Meghan Markle's pal Chrissy Teigen has become the latest celebrity to join the Duchess of Sussex's inner circle.
The pair worked as models together on Deal or No Deal and relied on each other for emotional support during tough times in their lives.
Their closeness was echoed on social media when Teigen and her husband John Legend, who live in Beverly Hills just a two-hour drive from Montecito, shared their joy at becoming the latest A-listers to receive jam from the Duchess of Sussex.
While others simply posted pictures of the jam on social media, the model tried the jam in a recipe on Instagram.

She claimed the meal was "one of the best bites we've had all year" and made them "happy" for the entire weekend.
Only 50 of Meghan's closest celebrity pals were sent a limited-edition jar of her jam as part of her "soft launch" to her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Teigen previously praised the royal for being "wonderful and so kind" by reaching out to her with a touching letter during a difficult time.
The model said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen After Show: "She's been so kind to me ever since we connected, she had written to me about baby Jack and loss.

"She is really wonderful and so kind, and just as kind as everyone says she is. She's a really wonderful girl."
It is thought that Teigen and Meghan's friendship grew after she and Prince Harry relocated to California.
In 2014, Teigen and Meghan were snapped alongside Nina Agdal and Shay Mitchell in New York City as they participated in the DirecTV Beach Bowl at Pier 40.
The two also previously worked together as models on the TV game show Deal or No Deal at the start of their careers, showing off briefcases containing prizes for contestants.
Speaking to You Magazine in 2018, Teigen said: "I am especially a fan of Meghan. I was on Deal or No Deal with her and she was lovely.
"Now everyone asks me what she was like and I say: 'Sorry, no dirt. She's gorgeous'."
Teigen was also asked about Meghan's explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
She told Andy Cohen: "I think when I ended up watching it, it was like: 'Holy s***, this is big'.

"But yeah, it is - I mean, very eye-opening. Very eye-opening."
When asked whether she had any "extra tea", Teigen replied: "Extra tea? Um, no. Honestly, no.
"She's been very open about what she's been open with, and I think honestly her truth has been her truth since the very beginning. So, no, I didn't get any extra extra."
