Los Angeles, California – Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, has been creating a buzz among her celebrity friends. A number of stars, including Mindy Kaling and Tracee Ellis Ross, have shared their excitement on social media after receiving exclusive jam jars from the Duchess of Sussex.
Kaling, known for her role in “The Office,” took to Instagram to express her admiration for the strawberry jelly she received from Markle. Meanwhile, Ross, the daughter of Diana Ross, also received a package from American Riviera Orchard, which included a bag of fresh lemons.
The bond between Kaling and the Sussexes goes back a few years, with the actress even appearing on Markle’s podcast in 2022. Recently, Kaling joined Prince Harry in hosting a “Beyond Burnout” session at a summit organized by the life coaching app BetterUp, where they discussed topics related to leadership and creativity.
As for Ross, it remains unclear when she and Markle first crossed paths, but the two attended a Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles last summer. Despite their friendship being relatively new, they seem to share a strong connection.
Designer Tracy Robbins, who got to know Markle at a film premiere in Jamaica, also received a special gift from the Duchess. Additionally, Argentinian model Delfina Blaquier, the wife of one of Prince Harry’s close friends, was among the recipients of a jam jar from American Riviera Orchard.
Markle, who unveiled her lifestyle brand last month, chose the name as a homage to Santa Barbara, where she resides with her husband and children. The brand’s website, while currently blank, hints at future offerings such as tableware, kitchen linens, and various edible treats like jellies and jams.
Overall, the launch of American Riviera Orchard has sparked excitement among Markle’s friends and followers, showcasing her passion for quality and elegance in the products she offers through her brand.
