On Thursday’s (February 27) episode of Lorraine, the ITV host spoke with Royal correspondent Russell Myers and broadcaster Sonali Shah to discuss the latest Royal updates. However, it wasn’t long before the chat turned to the reported rift between Kate and Meghan after the Princess of Wales pledged to share her plum jam recipe with young gardeners during a visit to Meadow Street Community Garden on Wednesday. This comes after Meghan’s recent venture into the preserve market, where she has been distributing homemade jam under her American Riviera Orchard brand – now renamed As Ever. However, fans have speculated that the two are engaged in a “jam war.”

Sharing his thoughts, Russell said: “From the sublime to the ridiculous in this job… Apparently, the Duchesses and the Princesses are at war over preserves,” reports Bristol Live. He went on to say, “The Princess of Wales was with Prince William yesterday in Pontypridd in Wales and visiting locals who have had a pretty tough time in recent months. “She was interacting with some local school kids, and they were discussing their cooking lessons, and she said, ‘I’m going to send you my recipe for plum jam,’ and of course, everyone has lost their minds over this because [Kate and Meghan] must be at war.” Lorraine didn’t mince her words, commenting, “It is silly, isn’t it?”.

She continued: “Do you not think surely it has to stop quite soon. Every time Meghan does something or Catherine does something, there’s always people who want to see a clash, even when there isn’t one.” Russell confessed his surprise at the intense “tribal” divide among fans of the two families but noted that the fervour has “died down” recently. Sonali chimed in on the topic of women being pitted against each other, stating: “They can both have their jam. What’s interesting is we’re waiting for Meghan’s jam, and in the meantime, this has just happened.” She concluded with a supportive note: “You can just go out there and put it out there and not have to, sort of, pre-launch anything. We wish them both success.” Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1 at 9am
