Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has been making waves in the celebrity world with her new venture, American Riviera Orchard. The Duchess has been gifting luxury jam and dog biscuits to her famous friends, including Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling, and Chrissy Teigen, who have all excitedly shared about joining Meghan’s ‘jam club’ on social media. The Duchess has also partnered with Netflix to produce a cooking show that will showcase her passions for cooking, gardening, and entertaining.
The upcoming Netflix series, produced by Sony Pictures Television’s ‘The Intellectual Property Corporation’, will highlight Meghan’s expertise as a hostess and feature cameos from famous faces. Filming has already taken place at various locations, including a luxurious estate surrounded by avocado and lemon trees.
However, the launch of American Riviera Orchard has hit some bumps in the road. The US Patents and Trademarks Office issued Notices of Irregularities on the trademark applications, which must be corrected before the brand can be fully launched next year. Additionally, a protest has been lodged by Harry & David, the owner of the trademark ‘Royal Riviera’, citing a ‘likelihood of confusion’ between the two brands.
Despite these setbacks, Meghan’s lifestyle brand is eagerly awaited by fans and is sure to make a splash in the market once these issues are resolved. Stay tuned for more updates on Meghan Markle’s exciting new venture, American Riviera Orchard.
