On March 14, 2020, the duke was photographed on a private jet at 6am saying to the camera: We leave Canada and head to Los Angeles. Shi! ”
He then panned over to Meghan, her mother Doria, her baby son Archie and their two dogs and said: “Grandma's here, Pula's here with a ball in her mouth.”
The Duchess turned to the camera and said: “Hello Archie, I'm on my way to visit my mum where she's from.”
The moment was aired on the couple's Netflix documentary series Harry & Meghan, marking the latest chapter in their lives as they settled their young family in the United States.
Since then, the Sussexes have signed various commercial deals with Netflix and Spotify, among others, in a bid to achieve financial independence.
But for Kate, American Riviera Orchard, which has been under construction for at least a year, is a way she hopes to ensure long-term success.
Interest in lifestyle
“A highly personal project that reflects her own tastes and lifestyle interests.
It's thought that if it takes off, that's likely to be her main focus in the long run.
Duchess Meghan closed her Instagram account when she got engaged to Prince Harry, and her @SussexRoyal page hasn't been updated since 2020.
In 2017, she also shut down The Tig, a successful lifestyle blog she ran for several years. She described the blog as “a hub for discerning palates hungry for food, travel, fashion and beauty.”
“It's not just a hobby, it's become a hugely successful business,” Duchess Kate said.
