Meghan Markle Will Officially Launch New Lifestyle Brand American Riviera Orchard This Spring

A source told PEOPLE that the venture “will reflect everything that she loves — family, cooking, entertaining and home décor”

The Duchess of Sussex, 42, will officially launch her new lifestyle brand later this spring, PEOPLE understands. Meghan unveiled American Riviera Orchard’s website and Instagram account on March 14.

The update follows Meghan and Prince Harry’s announcement on April 11 regarding two new nonfiction series in development at Netflix through their Archewell Productions hub, Deadline reports. These shows, which are part of their ongoing multi-year deal with the streaming platform, will focus on the individual passions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

A series curated by Meghan will highlight the fun of cooking, gardening, entertaining and friendship, and see her serve as an executive producer. The series will be produced by The Intellectual Property Corporation, part of Sony Pictures Television, under showrunner Leah Hariton, who produced Selena Gomez’s cooking series Selena + Chef, which first aired on MAX.

Meanwhile, a second Netflix project will take viewers into the world of professional polo — a longtime love of Harry, 39. The program will be shot primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida at the The USPA National Polo Center, and capture the dedication necessary to succeed in the equestrian sport.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are both set to serve as executive producers for the polo show, which will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures with showrunner Miloš Balać, co-executive producer of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Welcome to Wrexham on FX.

Both series are said to be in the early stages of production, with titles and premiere dates expected in the coming months.

The news dropped after a source exclusively told PEOPLE that Meghan was “excited” about American Riviera Orchard and its budding online presence.

“Meghan finds the name American Riviera Orchard perfect. It feels authentic to her. She can’t wait for the website to launch,” the source told PEOPLE. The insider added that the brand “will reflect everything that she loves — family, cooking, entertaining and home décor.”

“She is excited about her latest, personal venture,” the source said. “This is something she’s been wanting to do for a while. She is excited to share her style and things that she loves.”

The American Riviera Orchard name pays homage to Santa Barbara, the California town where the Duchess of Sussex lives with Prince Harry and their children, 4-year-old son Prince Archie and 2-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet. The stretch of California coast has been nicknamed the “American Riviera” for over a century, and Meghan included the name of their neighborhood, Montecito, below American Riviera Orchard’s logo.

I’ve never been the type of person to do only one thing. I guess that how my website was born,” Meghan said in the series, which chronicled her love story with Harry, their step back from their royal roles in 2020 and U.S. move the same year.

“There was fashion, there was tons of food, and travel, so it was all of the things that I loved. And The Tig wasn’t just a hobby. It became a really successful business,” she said.
