In the debut of her Netflix cooking show, "With Love, Meghan," Duchess Meghan Markle shared a humorous anecdote about her homemade jam gifts. She revealed that 50 friends received her preserves last summer, but the labeling caused confusion and feelings of hierarchy among recipients. Mindy Kaling, a guest on the show, expressed her surprise over her numbered jar, leading to humorous jealousy among friends. Markle explained the numbering wasn't intended to rank friendships; she simply wished to share her creations, noting she reserved the first jar for her mother.
"When I received a box of your preserves in the mail, it was probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life... but then, I looked at the label and it said there were like 50, and then I, of course, as a very hierarchical person, was like, 'Who are these other people? Does having a lower number make me more special?'"
"I did not think about it. It was not a ranking. It was just, 'Let me share them.' And then people started to take it very personally."
"I did save 1 of 50 for my mom. Felt like the right thing to do."
