Meghan Markle's Fashion Investment
Meghan Markle has unveiled her latest career move, investing in a female-run handbag company called Cesta Collective. The Duchess of Sussex, inspired by her time as a working royal, discovered the brand while online shopping and decided to make a minority stake investment.
Meghan's Power in Promoting Brands
In a rare interview with The New York Times, Meghan Markle shared how she realized her influence in promoting brands back in 2017. By wearing items from smaller, up-and-coming brands, she has the power to give them much-needed exposure. This isn't the first time Meghan has invested in brands, having previously backed ethical wellness brand Clevr Blends.
American Riviera Orchard Launch
Months after leaving the royal family, Meghan announced the launch of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. Despite creating buzz with an Instagram teaser video and sending out products to friends and influencers, the brand is yet to launch publicly. Rumors suggest that there have been staffing changes, with Prince Harry's chief-of-staff stepping down after just three months.
Challenges in the New Venture
As Meghan navigates her new business venture, challenges have arisen with staffing changes and delays in product launches. Despite setbacks, Meghan remains focused on her investment in Cesta Collective and the upcoming launch of American Riviera Orchard.
