Tribune News Service

Meghan Markle fans may finally be able to enjoy a taste of her luxury lifestyle in the US town of Montecito, specifically her American Riviera Orchard jam that she teased nearly a year ago – even though she did not seem to have any products ready to sell.
A newspaper report said that jars of Meghan’s jam, as well as some of her other food and lifestyle products, will be sold at new bricks-and-mortar stores that Netflix is opening up in two mega-malls in the US states of Pennsylvania and Texas.
The streaming service announced in June 2024 that it would open “entertainment venues” called Netflix Houses in King of Prussia, in Pennsylvania, and Dallas, in Texas, in 2025.
The launch of Meghan’s products in the Netflix Houses would coincide with the venue openings, as well as the release of her Netflix cooking show, With Love, Meghan, the source said.


The show was supposed to begin airing on January 15, but Meghan and Netflix decided to delay its release until March 4, because of the deadly Los Angeles wildfires in California.
This week, Meghan is in British Columbia, in Canada, with her husband, Prince Harry, as he presides over the winter Invictus Games, the international sporting competition that he helped create for wounded veterans and servicemen and women.
“This is make or break for Meghan,” the source said about the launch of her products in the Netflix stores. “Her new show is rolling out the same time as the Netflix stores open.”
Netflix announced that its Netflix Houses will let people indulge in “immersive experiences” related to their favourite Netflix shows.
For example, people will be able to “waltz” to an orchestral cover of a Taylor Swift song on a replica of a Bridgerton set or compete in challenges from Squid Games. The venues also will sell Stranger Things merchandise.
The venues will also include cafes that serve food inspired by favourite shows, Netflix said. Presumably, the Duchess of Sussex’s jam could be served or sold at the cafes, along with her olive oil, coffee or tea. Desserts or meals viewers see served on her show could perhaps also be on the cafe menus.

But how well Meghan’s products sell at these Netflix locations could determine the American former television actor’s future with the streaming service or her success as an influencer and lifestyle guru, the source said.
“This will determine the future for Meghan as a businesswoman,” the source said. “Let’s face it, she hasn’t been that successful so far.”
So far, her commercial endeavours have not fared too well – not since she and Harry left British royal life in 2020 and moved to the United States to pursue careers as media moguls and global do-gooders.
They signed a reported US$20 million deal with Spotify to produce uplifting, informative podcasts, but Meghan only managed to release one 12-episode series called Archetypes.
Their reported US$100 million deal with Netflix initially turned out to be more successful, with the blockbuster ratings for their 2022 Harry and Meghan docuseries. But critics said viewers only watched because they wanted to hear the couple dish dirt about royal life and Harry’s famous relatives.


Their subsequent Netflix projects, which featured no royal gossip, barely registered or were critically savaged, notably their recent docuseries Polo, about Harry’s rich polo-playing friends.
Meghan’s cooking show, With Love, Meghan, reportedly got little mention at Netflix’s event in Los Angeles in late January to announce the service’s 2025 programming. US magazine Vanity Fair had also just published a lengthy story about Meghan and Harry’s “American Hustle”, which, among other things, portrayed Meghan as bullying her subordinates at Spotify and Netflix.
US comedian John Mulaney also got in a dig at the duo’s content-creator aspirations when he talked about his own coming talk show, Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and its vague premise of having guests engage in freewheeling conversation.
Mulaney praised Netflix for believing in his show. “This is a really fun experiment,” he added. “Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.”
Mulaney, of course, was referring to Netflix signing a splashy, five-year deal with Meghan and Harry to make documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming. Netflix made this deal with the Sussexes, despite that they had zero experience in developing or producing films or television shows.

So now, Netflix is waiting to see if Meghan’s lifestyle show succeeds, though sources suggest that the show will not include any actual recipes, according to the Daily Beast. Instead, it offers a “magical and beautiful guide to hosting and entertaining”, with Meghan entertaining her celebrity friends.
As for Meghan’s lifestyle brand, Netflix’s reported willingness to begin selling her products at its stores raises the question of whether American Riviera Orchard has already cleared some of the trademark hurdles that have reportedly delayed the brand’s launch.
The newspaper report did not address the issues the brand has had with the US Patent and Trademark Office. As recently as November, Meghan’s brand was hit with a “protest” from Harry and David, a US gift-box company, which said that the name American Riviera Orchard was too similar to the trademark given to their “Royal Riviera” brand of pears that it grows and sells during the holidays.
