The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has recently unveiled plans to launch a culinary series on the streaming platform Netflix, in collaboration with her newly established lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. This development has garnered significant attention and sparked a sense of surprise among royal enthusiasts.
Reports indicate that Meghan Markle is actively preparing for the forthcoming cookery show on Netflix, which is anticipated to serve as a platform to showcase products from her recently unveiled lifestyle venture. The American Riviera Orchard brand encompasses a diverse range of offerings, including homewares such as crockery, table linens, and glassware, as well as a line of nut butters, jams, conserves, and oils.
However, it is noteworthy that there have been reports of alleged disagreements between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry regarding the involvement of their children in the upcoming Netflix show. While the specifics of these purported disagreements remain undisclosed, the matter has undoubtedly piqued the interest of royal observers.
As Meghan Markle continues to expand her entrepreneurial endeavors, her foray into the culinary realm through this Netflix series represents a significant milestone in her post-royal pursuits, further solidifying her position as a multifaceted public figure.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are reportedly engaged in discussions regarding the potential inclusion of their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in their forthcoming Netflix production. It is alleged that the Duchess draws inspiration from her sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, who frequently incorporates her offspring, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, into public engagements she attends. Conversely, the Duke is purportedly averse to the notion of involving his young children in the Netflix endeavor, preferring to shield them from the public spotlight.
According to a source cited by OK! magazine, the Duke’s stance stems from his adverse experiences with media intrusion into his personal life and that of his late mother, Princess Diana. This divergence of perspectives has reportedly led to a disagreement between the couple, with the Duchess advocating for the inclusion of their children as a means of showcasing her role as a mother, a significant aspect of her life. The insider further elaborated that the Duchess comprehends the Duke’s perspective, given his traumatic childhood experiences, and respects his desire to safeguard their offspring. Nonetheless, she purportedly endeavors to persuade him that being in the public eye is not inherently detrimental and that he should not allow his past experiences to dictate his present outlook.
While acknowledging that Archie and Lilibet find themselves in a unique situation due to their parentage, the source asserts that Meghan Markle aims to demonstrate to Prince Harry that they can involve their children in their professional endeavors, as anonymity is an improbable prospect for them. The source further elaborated, “Meghan is hopeful that Harry will soon embrace her proposed plans.”
Regarding their forthcoming projects, limited information is available beyond reports that one show will “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship,” according to Deadline. Additionally, the couple is working on another program for Netflix that delves into the historical significance of polo, a sport that Prince Harry has been an avid enthusiast of throughout his life.
