American Riviera Orchards. Is this the What Three Words address of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's grand Montecito mansion?
I checked and unfortunately it wasn't the case. But that's the name of the duchess' new lifestyle brand, which launched on Thursday with a stylish Instagram reel featuring a regal crest and swirly calligraphy.
Shabby pink and white flowers and a whimsical soundtrack accompany atmospheric soft-focus shots of the Duchess hard at work in a white tank top in an elegant, earth-toned kitchen (this is our Duchess) ), you can finally get a glimpse of her appearance. She looked effortlessly regal in a full-length gown. like you. Moving on from Nigella Lawson, there's a new domestic goddess in town.
The name is a bit puzzling. Blue Ivy (Beyoncé), Daisy Dove Bloom (Katy Perry), Bluebell Madonna (Jerry Halliwell) sound like the kind of outrageous nicknames a pop star would give their child, but that's not it. doesn't matter. It's Meghan's baby, so you can call it whatever you want.

Meghan launched her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, on Thursday.
For the time being, I don't think her idea is bad. It's certainly one of her better ventures these days. Ever since the Duchess left the UK, she and Prince Harry have been obsessed with taking revenge on the people of their homeland and can't seem to move on.
They become the right pair of trolls, too obsessed with what they leave behind to see what lies ahead, too busy thinking about the past to build some sort of future. I can't get started.
This new venture is clearly a welcome break from the negative and extremely harmful mindset, and the Meghan Markle of old we all rather preferred, sassy, stylish and independent in killer heels. It feels like a return to a woman and her career. Own.
Before she met her prince, she started her own lifestyle blog, The Tig, and she was actually pretty good at it. She certainly looked a lot happier than she does working as a royal.
So why not? Why not go back to her roots, add a few more strings to the ribbon, and pick up right where you left off, especially with just a swirly title and princely accessories? From her dry and divine podcast It's also a lot more fun, and certainly less boring for everyone involved than moaning endlessly about microaggressions.
Besides, someone has to pay for their expensive lifestyle in California, and since Prince Harry's exact skill set is still unclear, someone has to keep the family on private jets. With a Netflix tie-in cooking show and various commercial spin-offs, this could finally be the new payday the Sussexes have been waiting for.

Viewers will be especially happy to know they can buy their own cake that reflects the Sussex lifestyle. “Meghan plans to manufacture and sell products such as jam.'' “And someday a book or a blog or something will be published.” You can't expect much more than that. Everything is jam and there is no Jerusalem. It's what she always wanted.
Of course, there are questions about abusing her royal title. And, certainly, there are inevitably aspects of such a commercial endeavor that feel a little dirty in that regard. But we must not let the best be the enemy of the good. I'd rather she use her royal connections to shred her cabbage than her home country's royal reputation.
But if this is successful, she won't have the time, inclination, or need to do that anymore, and that can only be a good thing. She'll finally be a meaningful presence on her own – and that's all she's ever wanted.
To be honest, this is where Meghan always ended up. She was never cut out for her royal life. It was too selfless, too restrictive, and too unrewarding for a hothouse flower like her.
This way, she could finally be the star of her own show, doing what she enjoys, which is telling people how they can be like her, and living the luxurious life she loves. You can further fund your style.
Good luck to her, I say.
