Meghan Markle is set to launch a major charm offensive in the hope of rebuilding connections in Hollywood, an insider has claimed.
An insider told Closer Magazine a “lonely” Duchess of Sussex will plan to strengthen her friendships this festive season. They said: “Meghan has been meticulously curating gift packages filled with a selection of all her favourite things – and of course, plenty of her jam – to send to the who’s who of Hollywood.
“While there is no doubt it’s about promoting her American Riviera Orchard brand, it’s also about spreading goodwill and trying to remind people of her softer side. With Christmas around the corner, Meghan sees it as the perfect time to try to rebuild connections and is determined not to start 2025 surrounded by negativity.”
They added she has been feeling “increasingly lonely” and wants to concentrate on “strengthening friendships”.

Since the soft launch of her brand ‘American Riviera Orchard’, in March 2024, Meghan has sent samples in the form of jam to Hollywood’s biggest power players.
The insider said: “She’s sending them out to all her friends and acquaintances, and is willing to spend a fortune and a whole lot of time because she sees it as an investment in her relationships.”
However, as in many new businesses, the duchess’s launch has suffered many setbacks, with the latest one in September reportedly involving “irregularities” with its trademark and its registration to the US Patents and Trademarks Office – the agency responsible for granting US patents and registering trademarks.
