Prince Harry Is Supportive of Wife Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard Lifestyle Brand—but Likely Has Reservations About This Aspect of the Business, Royal Author Says

Meghan Markle.

As Meghan Markle prepares to launch her new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, royal author Tom Quinn said that her husband, Prince Harry, is likely “uncomfortable” with one aspect of the business. “While devoted Harry totally supports Meghan, there’s one aspect he is not too sure about,” The Mirror writes.

“Harry thinks the new brand is a great idea because it’s Meghan’s idea—he’s still so loved up that she can do no wrong in his eyes,” Quinn said. “But we have to remember that he grew up in a family that would’ve looked down on this kind of commercial enterprise, so there is a part of Harry that’s uncomfortable, which is why we are unlikely to see Harry personally baking cakes or demonstrating kitchen utensils.”

Meghan reportedly spent “over a year” working on American Riviera Orchard, and the brand comprises “all the things that are close to her heart, all the things she is passionate about,” a source said.

Uncomfortable though he may allegedly be, royal commentator Richard Eden said, per The Mirror, that ever-supportive Harry will join Meghan as she sets out to make sure her business is successful, likely appearing more in public than she has in years past.
