Meghan Markle has updated her American Riviera Orchard label, with a close friend, Nacho Figueras unveiling a new raspberry flavored jam from the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle brand. He also shared photos of his dog Nina Iggy next to a glass jar of dog treats, teasing that Markle will be selling them as well. Both the jam and dog treats have packaging similar to Markle’s existing American Riviera Orchard jam, featuring a small cursive label and a ribbon tying everything together.
The announcement of the new products came just before the royal family gathered for the annual Trooping of the Colour parade in England. Kate Middleton made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March, serving as the honorary colonel of the Irish Guards at the event. Middleton was joined by her husband, Prince William, and their children as they watched the parade before appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the royal family’s annual photo op.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were notably absent from the event for the second year in a row, following King Charles III ascending to the throne. The couple stepped down from their roles as senior members of the royal family in 2020, but were still present for the 2022 Trooping of the Colour parade at the allowance of Queen Elizabeth II. In March, Charles ordered that Harry and Markle’s bios be removed from the royal family’s website.
The royal family’s appearance at the Trooping of the Colour parade marked a triumphant return for Kate Middleton, who looked stunning in a white dress accented by a black and white bow, white cluster earrings, and a wide white hat. She watched the parade from the Major General’s Office alongside her family, including her husband and children. Middleton’s presence at the event comes after she took time off to focus on her health after her cancer diagnosis, making her return all the more special.
It was a joyous occasion for the royal family as they gathered for the annual event, with Middleton’s return being a focal point of the day. The appearance of the new products from Meghan Markle’s American Riviera Orchard label added an exciting element to the day, showcasing the continued success and evolution of Markle’s brand. While Harry and Meghan were not in attendance, their presence was still felt as the royal family came together for the parade and celebrations. The day was a reminder of the ongoing changes and developments within the royal family and the continued evolution of the monarchy in the modern age.
