Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, recently extended her generosity by gifting more of her American Riviera Orchard products to Nacho Figueras, a close friend of Prince Harry.
This gesture came amidst reports of the brand facing challenges in meeting expected performance levels.
In a thoughtful gesture, Meghan included jars of delectable treats, not forgetting to send some for Nacho’s beloved dog.
The visually appealing American Riviera Orchard branded products found their way onto Nacho’s Instagram page, where he shared the delightful gift of jam and dog biscuits from Meghan.
The launch of Meghan’s eagerly anticipated lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, failed to generate significant buzz among A-list celebrities, according to expert analysis.
The brand made its initial appearance in March, with an Instagram account unveiling the venture before sharing a logo and a rustic promotional video.
Subsequently, a website was launched, featuring minimal content aside from the logo and an option for visitors to sign up for email updates.
Following a period of silence, Meghan surprised 50 influencers with strawberry jam, only to retreat into silence once again until the recent revelation of gifting raspberry preserve and dog biscuits to a friend.
Nacho Figueras, a renowned polo player and a longtime friend of Prince Harry, took to social media just hours before the Trooping the Colour event to showcase the American Riviera Orchard products he had received.
Displaying the newly launched jam and dog biscuits in elegant glass containers, Nacho expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture from Meghan.
The move to unveil new products on the same day as a prominent royal event raised eyebrows among observers, with royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressing skepticism about the timing and approach to marketing.
In an exclusive statement to the Mirror, Richard Fitzwilliams highlighted the lackluster reception of Meghan’s brand among influencers and emphasized the importance of securing support from A-list personalities for its success.
As Prince Harry and Meghan navigate their post-royal life in California, forging connections with prominent figures becomes crucial in elevating their public profile.
The couple’s relocation to Montecito has brought them into proximity with notable individuals like Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, Ellen DeGeneres, and Ariana Grande, signaling a shift towards a more celebrity-centric social circle.
Fitzwilliams underscored the significance of cultivating relationships with influential figures to enhance the couple’s visibility and impact, especially following their departure from royal duties.
The expert also alluded to the strained relationship between the Sussexes and the Beckhams, suggesting a possible fallout due to diverging paths within their respective circles.
The need for Harry and Meghan to establish new connections with A-list personalities remains a strategic imperative in shaping their public image and achieving the desired level of prominence in their post-royal endeavors.
