Meghan Markle is bouncing from one project to the next.

On April 12, the Duchess of Sussex cheered on hubby Prince Harry at a polo match for his Sentebale charity in Wellington.

Netflix cameras were rolling on the sidelines at the Grand Champions

Polo Club for an upcoming documentar­y that she and Harry are producing about the sport.

On April 15, the mother of two was back to the grind, kicking off the launch of the first product from her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.

Meghan’s close friend, the model Delfina Blacquier, shared a sneak peek on her Instagram Stories.

“Strawberry jam makes me happy,” wrote Blacquier, who is married to Harry’s pal, the polo king Nacho Figueras.

They own a condo in Wellington.

Blacquier’s picture showed a jar covered with a fabric lid; a label bears the logo, the brand’s name written in gold calligraph­y. Beneath the logo reads

“10 of 50,” indicating the stuff is made in small batches.

Meghan, 42, announced her new venture, based in Montecito, California, last month.

The Insta account already has close to 600,000 followers, even though nothing is actually for sale — yet.

A trademark applicatio­n filed in February shows that the ARO product line might also include such home items as dinnerware, tablecloth­s and napkin rings.
