American Riviera Orchard is the name of the lifestyle brand that Prince Harry and Meghan announced. The new project is causing whispers in California: Does Meghan want to become the new Martha Stewart? What Netflix could have to do with it.
An opulent lettering and a short clip that shows Meghan standing in a kitchen and wearing a black ball gown: Not much more is officially known since Prince Harry’s wife announced her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard on Instagram a good two weeks ago has. However, if you take a look at the product list that Meghan submitted to the US patent office, it becomes clear: she seems to be planning a real lifestyle empire.
In addition to household goods such as dishes, kitchen towels and cloth napkins, there will also be food products such as honey, chutneys, jams and pastes. Meghan even wants to sell ketchup with her brand, as well as scented candles, vases and storage jars. There are also bed linen, towels and beauty products such as soaps and creams. Another segment will focus on pets. Meghan apparently has plans for everything from dog leashes to bird seed. In California, the new project is causing a lot of whispering: When will the whole thing actually come and who will pay for it? As “Page Six” reports, Harry and Meghan are said to have not yet hired any employees for the project and there is no timetable yet.
Will Meghan get her own lifestyle show?
This causes dissatisfaction: “They always announce things very early… but why?” said an insider. US venture capitalist Adam Lilling is said to be investing in American Riviera Orchard, according to Page Six. He is known in Hollywood for his deals and has already been spotted with Harry and Meghan. Meghan is said to see Gwyneth Paltrow as a role model, who has run a successful company with her luxury lifestyle brand Goop for over 15 years. But insiders suspect that Meghan even wants to position herself as the new Martha Stewart: her pending Netflix project is said to be connected to American Riviera Orchard. The 42-year-old could get her own cooking show or decoration program, similar to Stewart.
In any case, the plans suit Meghan: Before her engagement to Prince Harry, she was already running her lifestyle blog “The Tig”, which covered recipes, travel and fashion. And when she was still serving with Harry at the British court, she collected donations for the victims of a major fire in London with a cookbook.
