Meghan Markle has people whispering lies to her instead of pointing towards reality. Then again, any reason is suitable for a delusional celebration.
In March 2024, Meghan Markle officially separated from the monarchy for the second time. The former actress ended the era of selling family secrets.
Markle left Prince Harry alone on his truth-dropping journey and launched her company, American Riviera Orchard.
The Duchess of Sussex aimed to have the same meaningful impact in the marketplace as Gwyneth Paltrow, Martha Stewart, and Kourtney Kardashian.
American Riviera Orchard promised organic products, including jams, marmalade, oils, soaps, candles, and pet supplies. It has been months since the launch of the lifestyle brand, and Markle has little to show.
Many of Prince Harry and Markle’s loyal backers are flashing their credit cards, green dollars, and colorful euro bills to purchase anything from ARO.
But alas, nothing is yet available for sale. Potential clients eager to taste and try what Markle is selling have only seen cute pictures on social media of her sweet jams and yummy dog biscuits.
The rollout has been as slow as a snail, and ARO’s Instagram page is not attracting new followers. The promotion behind the brand needs to be revised. Markle is still seeking qualified, experienced staff to help navigate the ARO ship.
The birth of ARO led to personal drama. Prince Harry’s wife has been feuding with King Charles III over his and her strawberry jam.
She also lost Gwyneth Paltrow’s friendship and support in the process. ARO then brought some tears to Markle’s eyes due to heavy criticism.
Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror after the soft launch: “Meghan’s new internet brand, America Riviera Orchard, is the one fly in the ointment. Meghan was in tears when the brand launched, and her new jam was widely mocked for being expensive and nothing special.”
But for some delusional reason, The Duchess believes ARO is a success and is excitingly celebrating.
A source told Us Weekly: “The rollout for American Riviera Orchard is already off to a strong start. The website has over 100,000 people who have signed up to hear about the first products launched. Meghan is very pleased with the early interest it has gained.”
The insider stated: “[She] is so excited to see how people enjoy her products and use them in their everyday lives.”
Some see Markle’s celebration as nothing more than an empty ego trip.
