Not everyone is a fan of Meghan - or her jams - but it seems there could be a career boost on the cards for those sceptics who see the light.
Influencer Amanda Hirsch, who gushed over Meghan's 'As ever' jam, has just been signed up by talent agency William Morris Endeavor (WME), which also looks after... The Duchess of Sussex.
Hirsch, a former actress, who runs the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, said in a social media post in January that she was 'scared' about Meghan's Netflix lifestyle show With Love, Meghan, because the Duchess seemed 'inauthentic'.
She was then completely amazed to be sent a hand-written letter by Meghan telling her not to worry, which she shared swooningly on social media, declaring herself bowled over by the response, and writing: 'Oh my Duchess!'
The letter, all written in painstaking calligraphy, ran: 'Dear Amanda, I heard you were feeling scared. Don't be, this is the fun part. Let's enjoy it!'
Last week, Hirsch's deal with WME was announced -- and, two days later, she got a package of jam and tea from Meghan, prompting unbounded joy.
She posted to her 900,000 Instagram followers: 'First a letter now her jam!!! Are we gonna be bffs? Should I buy a one way to Montecito???'
Hirsch has interviewed celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham on her weekly podcasts about the entertainment industry, which has a million followers.

Amanda Hirsch (L) has interviewed celebrities including Kim Kardashian (R) and Brooklyn Peltz Beckham on her weekly podcasts about the entertainment industry, which has a million followers.
Meghan has a team at WME, but is on the roster of Ari Emanuel, a Hollywood kingmaker with a fearsome reputation. He is the agent of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds and said in an interview that the agency had been happy to drop Justin Baldoni in December, the director and co-star whom Lively had accused of sexual harassment.
Noting his loyalty to his key clients, Emanuel referred to Baldoni as 'Bologna', adding: 'I've known Ryan and Blake for over a decade. They're really incredible people. In Hollywood, they have been incredibly successful. People work with them they've never had any bad mojo out there or treated people badly.'
Hirsch - who recently had Reynolds as a guest on her podcast - was only one of a handful influencers to be sent a crated and ribboned collection of all of Meghan's merchandise upon its launch.
Stars including tennis champion Serena Williams, reality TV mogul Kris Jenner and actress Zoe Saldana all shared social media posts featuring their gifted baskets - the products all sold out within an hour of the website going live.
One recipient, influencer and CEO Akilah Releford Gould, who sells a zero carb zero sugar Lucky Girl rose and lives on a ranch, said on TikTok that she was sending a basket back to Meghan which included her wine, some honey, sourdough bread, citrus and strawberry sugars, granola, lavender and lavender spray and her own dried flowers, all from her ranch in California, plus a huge armful of white lilac blossoms.
Some commenting thought that Releford Gould - who says she wants to be 'the black Gwyneth Paltrow' was trolling the Duchess with her plentiful and superior produce.
Reactions to Meghan's produce have been mixed. The jam has been called 'runnier than a three year-old's nose' and the biscuit mix is said to have 'the texture and taste of a hockey puck', but the verdict from those gifted her small range of teas, plus a jam, honey, biscuit and crepe mix has been universally ecstatic.
Meghan's first podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, aired this week. Despite considerable media interest and the revelation about her postpartum pre-eclampsia, it is sitting at a modest no 24 in the Spotify charts.
