The much-anticipated release date coincided with Kate's long-awaited comeback.
The Sussexes had always been fiercely protective of their children's privacy, going as far as to withhold the names of Archie's godparents. However, it's intriguing to learn that Archie and his sister, Princess Lili, recently became the focus of a glamorous photoshoot, orchestrated by one of Meghan's beloved photographers.
Richard Eden, reporting for The Daily Mail, disclosed that Jake Rosenberg, a New York-based photographer, journeyed to California earlier this month. There, he captured a series of captivating images of Meghan, both alone and in the company of her children. The photoshoot took place at Prince Harry and Meghan's opulent mansion in Montecito, coinciding perfectly with the launch of Meghan's lifestyle and cookery brand, American Riviera Orchard.
The venture was officially unveiled just last week through a glitzy Instagram video, showcasing Meghan bustling about in a rustic kitchen setting. Interestingly, the revelation came shortly after I reached out to Meghan's office for comment on her future plans. American Riviera Orchard will center around home, garden, food, and lifestyle products, Eden explained.
Rosenberg, originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, where Meghan spent six years filming the television series "Suits," has a history of photographing the Duchess. His website proudly boasts capturing the radiance and authenticity of talents such as Meghan, Oprah Winfrey, Priyanka Chopra, Cindy Crawford, David Beckham, and Michael Jordan through vibrant imagery.
Despite the limited visibility of Archie, who will soon celebrate his fifth birthday, and Lili, aged two, they were indeed featured in Netflix's documentary series about the Sussexes. A friend close to Meghan confirmed the recent photoshoot but emphasized that the portraits were intended for private family viewing. However, speculation arose that Megan might unveil the children when the timing aligns with significant events, such as Catherine's official reappearance.
Meghan has always maintained a keen interest in portraying an ideal family image, though some suggest this is more out of necessity than genuine protection. The possibility of seeing the Sussex children in a photoshoot, albeit possibly altered for privacy or aesthetic reasons, looms on the horizon. It's evident Meghan is meticulously crafting her brand and assets, perhaps signaling a shift in focus from her previous ventures.
