The recent activities of the British royal family, which is steeped in tradition, took an unexpected turn. Princess Kate competes against Meghan Markle in an unexpected arena: the kitchen, where private interests collide with public endeavours. The timing is intriguing as both high-profile undertakings and handmade crafts are in the spotlight. Curiosity is piqued by the prominence of sweet spreads and streaming initiatives. Is this truly a coincidence or royal rivalry? In any case, royal observers are watching closely.

As the royals trade crowns for cameras and canning jars, the two are competing for public attention in very different ways.

Meghan Markle is not the only royal with jam-making abilities! Princess Kate allegedly promised a teenage admirer her plum preserves recipe only days before Markle's upcoming Netflix debut in With Love, Meghan, as per Daily Mail. The chance of royal rivalry occurring in two quite different contexts has increased due to the timing of the large media campaigns and the homemade candies. The debate between recipes and releases is becoming more intense as the public becomes more aware.

Princess Kate, 43, pledged to teach young volunteers who grow their own fruit for jam-making her plum preserves recipe while visiting Wales. Meghan Markle, 43, on the other hand, originally introduced her signature strawberry jam through her luxury brand, American Riviera Orchard. Nearly a year later, she rebranded it as As Ever, keeping fruit preserves as a staple.

With both royal women being experts of the jam, this is not the first time the two have found themselves in an unspoken rivalry—history has seen them go head-to-head before. Back in Colombia, Markle and Prince Harry stole the spotlight from Princess Kate and Prince William.

Whether it was her Hollywood heritage or her excellent sense of style, Meghan Markle frequently provoked public controversy. But anytime Prince William and Princess Kate were mentioned, the similarities became more intense, sparking fan conflicts. Opinions changed in favor of Meghan Markle during the Sussexes' trip to Colombia when her fashion sense outstripped that of Princess Kate Middleton. After being chastised for her wardrobe choices while she was a senior royal, Meghan Markle eventually outperformed Princess Kate Middleton.

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton's footage was used to compare the couple during their time in Colombia, with many noting they appeared older than the Montecito royals. While the Sussexes were usually scrutinized, this time, Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton faced analysis. Experts examined their body language, sparking discussions about potential tensions. This shift in focus highlighted the evolving public perception of the royal couples, fueling debates about their appearances, relationships, and overall influence.
