Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have recently experienced several significant developments regarding their public image and business ventures. Meghan launched her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, and faced mixed reactions, including criticism over the brand name. Despite this, she remains confident, with plans to incorporate a cooking show on Netflix as part of the brand. The launch of Meghan’s lifestyle blog and the potential for a book are in line with her efforts to expand her brand beyond her royal roots, emphasizing her home in Santa Barbara, California.

The couple’s positioning on the Royal Family’s official website has been adjusted, placing their bios lower on the page, which has sparked speculation about their relationship with the Royal Family. Additionally, there’s speculation about Prince Harry’s visa status in the US, with concerns raised following former US President Donald Trump’s comments about consequences for potentially misstated past drug use on visa applications.

Despite facing criticism, Harry and Meghan are reportedly planning a return to the UK to strengthen their brand and improve relations with the Royal Family and the public. Their popularity has seen fluctuations, with recent commentary labeling them as the “worst kind of celebrity” in the US due to their perceived lecturing and privileged status.

Meghan offered a rare glimpse into their Montecito mansion, showcasing a personal side of their lives through her brand’s promotional material. The couple’s ventures and public image adjustments continue to attract attention, amid ongoing discussions about their place within the Royal Family and future plans in both the UK and the US.
