Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard is a disaster waiting to happen, An expert on Royal Family affairs called it “a ticking time bomb.”

Meghan Markle’s latest venture into the lifestyle brand market with American Riviera Orchard has raised eyebrows and concerns within the Royal Family.

Despite initial promises of privacy and a commitment not to commercialize their royal titles, Meghan and Prince Harry’s latest business move appears to be a strategic play for financial security once their current streams of income from Netflix and Spotify dwindle The brand, which promises to reflect Meghan’s love for family cooking, entertaining, and home decor, has already attracted criticism from Royal Family matters expert Tom Bower. The pundit sees the whole brand set up as blatant profiteering off her royal status. The use of her royal title in promotional materials has only fueled these concerns.

This latest development is part of a pattern that has emerged since Meghan and Harry’s move to California in 2021. Initially seen as a breath of fresh air for the British monarchy, Meghan’s actions since then have raised questions about her true intentions. From the star-studded guest list at their wedding to the careful curation of her public image, Meghan’s journey from actress to royal to entrepreneur has been meticulously planned and executed.

However, there have been bumps along the way. Meghan’s clash with the British media and her apparent surprise at the realities of royal life, including the lack of personal wealth and the constraints of royal protocol, have highlighted the challenges she has faced. The launch of American Riviera Orchard, reminiscent of her previous lifestyle blog The Tig, which she shut down upon becoming engaged to Harry, has reignited concerns about her commitment to royal duties and responsibilities.

Tensions with the Royal Family do not cease. King Charles III plans to strip titles of Princess from Prince Andrew’s daughters. Prince Harry and Meghan expected to snub invitation to spend Christmas with Royal Family.  As the Royal Family grapples with the fallout from Meghan’s latest venture, including the recent reduction of her and Harry’s formal biographies on the Buckingham Palace website, questions remain about the future of their royal titles and their place within the monarchy.

For now, Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard may offer a glimpse into her personal tastes and interests, but its long-term impact on the Royal Family’s reputation and legacy remains to be seen.
