Meghan Markle is reportedly ready to strike out solo with her latest venture, setting her sights on a new beauty empire. The Duchess of Sussex appears poised to launch her very own makeup and beauty line under her growing lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, signaling a bold step into the business world.
According to insiders, while her previous projects often featured husband Prince Harry, this new endeavor will be a strictly Meghan mission.
“She’d love for Harry to be involved in whatever she’s doing, but that’s not how it’s played out, so this is something she’ll have to do by herself. She’s prepared to go it alone and will stop at nothing to make a success of it,” a source told OK! magazine.
Experts suggest Meghan is taking inspiration from Victoria Beckham and the Kardashians, women who have successfully turned personal brands into global empires. PR strategist Dermot McNamara explained,
“Meghan has always been strategic when it comes to brand building. The US has embraced her as a lifestyle tastemaker, and launching a beauty line would be a natural next step.”
The buzz around Meghan’s beauty ambitions intensified after she was spotted mingling with Kim Kardashian’s inner circle at a glitzy all-female summit in Los Angeles, hosted by fashion mogul Emma Grede of Skims and Good American.
Meghan has also been dropping subtle hints about the new venture, posting clips of herself applying lipstick while cleverly concealing the brand. According to McNamara, these deliberate gestures position her as relatable, hands-on, and creative—qualities that resonate strongly with beauty audiences.
“Fans buy into personality as much as product,” McNamara added. “And the Duchess is taking ownership of both.”
With this ambitious move, Meghan Markle is preparing to solidify her status not only as a royal influencer but also as a solo entrepreneur in the beauty industry, blending strategy, glamour, and relatability in true Meghan fashion.
