David and Victoria Beckham’s 11-year-old daughter is a mini style icon
David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest child Harper has quite the archive of designer pieces in her wardrobe. From her cloud blue Prada handbag to her £890 mini chain pouch bag from VB’s eponymous fashion label, the 11-year-old is no stranger to a luxe fashion moment.
It seems the youngest Beckham has added another designer piece to her collection, having rocked a sunshine-yellow swimsuit on Victoria’s Instagram on Sunday that looks mighty like the £160 ‘Nancy’ one-shoulder bikini set from iconic label Hunza G.
Taking to social media to mark Mother’s Day, VB penned a heartwarming tribute in honour of her four children, sharing a snap beside Harper as the mother-daughter duo enjoyed a swim in a turquoise swimming pool. Take a look at more of Harper’s cutest moments in the clip below…
The former Spice Girls star penned: “I feel blessed every day to be a mummy. I love you all so so much. You make me smile,(controversial) every day and prouder than you could ever know. David Beckham what can I say… You really are our everything. We have done such a good job, I’m so proud of us! I love u!”
“Somebody please tell me how VB looks just as young as Harper?” a fan wrote in the comments, as another penned: “You and David are amazing parental role models. Your children turned out to be amazing human beings.”
Harper looked radiant in the sweet snap beside her mum, who kissed her mini-me on the cheek. Victoria and Harper have been known to share clothes on several occasions, so we wouldn’t be surprised if Harper’s stylish crinkle swimwear is actually from her mum’s wardrobe.

Everything we know about Meghan’s new business
MEGHAN Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.
Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.
A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.
“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.
“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”
According to a report from Page Six, Meghan’s company will focus on home, garden, food, and general lifestyle content.
The brand will reportedly sell a variety of home goods, such as cookbooks, foods, and kitchenware.
The source said: “She’s been working on this for over a year and it’s all the things that are close to her heart — all the things she’s passionate about.”
A trademark application for ‘American Riviera Orchard’ showed Meghan is planning to sell cutlery, decanters, legume-based spreads and even napkin rings.
The account launched just hours before Prince William gave a speech at the Diana Legacy Award.
It was accompanied by an Instagram story showing grainy footage of the duchess arranging flowers and baking in her stunning home.
With a jazzy soundtrack by the late Nancy Wilson, the cryptic video conveys a sense of old-fashioned Hollywood glam.
A woman wearing a ball gown – believed to be the Duchess of Sussex – is also seen through open French doors in what looks like her lavish £12million Montecito mansion.
The footage also featured the brand’s logo drawn in a script-like font that resembles a wedding invitation.
The account’s biography says the brand is “by Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex” and visitors are linked to a website where they can join a mailing list.
Other than that, the vague page is bare except for the American Riviera Orchard’s logo spread elegantly across nine posts.
David and Victoria Beckham are building a “bat hotel” — so the nocturnal fliers can hang out at their country home.
A new Springwatch-style barn proposed for the couple’s £6million property is to feature a “wildlife corridor”.

How we imagine David hanging out with the nocturnal fliers
The nature-loving pair promise it will provide “new roosting and nesting opportunities for bats and birds”.
Ex-England skipper David, 46, and fashion designer Victoria, 47, have spent the past few years doing up the Cotswolds retreat, despite some local opposition.
They have dug a pond and added a series of small hills for privacy.
The house has a gym, yoga space and a wine cellar with space for 7,000 bottles.

There is also a sauna, outdoor swimming pool and a football pitch.
But the Beckhams had to submit a detailed ecological report when applying for permission to build a new barn.

It states that “any new lighting to be introduced should be designed to minimise light spillage and pollution and not directed on to any bird/bat boxes installed”.
Workers will be advised about local wildlife. Installation will also take place outside the bird nesting season, so cannot start until the end of August.
PRINCESS Kate’s family have broken their silence after her shock cancer diagnosis.

The transcript of Kate’s statement
He also said in the Instagram post: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”
He also added a love heart emoji and a mountain emoji to the touching post.
Kate, 42, revealed on Friday evening that she is undergoing treatment for cancer in a brave video message.
The royal said the diagnosis had come as a “huge shock” – but vowed: “I am well and getting stronger every day”.
Her diagnosis is the second cancer shock to hit the royal family in as many months after King Charles revealed he was also undergoing treatment.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement tonight that the King was “so proud” of Kate for “speaking as she did” and remains in the “closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law”.
Kate said the family now needs “time, space and privacy” while she completes her treatment.
It is now believed she will not return to work at Easter, as was previously announced by the palace.
Comments on James’ post paid tribute to his beloved sister.
One said: “My thoughts and prayers are with both the king and the princess at these very difficult times. I wish them both well but not forgetting William as well, his father and wife at the same time. Tough times don’t last tough people do.”
Another said: “We are all praying for the Princess and your family.”

While a third posted: “We love your sister xx Shes is a special lady xx sending you and your family so much love xxx”
Kate mentioned the support her family had given her inthe emotional video statement:
She said: “I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, personally, for all the understanding whilst I’ve been recovering from surgery.
“It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family but I have had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful.”
The palace are unable to say when chemotherapy treatment will end.
Kate’s abdominal procedure took place at the London Clinic on January 16, Kensington Palace previously confirmed.
Kate was last officially seen with her family at the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.
Her absence has been plagued by vile conspiracy theories over her whereabouts in the weeks that followed the announcement.
On March 4, Kate was seen for the first time since her operation. as she rode in a car with mum Carole, 69.
It’s time to show Kate more respect, blasts Sun’s Royal Editor
THE Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson says it’s time cruel trolls lay off Kate as he gives his insight into her shock cancer diagnosis.
It is sometimes hard to remember and understand that this is a family and they are going through very tough experiences at the moment.
I find it very interesting that she does speak about how they’ve taken time, they’ve needed time, to process this information and also tell their three children George, Charlotte and Louis, which would be an incredibly difficult conversation.
A lot of people who have poked fun at Kate purely to gain hits online, such as Kim Kardashian, need to have a hard look at themselves and apologise for their behaviour.
People have been asking where’s Kate? Well, she’s been coping with this cancer diagnosis and having to tell her young family.
Much of the abuse has also come from so-called ‘Sussex Squad’ members on Twitter who are fans of Harry and Meghan. This has been a shameful episode and people should show the Princess of Wales more respect.
We know the Princess of Wales went into hospital for abdominal surgery in January. That surgery was successful and it was non-cancerous. However, subsequent tests have found cancer and at the end of February she embarked on the start of preventative chemotherapy.
They’ve taken time to process this and Kate has announced this to the world today.
They’ve chosen today because it is the last day of school for George, Charlotte and Louis and it means that they can now huddle together as a family for the next couple of weeks away from all the drama and really come together and deal with this cancer diagnosis.
A cancer diagnosis that Kate has said she has found shocking, but it’s also a cancer diagnosis that many people around the world will listen to and will have sympathy for and empathy for because there are many families that are also going through this kind of situation and having to break the news to their children, as in this case.
Kate has been living her life in the spotlight for many, many years and there has been some very nasty stuff posted online. Lots of bullying, we would suggest, about Kate and about why she has been missing for the last couple of weeks.
We understand that wasn’t a motivation for her coming out today to make the statement but it’s obviously something that has dominated the front pages and dominated social media online. Questions about what has happened to Kate. Now she has answered it and said that while everyone has been discussing where she is, that actually she has been coping with the diagnosis of cancer and digesting this with her family.
She has told the rest of the Royal Family. The King – who also has his own diagnosis of cancer and is also undergoing treatment – has been made aware. The Royal Family will be circling the wagons.
I think she will be getting a huge amount of support from family and friends and she has spoken about how William, obviously, has shown her so much support.
They will now be off for a couple of weeks with the three children for Easter. William will return after the Easter holidays. And The Princess of Wales may well return.
She says she is full of hope, she says that she hopes that she will get better, she’s told the kids that she will be OK.
So we may see The Princess of Wales in coming months attending engagements but we really do need to give her time as she has asked to see how the preventative chemotherapy gets on.

The pair said: “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.”
Kate, 42, revealed her health battle to the world in an emotional video message.
The royal said it came as a “huge shock” to her following further tests after her abdominal surgery.
But the mum-of-three vowed: “I am well and getting stronger every day”.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told The Sun Kate’s diagnosis is the “perfect opportunity” for Harry and Meghan to mend their rift with the Waleses
He said: “This is a dread situation, a major operation followed by cancer.
“There is always sometimes in the most awful and serious thing sometimes opportunities come as well… one must hope there is as much positivity as possible that’s what she is spreading with the message like that.
“This is also an opportunity for the trolls and the evil people spreading malicious rumours to be silenced.”

He said: “He’ll be probably be pretty devastated I’d say.
Kate Middleton has been terribly bullied but that wasn’t why she revealed she has cancer
“Whether he comes to the UK to visit Kate, time will have to tell.”
It comes after a source told the New York Post Harry and Meghan found out about Kate when the rest of the world did.
The insider said: “They had no idea, and only learned of the news around the same time the rest of the world found out.”
ITV’s royal editor Chris Ship has since revealed Harry has reached out to brother Wills following the news.

Princess Kate’s statement in full
Mr Ship said: “Prince Harry has reached out to his brother, Prince William after learning of Kate’s cancer.
“Harry and Meghan have both been in touch with their brother/sister-in-law but did so privately.
“It not clear if that was a phone/video call or some messages of support.”
Kate’s diagnosis is the second cancer shock to hit the royal family in as many months after King Charles revealed he was also undergoing treatment.
He last night praised Kate for her “courage” in a statement from Buckingham Palace.
Kate’s brother James Middleton also shared a touching picture and message to his sister after the shock diagnosis was revealed.
He wrote: “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together. As a family, we will climb this one with you too.”
Kate said she initially had no signs of cancer but post-op tests showed the disease had been “present”.
She has chosen not to reveal what type of cancer she has but said she is in the early stages of treatment.
The “proud” King also remains in close contact with his “beloved daughter-in-law” and that both he and Camilla will “continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time’.
Sitting on a bench at Windsor for the poignant clip, the royal thanked her husband Prince William for his support.
Her voice also cracked as she said she has broken the news to George, 10, Charlotte, 8, and five-year-old Louis.
The Princess of Wales added: “This of course came as a huge shock. William and I have been doing everything I can to process this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine this has taken time. It has taken time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.
“Most importantly it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.
“As I have said to them, I am well and I’m getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirit.
“Having William by my side is a great source of comfort and reassurance too. As is the love, support and kindness that has been shown by so many of you. It means so much to us both.”
Gary Goldsmith DIDN’T know about niece Kate’s cancer when he went into CBB house
PRINCESS Kate’s uncle Gary Goldsmith didn’t know about his niece’s cancer when he went into the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The former businessman, 58, was the first to be evicted from the ITV show which first aired early in March, after Kate was given the devastating news that post-op tests had detected cancer.
Gary regularly discussed Kate on the show but refused to give details – even brazenly saying: “If it’s announced, I’ll give you an opinion.”
Hours after Kate shared her devastating news in a video message, her uncle appeared in a glitzy magazine shoot spilling details Prince William, Kate and the King.
Gary took to X last night, saying that feature was “done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate”.
Gary wrote: “As many will have seen, I am featured in Saturday’s ‘Times Magazine’.
“This interview and shoot was done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article.
“I hope this draws a line over the continued speculation and horrible conspiracies.
“Let’s give Kate, William & the children time and show some love back.”
Kate said the family now needs “time, space and privacy” while she completes her treatment.
She will not be returning to public duties for the foreseeable future.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson confirmed Kate started a course of preventative chemotherapy in late February and is now on a “recovery pathway”.
The diagnosis was the reason William pulled out of an event last month for a “personal matter”.
The Palace was unable to say when chemotherapy treatment will end and said Kate had spoken to the King.
It also confirmed Prince William will continue to “balance supporting his wife and family and maintaining his official duties as he has done since the start of the year”.
He is expected to return to royal duties after the Easter school holidays.
The Palace spokesperson added: “The Princess wanted to share this information when she and The Prince felt it was right for them as a family.

Kate’s abdominal procedure took place at the London Clinic on January 16, it was previously confirmed.
Grovelling celebs who spouted vile Kate conspiracies are shameful bullies, says royal expert
VILE celebrities who dished out conspiracies about Princess Kate’s health should be “ashamed.
Hugo Vickers, royal historian, told The Sun: “The conspiracy theorists, went in big time in the last few days.
“It says an awful lot about the mindset of these people. The high profile ones, but also the very irresponsible members of the general public who just sort of weighed in as well.
“It was extremely unattractive because, we all love the Princess of Wales, and she’s done a fantastic job.
“She’s really faultless in everything she’s done ever since she married Prince William.”
The expert added all the vile trolling and ‘Katespiracies’ would have “made things much more difficult” than they already were.
“I think quite simply, they should be feeling very ashamed of themselves,” he added.
“I think quite a few people have popped up and apologised, and rightly so.
“This is not something you should be joking about, or bonding about all sorts of absurd theories.”
“You will always have conspiracy theories because if you’re a conspiracy theorist, that’s what you do,” continued Mr Vickers.
“There are always going to be people coming up with theories and they always will so that you can’t stop.
“I think that anyone who pops up with some ludicrous theory about the princess would get very short shrift.
“And so I imagine that they will go to ground to be quite honest, because in a sense, they are bullies. They’re pushing it the whole time.
“And as somebody rightly said years ago, inside every bully, there’s a coward desperately trying to stay in.”
It was understood she would be absent from royal duties until after the Easter break.
Kate was last officially seen with her family at the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham.
Her absence has been plagued by vile conspiracy theories over her whereabouts in the weeks that followed the announcement.
On March 4, Kate was seen for the first time since her operation. as she rode in a car with mum Carole, 69.
That same week, she shared a sweet snap of herself with Prince Louis, Prince George and Princess Charlotte for Mother’s Day.
But eagle-eyed royal fans were quick to spot flaws in the snap – before photo agencies ordered a “kill notice” on the pic.
This caused further vile conspiracy theories to spread – before Kate admitted on March 11 that she had “experimented with editing”.
She was spotted in the car with Prince William as they left Windsor Castle that afternoon.
Kate was later said to be “very sad” that the sweet photograph had triggered a global furore.
Then, on Saturday, royal fans spotted Princess Kate out and about near her home at Windsor.
On Monday, Kate was seen in a video obtained by The Sun shopping with Prince William.
The diagnosis comes as three workers at The London Clinic are investigated over allegations they attempted to hack Kate’s medical records.

WHEN Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit as senior royals in 2020, they insisted they wanted to become “financially independent”.
And it seems the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were able to do so with a little bit of help from inheritance.

Prince William, 41, and Harry, 39, received a hefty inheritance from their late mother, Princess Diana, who died in 1997.
The People’s Princess left just shy of £13 million to her sons, which was reduced to £8.5 million after death duties.
This swelled to over £20 million thanks to years of savvy investments by royal advisors, with Harry and William not seeing the cash till their 20s.
But that’s not the only inheritance Diana and King Charles’ sons benefitted from.
He may be the youngest, but Harry reportedly got a bigger inheritance from their great-grandmother Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, known as the Queen Mother, after she passed away in 2002.
She left an estimated £70m fortune, including works of art and house contents, to her only surviving daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
But years prior in 1994, the Queen Mother also put two-thirds of her money into a trust fund for her great-grandchildren.
William and Harry were set to share about £14 million from the investment, the BBC reported in 2002.
Meghan & Harry declined invite to pal’s wedding ‘to avoid overshadowing bride’
However, it was reported that the bulk of the cash went to Harry because William will “benefit financially” by becoming king.
William is first in line to the throne, while Harry is fifth in line.
He follows William’s children with Kate Middleton: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
He will be further pushed down the ranks when his nieces and nephews eventually have kids of their own.
Harry married Meghan in May 2018, with televised ceremony taking place in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.
But in January 2020, the pair posted on Instagram they plan to “step back” from royal duties and split their time between Britain and North America.
Your Prince Harry and Meghan Markle questions answered
The couple revealed that they plan to become “financially independent” as they “carve out a progressive new role”.
They now have an £12.8million Californian mansion where they are raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet, which they are said to have taken out a £8.3million mortgage on.
Harry is thought to have an impressive net worth of about £48 million.
It is thought that Meghan is worth a similar amount, as the pair reportedly share their money and often take on projects together.
Before she tied the knot with Harry, Meghan was worth an estimated £3.5 million thanks to her role in American drama Suits.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are celebrating their sixth wedding anniversary today and a body language expert comments on how their relationship has developed ever since.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been praised as a “very compatible” couple as the duo celebrate six years of marriagetoday.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex tied the knot on May 19, 2018, in St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle with the lavish ceremony being watched by millions worldwide.
Harry and Meghan have since welcomed two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with the relationship evolving in different ways.
Now body language expert Darren Stanton has touched on the couple’s relationship as well as how they have gone from “strength to strength” after having “each other’s backs” as husband and wife.
Mr Stanton described the Sussex pair as a “very compatible” couple who can “balance out each other’s personalities perfectly”.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Live Casino, he said: “When we look at Harry and Meghan as a couple, they are very compatible together.
“They balance out each other’s personalities perfectly.”

“They were tactile with each other, which speaks volumes about their trust levels as a couple. They know each other inside out and it comes across as completely natural.”
Mr Stanton added that Harry and Meghan have demonstrated over the years “how real their relationship is”.
The expert said: “They’ve overcome a lot and always have each other’s backs, whatever situation they are faced with. They’re both independent individuals, who bring out the best in each other.
“That is shown by how their levels of confidence and resilience have grown since their relationship first began. The fact they have been through so much together has made their connection even stronger.”
MEGHAN Markle has a new stylist after seemingly parting ways with former best friend Jessica Mulroney.
The Duchess of Sussex is said to be using celeb go-to Jamie Mizrahi to “refresh her look”, according to Grazia.

With the launch of her upcoming new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and a swanky new look, it is said that Meghan’s “Hollywood relaunch” is nearly complete.
The A-list stylist has been behind the looks of Adele, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence and Meg’s neighbour Katy Perry, to name a few.
And Jamie conveniently lives a stone’s throw away from Harry and Meghan’s £12million Montecito mansion in California.
Meg’s split from Jessica
This follows Meghan and her previous stylist and best friend Jessica being inseparable for a decade, ever since the former actress moved to Canada to film Suits.
Jessica, who’s married to the son of a former Canadian Prime Minister, is thought to have helped Meghan expand her contacts book.
The stylist was the unofficial Maid of Honour at her royal wedding, and sources have previously revealed: “Jessica was more influential on Megxit than anyone really realised.”
Meghan is thought to have first distanced herself from Jessica after lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter accused the Canadian of “white privilege”.
While the stylist has denied being a racist, Meghan stayed silent as single mum Sasha said messages from Jessica left her “paralysed with fear”.
Meghan was reported to have “cut ties” with her former over the spat, although this has never been confirmed. Meghan Markle’s best friend Jessica Mulroney and daughter Ivy are UK bound to meet baby Archie for the first time
We saw Meghan and Jamie together having dinner ahead of Katy Perry’s Las Vegas concert in November, which was also attended by the Duke of Sussex.
A source told The Mirror: “They were deep in conversation.
“It looked like Meghan is going for a restyle and Jamie is the go-to stylist for every Hollywood A-Lister, including Katy Perry and Britney Spears.”
Who is Jessica Mulroney?
The Canadian-born fashion stylist who regularly appeared on Good Morning America.
The TV presenter is best known for her close friendship with the Duchess of Sussex and occasionally shares fitness tips on her Instagram page.
Mulroney became a household name in 2015 after styling outfits for Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The mum-of-three is married to Ben Mulroney, the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
The former best friends met in 2011, when Markle hired Mulroney as a fashion stylist while filming the TV series Suits and living in Toronto, according to Irish Central.
Jamie’s styling the stars
Jamie grew up in New Jersey and graduated from George Washington University in 2008.
Setting her sights on a career in fashion, she got a job working for stylist Elizabath Sulcer.
Speaking to Fashionista in 2016, she shared how she landed a job with the Vogue events team.
Jamie shared: “I had just graduated and I really loved styling, but there was something about coming from college and not having a proper desk job lined up, where you have hours and you have steady pay.
“That was a little concerning at first.”
Her move to Los Angeles came after meeting husband Nico, and she continued working as a stylist and helping with creative consulting for clients.
After Jamie started taking courses at LA’s Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, she was asked by actress Eva Hendes to help her on the Place Behind the Pines press tour.
This move placed her more in the public eye, and she ended up working with Britney Spears as a result.
Jamie told the Wall Street Journal: “She was always very clear and direct about her [fashion] choices, with very little regret.
“She never chased the fashion trends and was always herself. She was also incredibly kind and was a pleasure to work with.”
The talented stylist went on to join the books at The Wall Group and landed clients such as Katy Perry, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Leighton Meester, Kate Upton and Riley Keough.
Jamie ‘reinventing’ celebs
She added in her Fashionista interviews about how she styles her A-list clients: “I do a little research on them: the roles that they’re about to play, who they are as a person, what they wear in their street life and what they’ve worn on the red carpet.
“I compose a document — what the media has perceived as their best looks and what I think looks great on them as far as highlighting their best outfits and where they look the most comfortable…
“Then I’ll compose a mood board of press looks, day looks, inspiration; next I’ll do evening, red carpet looks. Then I’ll do street style, hair and makeup.”
One of her main joys is helping clients “reinvent themselves.”
My job is helping present my clients to the world. How you choose to dress is a clear statement of how you want people to view you—and shifting that perspective can change your whole career. And that’s a business in itself
Jamie MizrahiFashion Stylist
She added to the WSJ: “[Styling] it’s not just about picking out the most flattering outfit. Part of my job is to look at the larger picture of my clients’ careers. I have to take into account what their goals are. Do they want to be taken more seriously in their industry?
“Do they want to be less sexualized? Are they looking to step into a more mature phase of their life or looking for someone to help them take risks? Do they want a specific type of role that they haven’t gotten because they are looked at in a certain light?
“My job is helping present my clients to the world. How you choose to dress is a clear statement of how you want people to view you—and shifting that perspective can change your whole career. And that’s a business in itself.”
We’ve recently seen Meghan wear a number of stylish ensembles including a head-turning look for the polo with Prince Harry this month.
Harry and Meghan looked pristine as they stepped out in a loved up display attending the Royal Salute Polo Challenge in Palm Beach, Miami.
Meghan, 42, held her husband’s hand as she donned a sophisticated £425 Heidie Merrick halterneck white dress, beige heels and oversized sunglasses for the event.
This comes as Meghan’s new American Riviera Orchard brand is set to launch imminently.
Meghan’s new brand
The Duchess of Sussex has delivered several beautifully-packed gift baskets to friends and influencers before the launch.
Several close pals have shared photos of their pre-launch promotional baskets, including fashion designer Tracy Robbins.
According to a report from Page Six, Meghan’s company will focus on home, garden, food, and general lifestyle content.
What is Meghan Markle’s new business?
Meghan Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.
Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.
A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.
“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.
“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”
The brand will reportedly sell home goods, such as cookbooks, food and kitchenware.
A trademark application for ‘American Riviera Orchard’ showed Meghan could sell cutlery, decanters, legume-based spreads and even napkin rings.
This follows Meghan, 42, closing her former lifestyle page, The Tig, in April 2017, shortly after she started dating Prince Harry.

PRINCE Archie and Princess Lilibet will be kept off screens by the Sussexes in their upcoming Netflix shows.
Filming has started on both Meghan’s lifestyle show and Harry’s polo programme but the TV series will not include the children, The Sun on Sunday understands.

The shows are considered to be a make or break for the Duchess, 42, and the Duke, 39, as part of their £100million Netflix deal.
But Archie, four, and Lilibet, two, will not appear in either.
It comes after we last year revealed that the couple disagreed over whether to make their family lives public or not.
Harry is said to be keen to keep the children away from cameras, while Meghan is more relaxed about the world seeing them.
The children’s appearances are rare and they have been seen only in official photographs and in fleeting moments on the previous Harry & Meghan Netflix show.
An insider said: “Harry and Meghan have not always agreed on how much they should expose their children to the media but, in this case, Harry has clearly won.”
Meg’s show — which is said to “celebrate the joys of cooking and gardening, entertaining and friendship” — is not being filmed at the couple’s £11million home.
Instead, camera crews have been seen setting up at a neighbour’s house in Montecito, California.
Meanwhile, Harry is working on a TV series about the sport of polo.
He was spotted filming at the Royal Salute Polo Challenge for charity Sentebale’s fundraiser in Florida. The couple have vowed to stop trashing the royals after their previous series.

The Duke and Duchess — who stepped back from working royal life in 2020 — are understood to have ended their public attacks after the tell-all Oprah Winfrey interview and the fly-on-the-wall series sparked criticism.
Next month, Harry is set to return to the UK for a ten-year celebration of his Invictus Games at St Paul’s Cathedral, in London.

Everything we know about Meghan Markle’s new business, American Riviera Orchard
MEGHAN Markle has launched a new Instagram brand called American Riviera Orchard.
Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.
A source told the Mail: “It’s a lifestyle and cooking brand called American Riviera Orchard.
“The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix.
“Meghan will be making, and selling, products such as jams. And at some point there will be a book and blog etc.”
PRINCE Harry will return to the UK for the Invictus Games Foundation’s 10th Anniversary in just days – but Meghan is not expected to be by his side.
An Invictus Games spokesperson confirmed the Duke will arrive at the Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday 8th May.

The star-studded event marks a decade since the inaugural Invictus Games London in 2014.
Harry, 39, will celebrate the impact sport can make on people’s lives and honour the occasion with a special reading.
It will be his first time in Britain since Princess Kate announced she is receiving treatment for cancer on March 22.
However, wife Meghan’s attendance has not been confirmed yet, alongside their children Archie and Lilibet.
Archie’s birthday lands just two days prior and will mark the same day as King Charles’ first coronation anniversary, May 6.
Meg, 42, has joined Harry at his games in Toronto, Sydney, The Hague and Dusseldorf – and the one-year-out launch party for Vancouver.
However, she has not been seen in the UK since attending Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.
She turned down an invite to the King’s Coronation as it clashed with Archie’s fourth birthday.
Meanwhile, acting legend Damian Lewis is expected to recite the Invictus poem during the service.

William Henley, the author of the sentimental poem, has a memorial bust within the Crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral.
Representatives from across the Invictus Games participating nations will be attending the heartwarming service.
They include members of the wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veteran community, confirmed the Invictus Games spokesperson.
They will also be performing readings throughout the Service, led by The Very Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Dean of St Paul’s.
Major members of the Royal Family – who did join in with early editions of Harry’s biannual event – are not expected to attend.
It is not known where the duke will be staying on his visit but he is homeless in the UK after being evicted last summer from Frogmore Cottage.
FAMILY REUNION
It comes as several royal experts speculate on the possibility of a reunion between Harry, the King, and Prince William.
The Invictus Games service runs from 5pm until 6.30pm which clashes with the first Buckingham Palace garden held between 3pm and 6pm.
I do think Harry and his father are trying to reconcile
Richard Palmer
With King Charles announcing he is fit and well enough to return to public-facing duties, the lavish outdoor bash could be on the cards.
Prince William, 41, could also appear at the first of two palace garden parties and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Anne are also possible star guests.
The Princess of Wales, 42, who is undergoing cancer treatment, is not expected to attend.
While some royal experts claim His Majesty is open to reconciliation – it may be a tougher job with Wills.
I think with William it’s going to be a much longer process
Richard Palmer
Others have suggested a turbulent period for the family amid their health battles could see the fractured relationships pieced back together.
Esteemed royal reporter, Richard Palmer, spoke on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show and said: “I do think Harry and his father are trying to reconcile,” said Mr Butler.
“I think with William it’s going to be a much longer process.
“But eventually, maybe, you know that lots of families have disputes and over time they can heal their divisions, but there’s a big job to be done yet with William.”
There’s no doubt Harry wishes to convey he is a very devoted family man and will put them above everything else
Richard Fitzwilliams
Meanwhile, Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams revealed that while a possible reunion could happen soon, the future King “has been through enough”.
And, the royal commentator previously dubbed Meghan the obstacle in the way of laying “one of the worst public royal rifts ever” to rest.
He claimed: “Meghan has the say. There’s no doubt Harry wishes to convey he is a very devoted family man and will put them above everything else. Just like William.”
Prince Harry & William’s ‘feud’: Brothers ‘at war’
In 2018, the Sun told how “simmering tension
The first hints of friction reportedly came after William was introduced to Meghan when she was staying at Kensington Palace.
Once she’d returned home to Canada, William and Harry sat down for a brother-to-brother chat.
He knew Harry was already head-over-heels for her but it has been claimed he advised him to take it slowly.
The younger prince reportedly didn’t take too kindly to the advice, with one royal source saying he “went mental”.
Then in June 2019 Harry and Meghan officially split off from the charity they shared with William and Kate.
The Royal Foundation will be divided between the Sussexes and Cambridges as the couples focus on their own separate charitable endeavours.
Prince William and Prince Harry first established the Royal Foundation in 2009 before Kate joined two years later shortly after their engagement was announced.
The trio would often appear together at events and the Foundation had huge successes with projects like the Invictus Games for injured veterans and the mental health Heads Together campaign.
The Royal Foundation said the decision was made following the conclusion of a review of its structure – but added both couples will continue to work together in the future.
Harry and Meg were living near Kate and Wills within the Kensington Palace estate, but they switched to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor before baby Archie was born.
The move further increased rumours of a fallout.
Harry, 39, also hinted in his ITV documentary “Harry and Meghan, An African Journey” that he and his brother had grown apart.
It came after Prince Philip called Meghan the “D.O.W” after the Duchess of Windsor — the American divorcee who led Edward VIII to abdicate.
And he warned the late Queen to be “cautious” of Harry’s then bride-to-be, a royal author claims.
Ingrid Seward revealed in her new book My Mother And I that Prince Philip felt it was “uncanny… how much Meghan reminded him of the Duchess of Windsor”.
In 2021, Harry and Meghan gave their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey where Harry accused his dad of cutting him off financially.
Harry then jetted back to the UK to join William in unveiling a statue of their mother Princess Diana on the grounds of Kensington Palace. But sources claimed William didn’t want to attend the memorial amid their ongoing rift.
In 2022, just before their grandmother the Queen died, sources claimed Kate acts as a “peacemaker” between the brothers.
Last year Harry claimed his brother “knocked him to the floor” during an argument about Meghan.
In his book Spare, Harry said William branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row.
Harry alleged William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and … knocked me to the floor”.
He said he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.
In January this year, Harry flew in to be with Charles after the monarch’s shock cancer diagnosis.
Harry flew back to the US the following day – without seeing Wills.
