Meghan Markle is not using her Royal title to make money with her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, according to a PR expert.

The Duchess of Sussex gave a sneak peek of her new lifestyle brand on Instagram last Friday. She shared the name, logo and a short video that gives a hint of what’s to come for her brand new venture.

In the video, Meghan is seen cooking in a kitchen and arranging some flowers. It’s believed that Meghan will be launching home items like tableware and textiles, as well as marmalades, fruit preserves, and cookbooks.

This comes after a trademark application for American Riviera Orchard was reportedly filed early last month.

Lynn continued: “I don’t think Meghan is directly making money from her Royal title with this brand.

“It’s more about her current life, which is why it’s named after Montecito, often known as the American Riviera.”

Queen Elizabeth II had previously stopped Harry and Meghan from using their “SussexRoyal” brand after they stepped back from Royal duties in 2020.

It has led to many people asking why they’re still called the Duke and Duchess, especially as Meghan is using this title on her new brand’s Instagram account.
