Meghan Markle – what’s really going on?

Meghan Markle was recently able to reveal her upcoming lifestyle brand.

Towards the end of February, it emerged that the 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex had applied for a patent on a wide range of products.

– Makes him very sad

Meghan Markle plans to follow in the footsteps of celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Kourtney Kardashian and Jessica Alba when she soon launches her new lifestyle brand, “American Riviera Orchard”.

And it seems Meghan Markle plans to try her hand at almost everything in lifestyle products.

Among other things, permission has been applied for to sell interior items, kitchen equipment such as carafes, napkin rings, cutlery, tablecloths and cookbooks.

American Riviera also plans to sell cosmetics, fragrances, stationery, wallpaper, yoga gear and garden equipment.

This is how they received the shock message

The list includes “non-medicated skin care, bath and shower gels and salts not intended for medical use, non-medicated hair products, bath creams,” and “body lotions, cosmetics, body oils, fragrance oils,” room fragrances, incense, and jewelry.

But it doesn’t stop there, because perhaps Markle also dreams of opening a small grocery store. The new brand also plans to sell jam, marmalade, fruit spreads, edible oils and fats, as well as vegetable-based spreads, legume-based spreads, nut-based spreads, garlic-based spreads, sesame-based spreads, dairy-based spreads, nut butters and fruit butters.

But when does something happen?

Now he wants to cut it open

The American press says that not much has happened so far, and we are no closer to seeing any kind of fully developed product.

The Sussex couple already have an active contract with Netflix.

On the official website, you can sign up for a waiting list for updates. And on the official Instagram profile, nine posts have been shared that together make up the company’s logo.

– Everyone is wondering about the American Riviera Orchard, says a source close to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, according to Page Six.

– Gwyneth (Paltrow) started by sending out a newsletter once a week, and it was very personal. But it was a very innovative idea at the time, and she didn’t make any money from the business for about seven years. The aim was to create a community and something of value, rather than being a business.

Therefore, there is a lot of speculation about how Markle intends to start selling her products.

The statement: Word for word

As of now, there are no investors officially associated with the project, although there have been rumors that Markle is collaborating with entrepreneur Adam Lilling. Moreover, it does not seem entirely easy for the Sussex couple to get people to bite the hook.

Markle is said to have had contact with rich people such as Ari Emmanuel and the founder of Flamingo Estate, Richard Christiansen.

– I know that Meghan has had many meetings with Richard, but nothing came of it, says the source.

Kept outside: – No trust

It’s also a little mysterious that the former “Suits” star hasn’t had any products ready for a mini-launch.

– Markle surely has some products ready soon, otherwise they wouldn’t have announced it. She would also like to have a holiday collection (Christmas, etc.) and she is getting a little late for that.

In June, it emerged that streaming giant Spotify had chosen to end its collaboration with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who had been hired for a staggering sum to create podcasts.

Meghan Markle managed to produce 12 episodes of her podcast “Archetypes”, which she allegedly earned NOK 170 million from.
