What Does Meghan Markle’s New Brand ‘American Riviera Orchard’ Offer?
After Meghan Markle got engaged to Prince Harry, her popular lifestyle blog and Instagram page was closed down in 2018. The Duchess has since never been seen on screen, either through films, TV shows or social media. However, as the couple stepped down from their royal duties much after the birth of their second child, Markle is now seemingly ready to get back to her job again.
The 42-year-old Duchess of Sussex is making waves with her latest project ‘American Riviera Orchard’ that has left fans buzzing with anticipation. The Duchess recently unveiled a new website and Instagram page for American Riviera Orchard, hinting at what appears to be a lifestyle brand. While details remain sparse, a peek into the official trademark application offers a glimpse into what might be in store.
The trademark application, filed on February 2 currently awaits review by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It lists down a wide array of goods and services like table cutlery, downloadable and printed cookbooks and recipe books, coffee and tea services in the nature of tableware, servingware, decanters, dinnerware, chargers, napkin rings, table place card holders, beverageware, textile tablecloths, placemats and napkins, kitchen and table linens, gift wrap of fabric — plus food!
Interestingly, retail store services and online retail options are also mentioned, suggesting the possibility of brick-and-mortar stores in addition to an online presence.

While further specifics about the project ‘American Riviera Orchard’ remain under wraps, the name itself offers a nod to the couple’s roots in Santa Barbara, California, where they stay with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Known as the ‘American Riviera’ for its scenic beauty and vibrant culture, Santa Barbara seems to be the inspiration for the venture.

With Meghan’s passion for food, travel, and lifestyle evident in the past, fans are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of what promises to be an exciting new chapter in her journey.
