Privacy NoticeMeghan Markle and Prince Harry have been living by their own rules since they stepped down from Royal duties in 2020 and relocated to the US. However, if Meghan was still a part of the Royal Family, she might have found herself in a bit of a pickle with the launch of her new luxury lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. This is because she’s using the Sussex name to promote her new venture. The Duchess unveiled her new lifestyle brand in March and has already amassed a large following on Instagram. Although the brand hasn’t started selling products yet, it plans to offer a wide range of items including household goods, cookware, pet products, gardening tools, beverages, food and condiments.

Meghan’s launch of American Riviera Orchard could potentially put her in hot water as Royal Family members are not allowed to advertise or associate themselves with brand partnerships and endorsements. The new venture also uses Meghan’s royal title of Duchess of Sussex, as seen in the brand’s Instagram bio, where it reads ‘by Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’. Earthweb privacy expert Trevor Cooke commented: “Members of the royal family must tread carefully on social media, balancing their personal interests with their responsibilities to the monarchy. Any misstep could have significant repercussions for their reputation and the institution they represent,” reports the Mirror.

Celebrity chef Martha Stewart is reportedly not pleased with being compared to Meghan Markle, finding it “irritating and insulting”. This comes after the Duchess of Sussex was said to have the potential to earn six-figure sales following the launch of her American Riviera Orchard project, drawing comparisons to the renowned chef. A source told In Touch: “Martha has seen hundreds of Meghan types come and go – and says they all come in with the same self-inflated hype, only to find out it’s a whole new ball game when it comes down to brass tacks.

“She’s tired of being quizzed by people over how she feels about Meghan’s venture because, honestly, it’s irritating and insulting to her that she’s being compared to a rookie! “. An insider also revealed that Martha has spent “decades building her brand”, adding: “If Meghan thinks she can come along and replicate that with barely any experience simply because she’s married to a prince, she better think again. “Martha doesn’t put a whole lot of faith in her succeeding, but if she does prove to be any competition, Martha won’t hold back in trying to take her down.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
