Duchess Meghan has posted an ad on her new Instagram business page, giving us a glimpse into her kitchen.
The former senior royal, 42, launched her American Riviera Orchard brand earlier today. It has been in the works for a year and is said to feature “all things close to her heart”.
So far, the page consists of just nine posts and boasts an imposing company logo with intertwined letters A and R in a gold cursive font.
However, this story includes a video that gives viewers a hint of what to expect.
Among the images shared on Stories is one of Meghan cooking in a kitchen filled with high-end lifestyle kitchenware. Some items look like they're part of your kitchen, while others look like they're branded products.
1. Designer bakeware
In the video, Meghan appears to be stirring something in a bowl. A large ceramic bowl is placed nearby.
The rustic-looking, pale cream-colored bowl appears to feature a textured design, and could be one of the items Meghan Markle sells.
2. Spread and butter
It is believed that a selection of spreads will also be among the products sold through American Riviera Orchard.
These are thought to include nut butters, preserves, preserves and other dairy-based spreads.
The video shows Meghan stirring what appears to be a spread from one of the many small containers surrounding her.
3. Metal decanter
At a stylish dinner party, offer your guests delicious options like olive oil and other dressings.
A bronze bottle placed on a wooden sideboard appears to be in the form of a serving bottle or decanter. Perhaps part of Meghan's lifestyle list?
4. Servingware
For those who do not want to fill their dining table with various jars of seasonings and aromatics, there is nothing better than a small bowl that can be used as a tableware.
These small pieces can be used alongside larger plates and bowls when creating visually appealing meals.
5. Metal fruit stand
One piece that stands out in the video is an ornate metal stand in a color similar to bronze or copper.
In the video, it's filled with yellow fruit (presumably local lemons), but this spectacular centerpiece can be used to hold a variety of items.
6. Plate
Meghan is thought to sell plates under her own brand, with a square-shaped white plate balancing on a prep station.
Neutral colors are likely to be popular, such as beige, cream, and other neutrals, giving us a hint as to what kind of shades the Duchess will choose when it comes to products.
7. Glass decanter
The sideboard appears to have a glass decanter as well as a metal decanter.
This is ideal for serving water and other soft drinks. Or perhaps it could be used for a wine to decant and let cool before a meal.
8. Various serving bowls
Another clue that the brand may offer a large selection of tableware is the collection of small bowls in neutral colors that surround Meghan as she cooks.
There seemed to be a number of bowls of various sizes and colors, with one small pale blue piece alongside cream, white and beige items.
9. Metal charger
Another copper item in the kitchen appears to be a charger. This is a large decorative plate used as a stand for other foods.
Chargers are usually not eaten directly, but provide a decorative touch when serving various dishes.
10. Dinnerware
Not far from the charger is another metal, much smaller plate that looks like another piece of dinnerware.
This luxury lifestyle brand certainly seems to be targeting people who want to make a good impression when hosting.
11. Drinkware
Of course, in addition to dining wear, drinkware is also essential.
Sitting in the corner of the workbench is an oversized mug, probably made of glass, that would pair well with other neutral-colored items.
12. Cloth napkins
Behind Meghan, there appears to be a pile of light-colored fabric, perhaps linen napkins?
The material appears to be a light cream color, and the napkins are also thought to be one of the items sold by the same brand.
13. Cookbook
Inside every plate, bowl, and other utensil, there seems to be a book sitting almost imperceptibly.
Given that Duchess Meghan's love of food is well known and her kitchen utensils are well-stocked, could this be a recipe book?
14. Copper pot
Copper pots are a must-have for any professional or serious amateur cook.
This special metal conducts heat evenly, making it highly responsive to the chef's needs.
In addition, the attractive metal color becomes an additional design feature in the kitchen.
Moreover, hanging pots can not only save storage space but also add decoration to dead spaces.
15. Exposed brickwork
Always a special architectural feature, this room has exposed brick walls, always a stylish trend.
Depending on how you use exposed brick, you can add different looks to your room (for example, industrial).
In this kitchen, muted colors and wooden furniture give the room a rustic feel.
16. Range cooker
A range cooker is a must in any high-end kitchen, and Meghan Markle is no exception.
There is a silver medium-sized microwave cooker against the back wall of the room.
There appear to be eight gas cooking rings on the surface, meaning there's enough space to cook a variety of dishes at once.
“It's a lifestyle and culinary brand called American Riviera Orchard,” a source told the Daily Mail about the brand.
“The brand was created to coincide with the launch of Netflix's new cooking show. Meghan will be producing and selling products such as jam.
“And someday a book or blog or something will be published.”
The brand will focus on home, garden, food, and general lifestyle products.
The gorgeous video appears alongside a series of nine cryptic Instagram posts that make up the brand's logo alongside the name “American Riviera Orchard Montecito.”
Comments are disabled on the Instagram post, and the page links to a new website of the same name where users can enter their email address to “join the waitlist.”
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam told MailOnline: “In my opinion, the Sussexes are no coincidence and timing is often very important.” We discovered it over the weekend, but we're reminded now that there may be more shots in their lockers than some of us thought. And it's no coincidence.
“For years they have been unpredictable, but in a sense they have been predictable. It's the unerring timing when they believe it is beneficial to release the information.” It's no coincidence either. ”
Meghan Markle's new venture is said to have been in the works for quite some time, and there were rumors last year that she would be announcing a commercial venture that would be “true to who she is.''
Sources claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's future projects “reflect their different professional interests and talents and are the result of deep thinking about their future directions and careers.”
A source said, “Both of them are working on their own things.'' They fully support each other's concepts and ideas, but are different from each other.
