Meghan Markle’s controversial new brand a ‘subtle snub to the Royal Family’
Meghan Markle continues to make waves with her latest venture, American Riviera Orchard, as some belive it may exacerbate tensions with the Royal Family.
Royal expert Ronn Torossian, founder and chairman of 5WPR, weighed in on the significance of Meghan’s brand choice, describing it as a subtle snub to the British Royals.
Speaking to Daily Express US, he claimed: “Her new project is very American branded, it diminishes the image of the British Royals. She has a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard – not the British Riviera Orchard, it tells you in a sense that there is a link to her status as a California resident.
She prefers the California Riviera to the European coastlines,” he added, claiming the move was a “slight” to the Royal Family.
The unveiling of American Riviera Orchard was marked by a video shared on Instagram, featuring Meghan showcasing her culinary skills in a picturesque kitchen adorned with white and pink flowers.
Despite initial controversy surrounding the timing of the launch, coinciding with Prince Harry’s virtual appearance at the Diana Awards, American Riviera Orchard aims to carve out a significant presence in the lifestyle industry.
While this new venture has sparked debate and speculation, it remains to be seen how it will impact her relationship with the Royal Family.
