The Duchess of Sussex has teased the launch of her new food and lifestyle brand with an exclusive mailer to her nearest and dearest.

Yup, it looks like we'll be seeing more of Meghan Markle's brand, American Riviera Orchard, very soon – how exciting!

The lifestyle brand is named after the area in Santa Barbara she is from.

“Santa Barbara has been fondly referred to as ‘The American Riviera’ for more than a century because of its temperate climate and lush landscapes, as well as its robust food and wine culture," Travel + Leisure explained at the time she launched it.

While she hasn't revealed exactly what the new brand will focus on, The United States Patent and Trademark Office website gave us an idea.

It reported that the company is registered to sell a whole load of food, drink and lifestyle bits, including downloadable and printed recipe books, textiles, table wear, and condiments like marmalade and jam.

And what do you know... jam seems to be the first product to be unveiled, appearing in the mailer to Meghan's star-studded pals.

Fashion designer Tracy Robbins was one of the names to share a picture of the jam on Instagram, giving an insight into the Duchess' branding, and the new company as a whole.

The jam was labelled "17 of 50", suggesting that there were only a small handful of lucky recipients.

“Thank you for the delicious basket!" the designer wrote, alongside a picture of a basket of lemons and a jar of strawberry jam. "I absolutely love this jam so not sure I'm sharing with anyone." 

Argentine socialite Delfina Blaquier also received the mailer, simply writing: "Strawberry jam makes me happy."

Meghan is yet to release the jams to the public, but we'll keep our beady eyes out and let you know should that change!

It comes as the Duchess is also set to launch a cooking TV show on Netflix.

The series will also focus on other hobbies like "gardening, entertaining and friendship," according to Deadline. Intriguing, right?

So, what do we know about Meghan Markle's cooking and lifestyle show at the moment?

Well, it doesn't yet have a name, as it's still in early stages, with production only having begun in April.

We're pretty light on information about the format, too, other than the fact gardening and cooking will be involved, and we don't yet know when it's going to be released (but our guess is there will be a little wait, if it's in production ATM).

We can expect it to be decent when it does arrive, though, seeing as Deadline is reporting director Michael Steed is behind it, known from the likes of Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown.

Plus, Leah Hariton, the show-runner behind Selena Gomez's HBO cooking show, Selena + Chef will also be making an appearance on the show's stellar team.
