Meghan Markle Unveils Lifestyle Brand ‘American Riviera Orchard’

Meghan Markle made headlines on Thursday as she introduced her latest venture, the lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.

The announcement was preceded by mysterious posts on a new Instagram account and a teaser video, hinting at what was to come with the launch of a enigmatic website.

This move signifies Meghan's return to her roots before her time in the Royal spotlight, as she builds upon her previous venture, The Tig, a lifestyle blog.

Insiders familiar with the situation, speaking to Page Six Style, disclosed that the brand will focus on areas such as home, garden, food, and various lifestyle products.

Sources close to the industry have shared that Meghan has devoted over a year to crafting the brand, incorporating elements that deeply resonate with her personal interests and passions.

Page Six Style uncovered a trademark application indicating that American Riviera Orchard will offer a diverse array of home goods, including delectable treats like jellies, jams, and spreads, alongside essential tableware items such as cutlery, linens, and drinkware.

The application also includes the mention of cookbooks as part of the brand's offerings.

In addition to the brand launch, Meghan is reportedly gearing up to unveil a lifestyle and food-focused show on Netflix, with aspirations to follow in the footsteps of renowned figures like Martha Stewart.

Before her time with Prince Harry, Meghan curated a lifestyle blog named The Tig, where she shared valuable recipes and insights on fashion and travel.

One notable recipe she featured was a grilled shrimp Caesar salad, which she demonstrated on the grill, even grilling the romaine lettuce.

Meghan showcased this recipe on the Today show on NBC in 2016, describing it as remarkably simple.

The former host of the show, Matt Law, introduced Meghan by highlighting the uniqueness of grilling a salad, a concept not commonly associated with traditional grilling practices.

Rumors have surfaced suggesting an alleged relationship between Meghan and Matt Law, with author Kirby Summers raising questions about their interactions.

Reports from the National Enquirer claim that Meghan was caught in a discreet dressing room encounter with the disgraced American TV host following an appearance on the Today show prior to her relationship with Prince Harry.

Speculations suggest that there was more than just friendly banter between them, with sources alleging secretive meetings and flirtatious behavior off-camera.

Despite the swirling rumors, no official statements have been made regarding the nature of Meghan and Matt's relationship.

Meghan's appearances on Today as a fashion expert to promote The Tig before her royal connection have sparked further discussions about her interactions with Matt Law.

Sources have hinted at a strong chemistry between the two, with claims of flirtatious exchanges and special treatment from Matt towards Meghan.

It is suggested that Matt played a significant role in featuring Meghan on the show, possibly due to his desire to collaborate with her on various segments.

The dynamics of their relationship off-camera remain a topic of intrigue and speculation, adding a layer of complexity to Meghan's journey beyond the royal realm.
