Meghan Markle's Lifestyle Brand Faces New Hurdles Ahead of Launch
Meghan Markle's new lifestyle brand, **American Riviera Orchard**, is encountering fresh challenges as it gears up for launch. According to Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan, the brand is struggling to build momentum, facing criticism and potential setbacks.
One of the major issues involves the brand's name. Some have raised concerns that it closely resembles an existing product, creating confusion in the marketplace. Callahan pointed out that this is just the latest difficulty Meghan faces as she works to establish her brand.
In addition to the branding issues, Meghan’s much-anticipated cooking show, which is closely linked to **American Riviera Orchard**, is not expected to air on Netflix until next spring. This delay has added additional pressure to the brand’s growth and visibility.
Ahead of the holiday season, however, Meghan is planning a special project. As reported by **Closer Magazine**, the Duchess of Sussex is curating exclusive gift packages filled with a selection of her favorite items, including a variety of her signature jam. These packages are set to be sent to Hollywood's elite, with the goal of promoting **American Riviera Orchard**.
The timing of this gesture, just before Christmas, appears to be a strategic move. According to a source, Meghan also hopes to use this initiative to spread goodwill and remind people of her more personal, softer side. With the holidays fast approaching, it seems Meghan is working to rebuild connections and strengthen her relationships with influential figures in the entertainment world.
