Meghan Markle's American Riviera Orchard Brand Is Coming So Soon

She's planning her TV and brand comeback after a "quiet" year.

It’s been a quiet year for Meghan Markle, who’s taken a backseat amidst Prince Harry’s packed schedule of solo engagements and travel. It didn’t start out that way: Back in March, the Suits alum drummed up excitement for her forthcoming American Riviera Orchard brand with a limited jam release, but the much-anticipated launch has yet to materialize. However, according to sources, things will look a little different in 2025 as Markle has been working hard behind the scenes to release several major public projects in the new year.

As soon as “early 2025,” the Duchess of Sussex will be back in the public sphere with the release of her new Netflix show, which will cover all things “cooking, gardening, and entertaining,” sources reportedly told Page Six. As she dips her toes into the lifestyle realm, she’ll also be finally launching American Riviera Orchard, which comes amidst speculation that issues with the release had pushed the date back.

“As far as Meghan being quiet, she’s been in the background working on her entrepreneurial efforts,” an industry source told Page Six of “the Netflix project and her brand,” adding that both “will come out within the same timeline in the New Year.”

One inside source told PageSix that while Markle has “been keeping her cards close to her chest” amidst chatter about her American Riviera Orchard brand, speculation that the launch’s delay is due to issues finding a CEO are untrue.

“But I can tell you that she is the CEO of American Riviera Orchard, so all these rumors about her having a hard time finding a CEO are false,” they told the publication. The insider added that the actress is gearing up for “a good year” and is ready to see all her hard work come to fruition. “She’s spent the majority of the year doing work behind the scenes to launch a project in the first few months of 2025,” they shared.

As Prince Harry has been stepping out alone for trips to South Africa and Canada, Markle recently went solo to attend the Nov. 14 launch of Highbrown Hippie Haircare & Wellness – part of the couple’s reported “twin-track approach” as they pursue their separate projects.

"The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals—not just as a couple,” a source told People. “The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track.” Similarly, as Markle rings in a booked and busy 2025, Prince Harry also has plans to launch his own Netflix series on polo.
