Meghan Markleis launching her new lifestyle brand, and it looks like she has some ideas about what she wants to do with it… including potentially selling a variety of products.
The Duchess of Sussex’s company applied to secure the rights to something called American Riviera Orchard in early February — which she officially announced online Thursday — by submitting trademark applications in several different categories.
Among the items she could end up selling in the new venture — that is, assuming the trademarks are approved — are cookbooks, tableware, coffee and tea sets, jellies, jams, table linens, cookbooks, cutlery, cutlery, folders of all types. … and much more.
It looks like she’s hoping things move well in that direction… because, as we said, she just launched the ARO website and an Instagram page dedicated to the new venture.
Until now, the Instagram page only shows the company logo… but a short clip on the page’s story shows Markle cooking while Nancy Wilson‘I Wish You Love’ plays over it. The page already has 199,000 followers, in fact – it’s safe to say that people are very excited about whatever Markle has in store.
While it’s unclear exactly what MM plans to do with the new site, many fans online are speculating that it will be an updated version of The Tig – Markle’s lifestyle blog before she got married. Prince Harry.
Tig also featured recipes, personal essays and advice from Markle that could factor into American Riviera Orchard’s offerings. We guess we’ll have to wait and see—Meg hasn’t announced when she’ll pull back the curtain, but there is a waiting list Open.
After the royal couple’s somewhat turbulent year in 2023 – including a Spotify deal that fell through it is a rumors of partnership with Dior this never came to fruition – it seems that Meg is going back to the basics and roots of her lifestyle.
Time will tell if this Orchard bears fruit.
