Meghan Markle's interesting jam admission leaves Girl Scout interviewer speechless
It's been a little over a year since Meghan Markle launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, with the debut collection famously selling out in under an hour.
The Duchess of Sussex stocks a whole bunch of food items on her As Ever website, including several spreads such as Blackberry Spread, Raspberry Spread, Orange Marmalade, Strawberry Spread and Lavender Honey, just to name a few.
The jams go for $12 a pop.
Given Meghan's passion for jam, royal fans will no doubt be keen to find out how she enjoys it - and it's not on toast.

On Thursday (6 August), the 45-year-old Suits alum appeared in a BuzzFeed Tasty YouTube video titled: "Can Meghan Markle Help Invent the Next Girl Scout Cookie?"
In the six-minute-long video, Meghan surprised a Girl Scout interviewer during a Q&A session by sharing how she eats her favourite Girl Scout cookies.
Meghan, who was joined by documentary filmmaker Alysa Nahmias, discussed their favourite cookie varieties before she revealed: "I like to dip them in jam."
Interview Shannon-Elizabeth clearly wasn't expecting the admission, telling the mum-of-two: "I've never heard someone do that!"
Explaining her eating preferences further, Meghan added: "Or sandwich them together with jam in between."
Innovative, if you ask us.
After catching light of the YouTube video, fans rushed to the comments to share their thoughts.
One social media user penned: "OK, I know that Megan is my spirit princess. I was a Girl Scout from Brownies to Seniors and my favourite cookies remain Trefoils. I’ve been using cookie butter to make a sandwich, but I might try some of my As Ever jam."
"Oooo great idea!" gushed a second. "I'm gonna try with my As Ever jam too! I have some strawberry, and my blackberry just got delivered!"
A third beamed: "Love Meghan! Good luck to those adorable Girl Scouts."
"Love seeing you and Harry doing great work, Meghan. My favourite royal couple," wrote another.
And a final social media user echoed: "We love Meghan Markle. Beautiful, brilliant, and elegant. Keep on shining, beautiful soul. Wonderful organisation."
Meghan is currently promoting Cookie Queens, a new coming-of-age documentary executive-produced by Meghan and her husband Prince Harry through Archewell Productions.
The official synopsis for Cookie Queens, which hits US theatres today (7 August), reads: "It’s Girl Scout Cookie season, and four tenacious girls strive to be a top-selling 'Cookie Queen', navigating an $800 million business in which innocence and ambition collide."
