Meghan Markle has been actively expanding her lifestyle empire while the royal family confronts health challenges.
The Duchess of Sussex hinted at her latest venture, American Riviera Orchard, through a new Instagram account debut on March 14.
Despite no official declaration from Markle or a representative for her and Prince Harry, details about the nature of this brand remain undisclosed.
Markle took steps to diversify her brand by filing two additional trademark applications in early March, focusing on cosmetics and gardening products.
In one application submitted on March 9, products such as bath soaps, body creams, cosmetics, scented oils, fragrances, and incense were listed.
It also included items like non-medicated skin care preparations, bath and shower gels, and non-medicated hair products.
Expanding further on March 19, the newest filing introduced gardening tools like trowels, weeding forks, shears, and specialized bags for gardening hand tools.
A garden tool gift set was also mentioned in this filing.
The initial trademark application for American Riviera Orchard, filed in February, encompassed textiles, cutlery, jellies, jams, marmalades, and various food spreads.
Additionally, it hinted at potential coffee and tea services, servingware, decanters, cookbooks, and retail spaces under the brand.
Meanwhile, as Markle’s brand evolves, the royal family faces health crises.
King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton are currently undergoing cancer treatments.
King Charles’ cancer diagnosis was disclosed by Buckingham Palace on February 5 during a hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.
Further tests revealed the presence of a form of cancer.
On the other hand, Middleton shared her cancer diagnosis on March 22.
The 42-year-old Princess of Wales commenced preventative chemotherapy following a planned abdominal surgery that exposed the existence of cancer.
She expressed gratitude towards her medical team for their exceptional care during this challenging period.
Princess Kate is expected to resume official duties once medically cleared.
In the midst of these health struggles within the royal family, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry extended their support privately to King Charles and Princess Kate, acknowledging the difficult times they are enduring.
