Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has made a triumphant return to social media with a brand-new project!
She recently launched American Riviera Orchard, a lifestyle brand that seems to capture the essence of her life in Santa Barbara, California. Here are the exciting details:
- American Riviera Orchard: The brand’s name pays homage to Santa Barbara, known as the “American Riviera” for its temperate climate, lush landscapes, and vibrant food and wine culture. Meghan resides in this picturesque town with her husband, Prince Harry, and their two adorable children, 4-year-old Prince Archie and 2-year-old Princess Lilibet.
- Instagram Debut: Meghan’s new venture made its grand entrance on Instagram with a bio that simply states, “By Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Established 2024.” The first Instagram Story features Meghan picking flowers and cooking in a kitchen, set to the soothing tune of “I Wish You Love” by Nancy Wilson.
- The Logo: The brand’s logo includes a nod to their neighborhood, Montecito, where Meghan and Harry reside. It’s a delightful blend of elegance and California charm.
- What’s on the Menu?: American Riviera Orchard plans to offer an array of delightful products, including:
- Tableware
- Drinkware (including decanters)
- Kitchen linens
- Edible treats like jellies, jams, marmalade, and spreads
- Cookbooks (pending approval)
- The Tig Vibes: If you remember Meghan’s beloved lifestyle blog, The Tig, you’ll find similarities here. The waitlist signup promises updates on products and availability, reminiscent of the community Meghan fostered through her blog. The Tig, which she started in 2014, was a place where she shared food discoveries, travel experiences, and personal reflections.
- Social Media Comeback: This marks Meghan’s return to social media after a hiatus. She and Prince Harry stepped back from their @SussexRoyal Instagram account in 2020. Now, with American Riviera Orchard, Meghan is back in the digital spotlight, sharing her passion for life, style, and all things delightful.
