after being 'treated harshly' and likening the job to 'working with teenagers', according to historian Valentine Low in his book Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown. In an interview with Australian outlet the Herald Sun , she claimed that she stayed in her role three times as long as she had originally planned because officials struggled to find a replacement for her. When a new private secretary was found, they quit during Harry and Meghan's tour of Africa (top right) in 2019, Ms Cohen claimed. She said: 'I was only supposed to stay for six months but stayed for 18 - we couldn't find a replacement for me and when we did we took them on tour to Africa with Harry and Meghan to show them the ropes but they left as well while in Africa.'

Mr Harriman, a London-based photographer, talked to the panel about how the willow tree in the background of the portrait had been added to the picture later. The snap (left) was released in 2021 to announce Meghan's second pregnancy to the world, but the photographer captured it remotely due to the pandemic, according to the photographer. It came after friends of the Sussexes leapt into the social media storm that was unleashed after news organisations released a kill notice on the Princess of Wales' Mother's Day photo (right), which she later revealed had been edited.
