Meghan Markle’s mother, Doria Ragland, is reportedly rubbing shoulders with LA’s elite momagers Tina Knowles and Kris Jenner, amidst the launch of Meghan’s new business venture.
Doria, 67, has been a pillar of support for Meghan and Prince Harry as they navigate their new life in the US with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
Recently, Doria was spotted at an art event in LA with her daughter and son-in-law, where she was seen beaming next to Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, in a newly-released photo.
This follows an occasion last August when Doria was photographed alongside Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian at a charity event in LA titled This Is About Humanity.
The trio appeared cosy as they embraced each other.
Last year, Hello! Magazine reported that Tina and Beyoncé had formed a new A-list friendship group during the Renaissance tour.
An insider from the tour revealed to the magazine that this ‘new clique’ included Kim and Kris, along with influential women such as Oprah Winfrey (a friend of the Sussexes) and Gayle King.
This news comes after Meghan discreetly launched her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, on Instagram last month, which has already amassed over 570,000 followers.
American Riviera Orchard is believed to be a lifestyle and cookery brand that will coincide with a new cooking show on Netflix.
It’s been hinted that Meghan could potentially earn a hefty six-figure sum in the initial weeks following the launch of American Riviera Orchard, although the exact date when the products will hit the market remains under wraps.
A confidant of Meghan disclosed to the Daily Mail: “Meghan is interviewing candidates for the CEO role at the moment.”
With only an Instagram presence and a teaser video released so far, American Riviera Orchard is anticipated to venture into homewares alongside makeup and skincare offerings. Meghan’s business aspirations are drawing parallels with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop empire, as she looks set to branch out into beauty and cosmetic lines with American Riviera Orchard.
The brand, which has extended its trademark application, is expected to encompass a diverse range of items including fragrances, body lotions, and haircare products.
While American Riviera Orchard has yet to officially announce its product lineup, speculation suggests that the brand will feature home decor essentials like marmalades and jams, as well as a variety of lifestyle goods such as dog shampoos and cosmetics, as indicated by recently filed trademark documents.
