Meghan Markle's ambitious plan to disrupt Kate's brother's business has hit a snag as Marco fails to secure a CEO for selling dog food.
While Mrs. Sussex aims to rival Princess Katherine's brother in the business arena, recent developments suggest her aspirations might be facing obstacles. Earlier this month, Meghan excited fans with a new Instagram account hinting at her entrepreneurial venture. It appears she's gearing up to launch "American Riviera Orchard," a lifestyle brand rooted in the grandeur of a Montecito mansion.
Reports indicate Meghan has filed papers to trademark the initials of her new enterprise, encompassing a range of products from dog treats to birdseed. The move sets the stage for a showdown with Princess Diana's brother, James Middleton, who runs the upscale dog food business "James and Ella."
Despite Meghan's determination to outshine her sister-in-law's family, experts caution that James Middleton's business holds a longer operational history. While Meghan's product listings suggest a grand scheme, doubts linger over whether they'll ever reach the market.
Her alleged plot to overthrow industry stalwarts like Martha Stewart appears far-fetched, with conspiracy theories often failing to materialize. James Middleton's business ethos, inspired by his own battle with depression and his dogs' role in his recovery, underscores a commitment to canine well-being. In contrast, Meghan's spokesperson touts her year-long dedication to her passion project, emphasizing its alignment with her personal values.
Meghan's trademark application, unveiled by the Daily Mail, hints at a comprehensive product range, raising comparisons to Walmart's extensive offerings. However, skepticism abounds over Meghan's ability to execute her vision, especially given her history of lackluster launches and empty promises.
The absence of tangible progress, coupled with the search for a CEO, suggests her venture remains months away from fruition. Critics argue that Meghan's scattered approach to branding, coupled with trademark application delays, undermines her credibility in the business sphere. As the clock resets with each fanciful addition to her product lineup, doubts persist over whether Meghan can establish herself as a serious contender in the market.
