Netflix Surprises Employees with Complimentary Meghan Markle Jam, Report Reveals

Netflix’s Hollywood headquarters have reportedly become an unexpected storage space for unsold jam jars from Meghan Markle’s brand, much to the delight of staff members who are helping themselves to these complimentary goods.

According to Page Six, the company’s Hollywood campus, specifically the Icon Tower and Epic building, is housing not just jam jars but also an array of other products like candles, wine, and flower sprinkles. These items, all part of Markle’s “As Ever” line, are reportedly stashed in two full storage rooms.

A source revealed, “Apparently, there are two storage rooms packed with As Ever products,” noting that employees are taking advantage of the surplus. “They’re literally just giving it away to employees—one staffer left with 10 products at no cost,” the source added.

Another insider echoed this sentiment, affirming, “There’s so much overstock,” indicating the extent of the surplus that has led to this unexpected giveaway.

‘There’s so much overstock,’ confirmed a second source.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Meghan’s representatives for comment.

However, other sources claimed unsold As Ever inventory was moved from Netflix’s LA office to another warehouse ‘long ago’.

Any remaining stock is being used for ‘gifting, sampling, and promotional use,’ they said.

Meghan, 44, launched As Ever with Netflix in a collaboration that included two seasons – and a holiday special – of her lifestyle show, With Love. 

It comes after sources close to the duchess denied that business had slowed down amid claims that vast amounts of inventory remained unsold. 

Last month, internet sleuths discovered a glitch on As Ever’s website that revealed precise stock numbers for her ‘small-batch’ collection of spreads, honeys, candles, teas and wines.

For example, a total of 137,465 units of her signature Fruit Spread Box were available at the time, which Reddit users pounced on as a sign of declining sales. 

Sources later told The Sun that the amount was left over from an initial order of one million jars, adding that stock is ‘flying off the shelf’.

‘I think it’s fair to say business isn’t just successful, it’s flying off the shelf,’ a source said.

‘Meghan inadvertently revealed that one million jars were ordered for that one product, and has only 130,000 left.’

The website bug was first discovered by Reddit user InfiniteSky55, who said they tried to add 200,000 of each item to their shopping basket. 

Soon enough, other Redditors tried to verify these numbers themselves as screenshots posted online revealed more than 572,000 products in unsold stock, including spreads and tea items. 

A similar exploit for her wine venture revealed more than 70,000 bottles were sitting unsold, including almost 7,000 Bruts, 46,000 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc and nearly 24,000 bottles of Rose. 

Shortly after the post went viral, the As Ever website was amended to remove the exploit, with purchase limits put in place for goods.

Users can now only buy up to 50 spread gift boxes, or 20 bottles of wine. As Ever has not commented on the bug.

However, the duchess herself has previously said she’s increasing stock levels as she prepares to launch As Ever in other countries. 

Speaking to Bloomberg’s The Circuit, Meghan said she had put in a purchase order for a million jars to meet demand for her lifestyle products. 

‘It’s an incredible thing for any small business and any start-up,’ she reflected on As Ever’s first sell-out run. 

‘We prepped for the second seasonal drop and ten-exed (multiplied by a factor of 10) our inventory. We thought for sure it would at least last for a couple of weeks – that sold out in a couple of hours.

‘The conversation goes from at the start of this year talking about a few thousand jars and lids to, “we need to do a purchase order of a million”.’
