The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made headlines in 2020 when they stepped back from their royal duties. Since then, Meghan Markle has been venturing into bold new business territories, drawing comparisons to Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
Meghan, known for her daring spirit, is reportedly preparing to launch a rosé wine under her luxury brand. This move comes as an extension of her earlier offerings, which include pots of raspberry and strawberry jam and dog biscuits through her American Riviera Orchard label.
Introduced earlier this year with support from celebrity friends promoting the products on social media, Meghan's lifestyle brand has been making waves. According to a source cited by The Daily Mail, the duchess is poised to enter the wine market, a move that aligns with commercial trends.
Launching a wine makes strategic sense for Meghan, as it follows a path laid out by other celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, Kylie Minogue, Francis Ford Coppola, and notably, Brad Pitt, whose Miraval rosé has earned critical acclaim and retails for around £25 at supermarkets.
The decision to pursue wine sales may reflect Meghan's recognition of the financial opportunities tied to celebrity-endorsed products. Since stepping back from royal life and relocating their family from Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to the US, Harry and Meghan have been actively involved in personal ventures that occasionally stir controversy.
These include Harry's forthcoming memoir "Spare" and their revealing Netflix documentary series "Harry & Meghan." Meanwhile, Meghan continues to expand her business footprint with American Riviera Orchard, signaling her intent to carve out a distinct entrepreneurial path beyond the constraints of royal tradition.
