A Netflix camera crew captured every moment of the action for the Duke’s upcoming series about the sport as he stormed to victory in the tournament.

The couple greeted Argentine polo player, Nacho Figueras, and his glamorous wife Delfina Blaquier at the star-studded event.

Meghan, 42, held her husband’s hand as she donned a sophisticated halterneck white dress, beige heels and oversized sunglasses for the event.

Meanwhile, Harry, 39, complimented her style with a sand toned sport coat, white trousers and baby blue shirt.

Harry then took to the field in a fun-loving match against his pal Figueras in a bid to raise money for his charity Sentebale.

The Duke celebrated with his teammates following the dynamic polo match, applauding his opponents before stepping up to accept his prize from Meghan, along with a celebratory smooch.

The royals were accompanied with a film crew, to start shooting footage for the duke’s new Netflix show about polo.

The Sussexes reportedly have two untitled non-fiction projects in production.

The first series will focus on Meghan and explore “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, according to Deadline.

And a second show will hone in on the couple’s love for polo.

He was spotted chatting with fellow guests beforehand, one of which called him the “quintessential networker”, as reported by the Mail Online.

“He looked the quintessential networker – shaking hands, smiling for photos. He looked in his element,” they said.

Harry and Meghan’s new shows form part of the “creative partnership” Archewell Productions signed with the streaming giant in 2020.

Meghan’s show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.

The Duchess will executive produce alongside Archewell’s head of non-fiction Chanel Pysnik.

A second series will follow the couple’s polo passion.

Primarily shot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the project will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures.

‘DESPERATE’

But, Meghan’s new show has been blasted as “desperate” by royal experts.

The idea has been blasted by royal biographer Ingrid Seward.

Speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, she said: “It’s a bit desperate. I think it is wrong to criticise it before we see it.

“But I am more skeptical about Meghan because I don’t know she knows anything about gardening.

HARRY AND MEGHAN’S PDA

By body lanuage expert Judi James

This body language has all the hallmarks of a full-on ‘peacocking Prince’ display for the Netflix cameras.

With his puffed chest and his wide stride as he tows his WAG along like any celebrity sportsman, Harry is seen astride his galloping horse in tight white jodhpurs and knee-high leather boots or accepting his trophy from his loving and very glamorous wife Meghan in her giant A-list shades and those killer heels that would have no place divot-stomping during the breaks in play.

Harry’s wide grin suggests he is in his element here performing a tradition of polo-playing that has allowed generations of royal men to flex their sexual credentials in public.

Harry’s PDA with Meghan as she hands him his trophy comes with a rather sweet touch of bashful humour though. Their polo kiss back in 2018 was a moment of passionate intensity but here the couple’s mirrored face to face approach suggests both even status and some like-minded synchronicity.

Their lips are puckered and their raised and rounded cheeks suggest this is a fun pose with Harry kick-starting the laughter by adopting a pose of mock modesty as he is first handed the cup.

While Harry might be playing to his strengths by producing a film on polo his body language of delight and confidence here hints that he might also enjoy basking in the spotlight in more of a sexy, heroic role too.

“As for her talking about friendship that does make me feel a bit skeptical.

“She is really known for losing friends rather than gaining friends.

“To hear her talking about friendships I think that might go down a little strangely.”

The show is being produced by Sony Pictures Television’s The Intellectual Property Corporation.

NETFLIX FLOPS

It follows the couple’s 2022 documentary, Harry and Meghan, which sparked major controversy.

Released in two parts, the explosive docuseries lobbed bombs at The Firm – seeing it torn apart by royal experts.

But, despite the attention it drew, it didn’t even rank in the top 200 most-watched Netflix shows from January to June.

Months later Harry’s series Heart of Invictus about the Olympic-style games he started for wounded ex-service competitors flopped.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s animated series Pearl was dropped while still in the development stage

Harry and Meghan are believed to have been paid only half of their reported £78million contract.

It was said they will get the rest only if they produce content of real interest before the end of 2025.

Harry was also presented with a cup by Meghan — in a cream dress — after his Royal Salute Sentebale team won the tournament in Florida on Friday.

In 1985, Princess Di had a cup and a kiss for hubby Charles at a polo event in Windsor, Berks.

Harry’s day out with his posh pals was captured on film by Netflix as part of the couple’s new deal with the streaming service.

‘Obsessive’ Harry will never leave Meghan, a royal expert has claimed.

Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes the Duchess of Sussex will stay happy as long as “she’s in control”.

The couple this week revealed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are planning on releasing two more Netflix projects.

The first series will focus on Meghan and explore “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, according to Deadline.

The second series will follow the couple’s love of professional polo.

And despite rumours that the couple were having trouble in paradise last year, Ms Seward believes this shows how strong the couple truely are.

Speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, she said: “I think Harry has got an obsessive love for Meghan.

“I don’t think he will ever, ever leave her. She is in control and I think as long as she is in control she is Happy.

“I think the marriage is good and they’re very happy.”

But royal editor Ingrid Seward has detailed how the couple’s “Disneyesque” wedding saw the public initially love the Sussexes before opinion soured.

She told The Sun: “We loved them for a while and then we didn’t much anymore. Too many complaints. But they were in love and that mattered.

“Until they left and then they didn’t matter anymore. They had let the Queen down. They had let the Prince of Wales down they had let William then the Duke of Cornwall down.

“They had let us down. Harry was stoic. He loved his Californian lifestyle. He loved his wife and children.

“But he was bitter against everything he had left behind including his brother and his father and his sister-in-law, Kate.”

It comes just days after they returned to LA from a “faux-Royal tour” of Nigeria.

It was their first trip to the country as a couple, though they completed a tour of southern Africa in 2019 prior to stepping down from royal duties the following year.

The decision to live in royal exile was an extraordinary step in what has been an eventful six years of marriage.

It saw Sussexes stripped of their titles and honorary positions before moving to Montecito, California, where they now live in a $14 million mansion.

Ingrid, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, added: “If success can be judged by money. Harry’s life is a success. But he as a man is not a success.

Wills’ new role seems deliberately timed to antagonise Harry, says royal expert
“As a husband and father, he has done brilliantly. And when he and Meghan celebrate their six-year anniversary on Sunday (today) they will pat themselves on the back.

“People said it wouldn’t last and it has! Harry is no longer feted in his homeland as he once was. If anything, he is pitied.

“I don’t think Harry can see it. He is happy in his rarefied world
with Meghan doing what they do. Long may it last – and I think it
will.”

Her comments were echoed by royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams, who said Harry and Meghan appear to be “very well matched” from the outside.

But he highlighted how the Sussexes “can always do the unexpected” – a move that can be unpleasant.

Mr Fitzwilliams told The Sun: “All I can say is that the optics [of their marriage] as far as I can see seem fine.

“The two seem very well matched now, whether or not that’s a favorable comment depends, of course, on your view of them.

He added: “Harry has, of course, had his commemorative service at St Paul’s, celebrating 10 years of Invictus.

He was bitter against everything he had left behind including his brother and his father and his sister-in-law, Kate

Ingrid SewardRoyal Expert

“No other member of the royal family turned up – whether or not they were invited is quite another matter.

“But the facts are – don’t underestimate the Sussexes – because they can always do the unexpected, whether that would be a pleasant thing to do or not that is quite another issue.

“But so far as their marriage is concerned, certainly, so far as any public optics are concerned, it seems to me that they seem very well matched.”

Harry and Meghan described their trip to Nigeria as “unforgettable” and expressed their “deepest gratitude” for the hospitality they received.

But the statement came in the backdrop of a “delinquency” row their Archewell Foundation.

The charity was allegedly ordered to stop raising money after failing to submit records – and pay a bill.

But it later insisted it is “fully compliant”.

Sussexes ‘trying to rival Royal Family’

By Sarah Grealish & Matt Wilkinson

PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are desperately trying to be rivals to the royal family to save their image, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have just returned to the US after a three-day tour of Nigeria.

The Sussexes kicked off their “faux-Royal tour” with a visit to Lightway Academy, a primary and secondary school in the capital.

They then visited Nigeria’s defence HQ on Friday to meet military wives and senior officals.

The following day Harry was snapped playing volleyball, before Meghan referred to Nigeria as “my country”.

Many royal fans were quick to point out the similarities between their trip and an official royal tour.

And now a royal expert says he believes “an alternative royal family is emerging”.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show with Matt Wilkinson, Gareth Russell said: “To all intents and purposes that is a real possibility.

“The problem for the Sussexes is that once you start doing anything like that, people become a lot more critical of what you do outside that – like commercial endeavours or quasi-royal tours.

“People will put them under more of a microscope because they’re calling it ‘The Office of Harry and Meghan’.

“It’s interesting. I wonder is it part of a plan to pivot from some harsh headlines they’ve had in the last year or two?

“Is it maybe a slightly more social conservative direction and have themselves as royals in exile for want of a better word?

“I wonder is that them acting on advice that people don’t want to hear them criticising the royal family.”

Mr Russell now believes Harry and Meghan could be plotting more ‘faux-royal tours’ – including of the US.

He explained: “Their popularity at the moment is pretty low in America but that could change.

“Public opinion is always a bit of a rollarcoaster.

“But they absolutely could (go on a US tour) and there’s indications that they will.”

A statement added: “We have diligently investigated the situation and can confirm that The Archewell Foundation remains fully compliant and in good standing.

“Due payments were made promptly and in accordance with the IRS’s processes and procedures.

“Furthermore, all necessary paperwork had been filed by the Foundation without error or wrongdoing.”

And now Harry has hinted at more “faux Royal” tours following the trip to Nigeria.

During the trip, Meghan claimed Nigeria as “my country”, while Harry said there’s “only so much” he and and his wife can do “over Zoom”.

The duke told PEOPLE magazine: “We look forward to travelling more because the work matters.

“Whether it’s the Archewell Foundation, Invictus or any of our other causes, there will always be reasons to meet the people at the heart of our work.”

During the trip, the Sussexes were greeted by traditional dancers and met some of the primary schoolchildren.

The prince also met wounded Nigerian soldiers in the north-west of the country during the three-day visit.

WOULD HE ‘TAPE’ THIS?: KING CHARLES JOKES HE WOULD HAVE TO ‘SEARCH’ PRINCE HARRY IF ANOTHER MEETING BETWEEN THEM HAPPENED

SOURCE: MEGAKing Charles joked about Prince Harry taping their meetings.

King Charles III reportedly found himself “worried” his estranged youngest son, Prince Harry, would “tape” their conversation had he met with him on Wednesday, May 8.

“When King Charles heard his son was planning to return for the Invictus Games, he joked that if he saw Harry, he would have to have him searched first to see if he was taping their conversation!” royal author Tom Quinn told Daily Mirror.

SOURCE: MEGASources claim King Charles has met with Meghan Markle and his two Sussex grandchildren, ‘via secure video link.’

“And, of course, at many levels, this is no joking matter,” he added when highlighting the seriousness of the family feud that could lead to something like the taping of conversations.

His Majesty also seems to nervous about his estranged Sussex daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle.

“King Charles now fears that anything he says to his son may end up in a book written by Meghan,” Quinn added. “There was a sigh of relief at Kensington Palace and Clarence House that Harry appears to have scrapped the idea of a second book after his bestseller Spare, but the focus has now switched to Meghan.”

SOURCE: MEGAKing Charles III is reportedly concerned the Duchess of Sussex ‘could write a memoir.’

Quinn predicts that Her Royal Highness will likely try and tie the tell-all into her new lifestyle brand. “For all her efforts to make a success of her new online business, America Riviera Orchard, Meghan knows that a personal memoir of her time in the U.K. as a working royal would sell millions of copies and make her the sort of money she craves.”

He continued: “She is also acutely aware that such a book would only boost traffic to her new online business. All this fills King Charles with horror because Harry is bound to be a major contributor to the book.”

Other analysts take a more direct approach by not insinuating that the “meeting” was an example of the palace in “stealth mode” to ensure the world knows they intended this to be a “snub.”

SOURCE: MEGAKing Charles is believed to be the only senior royal who speaks with the Sussex family.

“This will be seen as a snub,” royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams explained. “There is little doubt that this was not arranged as it should have been as King Charles has always made it clear that his door is open to Harry.”

Harry famously flew to visit his dad on February 6 after the sovereign revealed his cancer diagnosis to the world the day before. Some reports claim the Duke and monarch met for an hour, some say 45 minutes, and others claim the actual sit-down meeting lasted a mere 12 minutes.

“Their meeting after the King’s diagnosis was extremely brief and we do not know how well it went,” Fitzwilliams added.

Perhaps His Majesty was also worried that the first meeting was “taped” and would become fodder for more tell-alls…

PRINCE HARRY IS ‘HURT AND DISAPPOINTED’ ABOUT SCRAPPED REUNION WITH KING CHARLES

SOURCE: MEGA

Prince Harry returned to the U.K. for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, but the Duke of Sussex didn’t meet with his father, King Charles. The duo hasn’t been reunited since Harry’s February trip to London, and royal experts think Harry is hurting over their tense relationship.

SOURCE: MEGAPrince Harry returned to the U.K. to celebrate the Invictus Games.

“He hasn’t got many other plans,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told an outlet. “He was, of course, hoping to see his family. Possibly that’s why the trip was three days… but as we now know, there will be no family meetings.”

“I think certainly the fact that time hasn’t been made over these three days for father and son to have some sort of meeting — when you consider their last meeting was just about 30 or 40 minutes when Harry flew all the way from California to see his father — certainly fuels that narrative of a rift,” she added.

SOURCE: MEGAKing Charles was unable to see Harry during his U.K. visit.

Since Charles’ coronation, Harry has gone to his native nation without his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

“He very much wants to be close to his son again and to see more of his grandchildren, who he’s barely seen since they were born,” Nicholl said of the King’s wishes.

SOURCE: MEGAPrince Harry typically travels to the U.K. without his wife and kids.

Aside from Harry’s youngsters growing up without the Windsors, the duke’s various tell-alls continue to impact his ties to the royal fold.

“There is a sense of surprise that he hasn’t made time to see his son,” the biographer shared of Charles’ schedule being too full.

According to Nicholl, the “fundamental issue” is “this breakdown of trust between Harry and the family.”

SOURCE: MEGAPrince Harry will meet up with Meghan Markle in Nigeria.

Prior to leaving the U.K., Harry often attended events alongside Charles and his brother, Prince William, but Nicholl thinks it will take time for the unit to reunite.

“Clearly, there are still some pretty major trust issues and concerns on Charles’ part that any private meetings or conversations that he has with his son may not stay private for long,” she said. “I think Harry’s going to have to work really quite hard to repair some of that trust before he’s going to get a sort of privileged audience with his father.”

“There is just a feeling of of disappointment, certainly on Harry’s part, and genuine sadness that he hasn’t got to see his father,” she noted.

 

A rep for Harry confirmed that he wouldn’t see Charles while in the U.K., but Nicholl believes the veteran wants to see Charles as he undergoes cancer treatment.

“When you take away the rift and who they are in terms of the royal family, they are a family, and Harry’s gone through an awful lot since finding out his father’s been diagnosed with cancer,” Nicholl stated. “He’s all those miles away, understandably very worried about his papa, as he calls him, and he is here for three days.”

“I think it was very much his hope that he’d get to see his father. I’m told he’s rather hurt and quite disappointed that he hasn’t had that opportunity,” the journalist continued.

Although Harry’s time with his relatives is minimal, many royalists expected Charles’ health challenges to help the Sussexes end their feud — but it doesn’t look like that is possible right now.

“Harry has said that he had hoped that, out of the adversity of his father’s illness, he would reunify with the family. It’s clearly very much his intention,” Nicholl explained. “My understanding is the king also wants to sort of rekindle his relationship with his son.”

“He loves his son. He’s a very forgiving man. I think he certainly wants to move on. While time hasn’t been made available on this particular trip, it’ll certainly be the king’s hope that he will get to see Harry and his family at some point later this year,” she concluded.

A BODY language expert has said that Meghan Markle “mimicked a child asking to be picked up and cuddled” during a Netflix shoot.

Meghan was snapped alongside polo star Nacho Figueras and his family as part of a filming day for Prince Harry’s upcoming documentary about the sport.

Body language expert Judi James said that the Duchess of Sussex’s display alongside the Argentine model dubbed the ‘David Beckham of polo’, and his wife was “intensely affectionate” and a “rare illustration” of how she is around friends.

Judi explained: “‘The joys of friendship’ is said to be one of Meghan’s new Netflix shows so this body language display seems to coincide nicely with the theme.

“Meghan is known for her tactile displays and PDAs with Harry and people she supports or meets with her campaigns and causes but this is a rare illustration of her non-verbal behaviour in a more friendship-based role.

“As she approaches Nacho’s wife Delfina for a hug she extends her arms fully and holds them out rigidly in an announcement or intentional ritual that suggests intense warmth.

“The gesture is rather sweet because it is one that mimics a small child asking to be picked up and cuddled.”

And it didn’t end there, added Judi, as the pair’s “friendship rituals” were just as strong as they strolled together around the filming location in Palm Beach, Florida.

She went on: “Their smiles aren’t visible to each other but both look reflective and, as Meghan might say, ‘Joyful’.

“Their heads lean together in a gesture of trust and like-minded thinking and their arms are round each other’s torsos.”

Meghan’s encounter with Nacho was equally good-spirited even, suggests Judi, extending beyond the realms of friendship.

The expert continued: “Meghan’s greeting ritual with Nacho is also warm, more like a family ritual.

“They stand further apart but engage in eye contact with their hands on each other’s arms to make the conversation look meaningful.

“Even Meghan’s hug with their daughter is more of a close family gesture.

“Despite the fact the girl has her hands full, Meghan wraps her arms around her and even kisses her on the head.”

It seems Meghan has a long-standing friendship with the Figueras family, with Delfina (known by her maiden name Blaquier) praising her warmly in a 2022 interview.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, the businesswoman and former athlete said: “[Meghan] is so wonderful and strong.

“Stronger than she knows. I love being around my friends, and I will always support her.”

The couple also attended the Sussexes’ wedding ceremony at Windsor Castle in 2018.

The shoot comes after an awkward moment during the Miami polo tournament, where Meghan was spotted telling a woman not to pose next to Harry.

The pair also shared a loved-up moment as they kissed in front of the cameras at the trophy presentation.

King Charles III chose to honor his “working” family members in recent days while totally “snubbing” his estranged, visiting youngest son, Prince Harry.

“I think it [is] very sad [that] Harry, celebrating this incredible achievement of the Invictus Games, has not met his family,” veteran royal reporter Jennie Bond shared about the Duke’s Wednesday, May 8, appearance at St Paul’s Catedral. “There was no one from the actual family, the Windsor side, but at least he has some Spencer support, and approval and I thought that was nice.”

“I was, I have to confess, gobsmacked when I learned that there was to be no meeting between Harry and his father,” she added. “I was sure that they would find a lot of time actually, but never mind a lot of time, at least a chance to have a cup of tea or an evening drink or breakfast together or something. There must have been a time in the King’s schedule for that.”

Bond continued: “I know he has lots of appointments, it’s true, and I know he’s undergoing cancer treatment, but nevertheless, this is a very pointed statement. I think to Harry: ‘You’ve made your bed, I’m afraid you’ve got to lie on.’”

The 75-year-old King, who is still receiving cancer treatments, was busy on the day Harry’s Invictus Games were celebrated at St Paul’s Cathedral. His Majesty attended the first Buckingham Palace Garden Party of the season, which requires chatting with numerous guests.

To make matters worse for the California Duke, Prince William was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, which many claim was surely a sore point for the battle-worn, fiery-haired prince who served on the frontline during the War in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021.

“For many years he served two tours in Afghanistan,” royal expert Katie Nicholl told an outlet. “You know, the timing is curious. I think many people will see that as a bit of a snub, really, from the palace, and perhaps a little bit of a poke in the ribs to Prince Harry.”

“I think probably it’s a sense of loyalty to William and to Catherine and to Camilla, all of whom have been on the sharp end of Harry’s tongue,” Bond observed when taking into account the military award and Harry snub. “I thought at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh, at the funeral of The Queen, surely those would have been occasions for the family to come together. It didn’t happen then, it’s not happening now even with this cancer treatment.”

The expert then concluded: “I think it’s very sad and I must admit in my bones, I feel that Charles should have made time to see his younger son. I know we’ve talked about loyalty to his nearest and dearest, the working royals, his family. And I know he’s probably tired from his treatment.”

PRINCE William and Kate Middleton may be the picture of elegance in public, but they do have some very sweet and affectionate nicknames for each other.

The royal couple – who share Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – are celebrating their 13th wedding anniversary this month, after meeting at university.

Royal editor Ingrid Seward told The Sun’s Royal Show that the Prince and Princess of Wales have some rather informal pet names for one another.

Speaking to The Sun’s Royal Correspondent Matt Wilkinson, she said: “Prince William was Big Willie, I think.

“Kate was Babykins, But people change their nicknames every time.”

Ingrid added that King Charles often refers to Queen Camilla as “darling” or “beloved.”

She added: “It’s really nice when he says ‘my beloved wife’, as he used to say with the Queen, ‘my beloved mother.’”

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who often show displays of affection during public outings, also have some sweet names for one another.

Ingrid added: “We know that Harry is ‘H’, and we know that Meghan is ‘Meg’, but there could be lots of other things.”

Meghan also has an unusual collection of family nicknames, being called “Flower” by her mum, “Bean” by her dad and is called “Tungsten” by Charles because she’s tough.

The Queen was always known as “Lilibet” because she couldn’t say her name Elizabeth when she was young, and the name was used as inspiration for Meghan and Harry’s daughter Lilibet.

The royal expert praised Prince William and Kate for having a “great relationship”, with the future king supporting his wife.

She said: “William and Kate together they have a great relationship.

“They’re quite touchy-feely, but not overly touchy-feely like Meghan and Harry, they don’t cling to each other.

“But occasionally they do and they laugh together. They laugh together a lot.

“William is very, very supportive of his wife and I know that Carol Middleton has said that to friends, ‘he’s so supportive of my daughter’, and she’s very sort of proud of him.

“It’s that mutual support they have with each other.”

William first laid eyes on his future wife as they moved into the same halls of residence, St Salvator’s – known to students as Sally’s.

The pair were both studying History of Art, but William would later swap to Geography.

It wasn’t long before the Prince would start to notice “attractive brunette” student Kate, who was dubbed by fellow students to be the “the prettiest girl in Sally’s’ during Fresher’s Week.”

Kate was even given the nickname “Beautiful Kate” by fellow students, which certainly helped to get William’s attention.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl said: “She was initially more reserved than many of the other young women, but her natural beauty was apparent.”

The pair spent increasing time together, and it was Kate’s cheeky sense of humour that captured William’s attention.

William opened up about their initial bond in 2011, saying: “We just spent more time with each other, had a good giggle, had lots of fun and realised we shared the same interests and just had a really good time.

“She’s got a really naughty sense of humour, which kind of helps me because I’ve got a really dry sense of humour, so it was good fun, we had a really good laugh and then things happened.”

He added that he “knew there was something very special” about Kate, and “there was possibly something I wanted to explore there.”

The couple tied the knot in 2011 and went on to have their three kids together.

Speaking to Grazia, Lucie Greene shared: “Certainly, they can’t monetise their drama any more.

“I think that has reached the end of the road.”

Royal attacks

This follows Prince Harry releasing his bombshell Spare memoir, where he claimed William ‘attacked’ him in a row over Meghan Markle and said Charles pleaded with Harry and William not to ‘make his final years a misery’.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also spilled details about the royal family in their Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary.

To the shock of many it told stories of Meghan’s “jarring” first meeting with Princess Kate and Harry making digs at his father.

One insider told The Sun that the couple have reached the end of the road with bashing the royals, and said: “That period of their life is over — as there is nothing left to say.”

Meg’s new venture

Meghan announced she is launching American Riviera Orchard last month, and teased it on Instagram.

A promotional video was released showing Meghan baking, plucking flowers and in a spectacular black dress.

And now several close pals have shared photos of their pre-launch baskets of branded jam surrounded by lemons, including fashion designer Tracy Robbins.

It is said the A-list area of California where Meghan and Harry live, Montecito, is known as the “American Riviera”, and is thought to be the inspiration behind the name.

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 home goods, such as cookbooks, food and kitchenware.

Certainly, they can’t monetise their drama any more

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.

The lifestyle page shared her travel, food, and fashion recommendations while she worked in the hit legal TV show Suits.

Lucie added: “She’s always modelled herself as a lifestyle curator.

“Some people seem to already want to hate this brand, but actually, I think it’s a very smart move for her.”

In addition to her American Riviera Orchard, we shared how the Duchess of Sussex is set to launch a new series on “cooking, gardening and friendship”.

Some people seem to already want to hate this brand, but actually, I think it’s a very smart move for her.

She and Harry have two untitled non-fiction projects in production.

The shows form part of the “creative partnership” Archewell Productions signed with the streaming giant in 2020.

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 first series will focus on Meghan and explore “the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship”, according to Deadline.

Primarily shot at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, the project will be produced by Boardwalk Pictures.
