Insights into Meghan Markle’s Upcoming Netflix Series
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex revealed their collaboration with Netflix to produce two non-fiction series. The first series will showcase Markle as she engages in cooking, gardening, and hosting. Produced in partnership with Sony Pictures Television and the creators of hit reality shows like Selena + Chef, The D’Amelio Show, and Chef’s Table, the series will be executive produced by Markle and Chanel Pysnik under Archewell Productions, the company founded by Harry and Meghan.
The second series will focus on Prince Harry, highlighting his equestrian expertise and passion for polo. Notably, Harry recently participated in a charity polo match to support his foundation, Sentebale, dedicated to aiding children and adults in Southern Africa. The series will capture behind-the-scenes moments at the U.S. Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, offering a glimpse into the world of competitive polo.
Before the release of both Netflix series, Markle will introduce her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Exploring Meghan Markle’s Lifestyle Brand: American Riviera Orchard
Earlier this year, Markle shared a sneak peek of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. While details remain scarce, a source revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that the collection reflects her passion for hosting, attention to detail, and appreciation for life’s simple joys. The line is expected to blend elements of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop and Cravings by Chrissy Teigen. Trademark filings suggest the range will include items like cookware, cutlery, jams, and edible oils.
The inspiration behind the brand’s name, American Riviera Orchard, is deeply personal. Markle and Prince Harry currently live in Santa Barbara, California, often referred to as the "American Riviera" due to its Mediterranean charm, scenic beaches, and understated luxury. The inclusion of "orchard" likely pays homage to their Montecito estate, which features one of the largest orchards in the Santa Barbara region.
