Meghan Markle sparks confusion as Netflix trailer has glaring detail missing
Share:
After months of anticipation, Meghan Markle has finally offered a first glimpse at her brand new Netflix show. In a trailer for the eight-part series called With Love, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex is seen inviting friends and famous guests to a California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips. It was announced a day after she made a shock return to Instagram for the first time since 2020, with Prince Harry also landing a fleeting cameo in the new promo for the show, which premieres on January 15.
However, many who have watched the trailer in detail have been left baffled by one huge project that seems to have been omitted from the trailer. It had previously been reported that Meghan's cooking show would go hand in hand with her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard (ARO), which was launched last March.
At the time, a new website and Instagram page for ARO were unveiled to much fanfare, with a trademark application showing she intended to sell jams, spreads and other homeware goods. But despite the initial announcement, her wares have been shared only with celebrity friends, who showcased her ARO jam on social media in April.
So far, products have not been available yet to buy on the site and in recent months she has faced difficulty in acquiring a trademark. And with the ARO Instagram account yet to post and Meghan now starting to post on another account, many have taken to social media to voice their confusion and ask if ARO is still coming.
One enquired on X: "Didn't she start an IG account under American Riviera Orchard? Or does that not count?" While another pondered: "Why no mention of American Riviera Orchard?" And another asked: "Wasn't that what her American Riviera Orchard IG account was supposed to be about?".
