The Big Picture Move over Martha Stewart, America has a new lifestyle queen. Or Duchess, as it were. While the Royals across the pond have been busy embroiled in the scandal of Kate Middleton's "disappearance" after her recent abdominal surgery, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been working on a mystery of their own. On March 14, Meghan took to Instagram to announce the launch of her new lifestyle brand,American Riviera Orchard.
The brand's new Instagram page includes nine posts in total, all of which are displayed together to reveal the new logo, a crest stitched in golden embroidery, with the brand's name below in an elegant script. Everything so far has been deliberately vague regarding the roll-out. However, the over 500k followers that the brand has amassed in a few short days indicates many are eagerly waiting to hear more.
Meghan Markle to Be in a Rumored Unscripted Cooking Series While launching a brand of this scale is new for Meghan, the lifestyle space is familiar territory for the Suits actress. Before her engagement to Prince Harry, Meghan ran a popular lifestyle blog called The Tig, which was named after her favorite Italian wine, Tignanello. Her page was a personal reflection on things she had come to be passionate about, covering areas like food, fashion, culture, health, and wellness.
Following her involvement with the Royals, The Tig was shuttered indefinitely as Meghan began her new life as the Duchess of Sussex. Now her new chapter, with her family comfortably settled in California, will seemingly take her back to her lifestyle blogging roots. According to the trademark application filed back in February, American Riviera Orchard will feature tableware, place settings, cookbooks, recipe books, and a host of other kitchen and home-related items.
