Meghan Markle has a new company, and fans will soon be able to take part in it. But what is it?
This spring, The soft-launch of Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand Unintentional overlap Kate Middleton's surprise appearance At Trooping the Colour.
The Duchess of Sussex had no control over this. However, she is very excited to launch her new products.
Introducing the American Riviera Orchard. (Listen up, King Charles!)
American Riviera Orchards is Meghan Markle's new company
Meghan Markle unofficially activated the brand Instagram on the page on March 15. At the time, she didn't share anything about the project — leaving fans to figure out what she's up to. Trademark Application for clues.
According to these documents, American Riviera Orchard will sell home goods such as home decor and kitchen accessories. This means decanters, napkin rings, utensils, table linens, and full-fledged cookbooks.
There are also edible items such as jams, marmalades, vegetable-based spreads, nut-based spreads, nut butters and fruit butters.
As you can see, Meghan Markle's new company's Instagram page currently has one of those seemingly mandatory composite image grids. Lots of companies use these designs when launching a company, especially before going live with actual products.
However, it seems that the name American Riviera Orchard is derived from Meghan and Harry's home in Santa Barbara. The neighborhoods around the coastal city are known as the American Riviera.
As for the “Orchard” part, it's a descriptive name that also refers to the amount of fruit included in the products, especially when it comes to jams, jellies, and preserves.
Meghan shares her new company's products with friends
As early as April, Meghan's friends — from athletes to fashion designers and more — began showing off American Riviera Orchard gift baskets on their Instagram Stories.
Notably, polo star Nacho Figueres – who is a close friend of Meghan and Harry – shared photos of his samples on June 14.
This incident happened a few hours ago Kate Middleton's royal style At Trooping the Colour, a silly British ceremony held on the birthday of the current monarch. The timing was right Clearly This isn't Meghan's job.
Remarkably, Figueres' Instagram The post also featured raspberry jam (apparently not the only such product) as well as some bone-shaped dog dishes.
It's unclear if American Riviera Orchard will include gifts for dogs in its offerings at launch. These could always be customized gifts for a friend.
But the trademark application also mentions dog food in addition to other pet supplies. So it seems this line of products is part of the plan.
Is Meghan Markle expecting support from King Charles?
According to a report OK! Magazine, Meghan Markle is expecting that his father-in-law would show his support for his new company.
“Meghan is looking for support from everywhere she can get it,” an insider claimed. “Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are at the top of her list, but she's looking even further afield and wants King Charles to give her seal of approval.”
The insider added: “Despite all the drama, Meghan doesn’t understand why she can’t get some support and backing.”
There's no evidence that Meghan is seeking royal backing for her new company — or that she's asking Harry to get in touch. But if they do, perhaps we'll be seeing American Riviera Orchard gift baskets among the British public in the near future.
