Yikes! Donna Collins Drags Meghan’s Apricot Spread — “Such a Missed Opportunity!”
It seems Meghan Markle’s foray into the gourmet lifestyle space isn’t quite bearing fruit — at least not for everyone.
In a now-viral food review, culinary critic and lifestyle expert Donna Collins didn’t hold back when sampling the Duchess of Sussex’s much-hyped apricot spread, launched under her new brand. While the product sold out within hours of release, Collins’ review has added a sour note to the buzz.

Ouch.
The spread, part of Meghan’s broader lifestyle brand rumored to include everything from cookbooks to home goods, has generated massive interest since its quiet launch. Fans praised the minimalist branding and handwritten note included in each order. But for some, style may have overshadowed substance.
Collins continued: “With her platform, Meghan could’ve spotlighted unique flavor pairings, bold ingredients, even social impact sourcing. Instead, we got… apricot.”
Despite the critique, loyal supporters have rallied behind the duchess, calling the product “elegant and refined” and urging critics to give the brand time to evolve.
Still, Collins’ take has sparked debate online, with some questioning whether the backlash is truly about jam — or about Meghan herself.
One commenter wrote: “Let’s be real, if this was Gwyneth or Martha, the media would be eating it up with a spoon.”
As for Meghan? No response yet from her team, but if there’s one thing we’ve learned — the Duchess always plays the long game. And in the world of lifestyle branding, the first spread is just the beginning.
