American Riviera Orchard and Meghan Markle

[Anonymous]

With a brand name like “American riviera orchard, by the Duchess of Sussex”, it’s like her advisors hate her too.

The logo and name are so bad that it suggests Meghan will not hire let alone listen to actual professionals.

I think she's missing the boat by not focusing on fashion. I couldn't care less about homemaking.

I'm sure she had the final say but it would be foolish to launch a brand without using professional marketers.

Meghan The Duchess of Sussex

Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex is a feminist and champion of human rights and gender equity. Her lifelong advocacy for women and girls remains a constant thread in her humanitarian and business ventures. She has been named one of the most influential women in the world in rankings including TIME Magazine’s Most Influential People, The Financial Times’ 25 Most Influential Women, Variety Power of Women, and British Vogue’s Vogue 25.

Her advocacy work on resilience, equality, and compassion through action has been recognized – alongside that of her husband, Prince Harry – with the NAACP President’s Award as well as the Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award.

Born and raised in Southern California, Meghan attended Los Angeles based all-girls Catholic School, Immaculate Heart, which she continues to support as an alumna, before moving to Chicago to attend Northwestern University. While there, she double majored in Theater and International Relations, and went on to intern at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as to study abroad in Madrid, Spain.

After graduation, Meghan turned her focus to the entertainment industry, later securing a lead role on the hit series, ‘Suits’ which she starred in for seven seasons. Between filming, Meghan travelled to Rwanda, India, and other countries to support humanitarian missions. She served in key roles such as: UN Women’s Advocate for Women’s Political Participation and Leadership, a World Vision Global Ambassador, and a leading Counsellor to One Young World. Meghan also travelled to support the military community on a USO Tour, visiting six military bases in seven days including Bagram, Afghanistan.

In 2018, Meghan married Prince Harry, becoming The Duchess of Sussex.

She has written for a number of publications and created the lifestyle website, ‘The Tig’. The Duchess of Sussex guest edited British Vogue in July 2019, which was the fastest selling copy in the magazine’s history.

She and Prince Harry founded The Archewell Foundation in 2020 to support communities in need, in both moments of crisis as well as for long term aid. At The Archewell Foundation, they are committed to their mission: Show Up, Do Good. They hold the value that charitable work should not simply be ‘a handout, but rather a hand held’, a phrase Meghan first adopted in supporting UK charity Smart Works, of which she is patron, that supports women to enter the workforce. Meghan and her husband also founded and oversee the production company, Archewell Productions.

In 2022, Meghan launched ‘Archetypes’, a record-breaking podcast exploring the labels that hold women back. ‘Archetypes’ debuted at Number 1 in The US, UK, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand, and topped the charts as the Number 1 podcast in 47 countries. After its first season, Archetypes was awarded The People’s Choice Award in the podcast category, as well as The Gracie Award for Best Podcast.

She is a NY Times Best Selling author, publishing the acclaimed children’s book, ‘The Bench’, and ‘Together: Our Community Kitchen’ a collaborative publication with the women of the Hubb Community Kitchen in the UK, who were displaced after the tragic Grenfell Fire. The book debuted as number one on the UK’s Sunday Times Booklist, with proceeds going to The Hubb Kitchen.

Meghan is a major advocate for mental health, family care, and gender equity. The Duchess hopes to be a cultural catalyst for positive change, reflecting her core belief that representation matters, and that communities can be enhanced through learning, healing, and inspirational support.

Meghan lives in California with her husband and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

She barely mentions the acting.

Meghan Markle "hard launched" this business venture. She's taking sole possession of the success or failure of it. Even looking past the duchess title and the strange coroporate mongram, I will give her credit if she works hard and this becomes a success despite setbacks. But if this brand flops, I'll be interested to hear the spin. Best guess is that she'll have sources say this was always meant to be a short-term, pop-up business to showcase local growers and artisans, and she'll be on to the next form of "authentic storytelling."

She needs a replacement for the Sussex Royal. That was supposed to be a brand for both of them to sell themselves and their products. This is just for Meghan.

Her star may rise if RFK Jr. gets traction in his bid for the presidency.

A true Jack (or Jill) of all trades. And master of none.

There is nothing to her. Nothing. People with massive insecurities or actual reading comp issues read her haphazardly constructed statements and have a positive reaction. It is telling and embarrassing to be snowed by such a cut-rate bullshitter.

^ Harry and Meghan are 'downgraded' on the official Buckingham Palace website: Sussexes' 4,000-word individual profiles vanish entirely... before being replaced by 500-word joint section alongside Prince Andrew - Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been demoted on the Royal's website

[Anonymous]

That should have happened a long time ago, both for them and Andrew. Maybe the launch of ARO was a catalyst for that change.

^^Or vice versa.
