Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are set to make a series of “regal” appearances as she launches her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, sources have claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex announced the venture with a new Instagram account, which launched earlier this month, as well as a website which invites readers to input their email address to learn more. In a clip shared on the newly-launched account on social media, Markle can be seen walking through her Montecito mansion in a black ball gown, as well as cooking in her home kitchen.
According to Richard Eden, insiders have said Meghan will be joined by Prince Harry on a number of engagements to promote the new brand.
Sources previously told Page Six the new brand, which comes six years after Meghan closed her lifestyle blog The Tig to join the royal family, will focus on home, garden, food and general lifestyle wares.
Insiders claimed Meghan has been “working on this for over a year,” adding, “It’s all the things that are close to her heart—all the things she’s passionate about.”
While the details of the project may so far be limited, a trademark application by Page Six revealed it will sell a range of home goods including edible treats like jellies, jams and spreads.
Meanwhile the brand will also sell tableware staples such as cutlery, table linens, and drinkware. The filing also covers cookbooks.
According to MailOnline, the company launch will coincide with the launch of a new cookery show featuring the Duchess on Netflix—with whom she has a multimillion dollar deal. Insiders also said the brand would also, at some point, encompass “a book and blog etc.”
Earlier this week, it emerged Meghan had called in a top New York-based fashion photographer for a glamorous photoshoot of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
