Meghan Markle has launched American Riviera Orchard but the Duchess of Sussex has received furious criticism from many over the timing of the announcement. Meghan Markle has been tipped to make “six figures” within a matter of weeks of launching her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard. Brand expert Hayley Knight believes the Duchess of Sussex even has a chance of amassing huge financial success in the first week if her new business venture takes off around the world.
She told the Daily Mail’s Femail: “Meghan will certainly see success quickly once the store is launched. “We have seen with previous celebrity launches, that the demand is incredibly high, and products sell quickly.” “I can’t imagine Meghan will make less than six figures within the first few weeks of opening, if not in the first week if the company sells globally.” The newly launched brand will have items for the home, cookbooks, and food.
Meghan has surprised everyone by launching her new brand, which some say is like Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop. She did this on Thursday – the same day Princes William and her husband Harry spoke separately at the Diana Legacy Awards in London. Just before the Duke of Sussex gave a heartfelt speech about his mum via video link from the US, Meghan shared her American Riviera Orchard brand on Instagram. William was there in person for the awards, but Harry spoke through a video after his brother had left.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believes the timing of Megha’s new business venture launch was entirely intentional. He told The Sun: “The timing simply means that obviously (yesterday would have got them) a lot of promotion. Obviously, so, it’s obvious why they chose this time. “As far as the timing is concerned it’s perfectly obvious why the Sussexes have done this – they always plan pretty meticulously. There’s no doubt that they never do anything accidentally.”
