Meghan Markle is tipped to return to public life in the new year with a big comeback, reports have claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex announced some of her projects earlier this year – including her lifestyle brand Amerian Riviera Orchard (ARO) and Netflix cooking show – however after their announcement no further updates have been issued.
Meghan sent samples of some of the products to be sold under her brand, namely jam jars and dog biscuits, to various influencer friends who then posted them on social media, but the launch of ARO has been delayed by various setbacks regarding its trademark.
Meanwhile her cooking show for Netflix, which is set to coincide with the launch of her brand, has still not had its release date announced, even though the filming for it is thought to have wrapped up in the summer.
But now a source close to Meghan said the duchess is fully bracing to come back to public life with a bang in the new year, adding that she’s “been keeping her cards close to her chest”.
They told Page Six: “As far as Meghan being quiet, she’s been in the background working on her entrepreneurial efforts.
“Both the Netflix project and her brand will come out within the same timeline in the New Year.”
They added: “It’s going to be a good year for Meghan specifically, she’s spent the majority of the year doing work behind the scenes to launch a project in the first few months of 2025.”
It comes as Tom Sykes, European editor for The Daily Beast, reported that Hollywood has turned its back on the duchess after the “rumours that some power players in Hollywood who were formerly enamoured of the couple will no longer take Meghan’s calls personally”.
While Meghan may have been working on a number of projects this year, her overall success in Hollywood after leaving the Royal Family in 2020 has come into question after a series of failed attempts, the Times reports.
Paula Froelich, NewsNation’s entertainment correspondent and editor told the Times: “This is what happens when you haven’t actually made money — you fall [down] the totem pole of importance.
“People in LA roll their eyes at them [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle].”
