There’s still a shroud of mystery surrounding Meghan Markle‘s new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, but new information has surfaced about what the duchess may have planned for the brand’s big reveal. While initial reports stated that Markle was going to focus on cookbooks in addition to “tableware, drinkware including decanters, kitchen linens, and edible treats such as jellies, jams, marmalade, and spreads,” there could be much more in store, including items to add to your beauty and skincare routines. Of course, when she dropped the brand’s official Instagram page and website on Mar. 14, she added a portal for fans to submit their email addresses to get more information.
People obtained documentation from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Mar. 9. The filings show that American Riviera Orchard plans to sell goods in “nearly every lifestyle lane,” including beauty and skin care. Markle’s application includes “Non-medicated skin care preparations; Bath and shower gels and salts not for medical purposes; Non-medicated hair preparations; Bath soap; Bar soap; Non-medicated hand soaps: Body creams: Bath oil: Body lotions; Cosmetics; Body oil; Scented oils; Air fragrance reed diffusers; Fragrances; Room fragrances; Incense.”

While the skincare and beauty are the most eye-catching details, the Mar. 9 trademark application spans so much more. Meghan’s filing also mentions “Jewelry; Lockets (jewelry); Jewelry dishes and ring holders.” If that wasn’t enough, there was also mention of wallpaper, pillows, furniture, picture frames, live flower arrangements, and seeds for planting. Pet products are also something that could come, as pet beds, food bowls, collars, and leashes were included, as well. Harry and Meghan have three dogs: Pula, Guy, and Mamma Mia.
A separate listing also names a slew of other lifestyle offerings, like “printed greeting cards and day planners, paper decorations, wrapping paper, photo albums, and calligraphy pens.” Meghan’s filings were listed by Mama Knows Best LLC, a company based in San Francisco.
Sources close to Meghan said that she’s “excited” about the new venture, telling People that it’s a way for her to showcase her authenticity and passions.
“Meghan finds the name American Riviera Orchard perfect. It feels authentic to her. She can’t wait for the website to launch,” a friend shared.
