Meghan Markle is reportedly encountering significant difficulties in hiring a chef for her new venture, American Riviera Orchard.
According to a commentator, she is currently at an impasse. Meghan launched a lifestyle brand earlier this year, which now features its own Instagram page. However, details about the business remain sparse. American Riviera Orchard is anticipated to offer a range of lifestyle and home products, including crockery, pet items, and cooking utensils. Additionally, Meghan is said to be developing a new Netflix cooking show to complement the brand's launch.
In April, Meghan sent out 50 individually customized jars of strawberry jam to friends and social media influencers, but there has been little information on any new products since then. Royal expert Angela Levin told GBN America that Meghan is very upset about the current state of American Riviera Orchard. Levin noted that the jam was not well-received, with only a few of the 50 recipients responding. The situation has been described as being "in a jam," reflecting the project's lack of progress. Meghan has struggled to find a suitable CEO to run the business and a chef who meets her meticulous standards. Some chefs who visited the project were deterred by her demanding nature, despite their high qualifications and stable jobs. This has resulted in a stalemate.
Furthermore, Meghan has a significant number of items on her agenda and has applied for a global patent. Reports suggest that she is on the brink of a nervous breakdown, throwing tantrums over the failure of the jam business, which she expected to succeed quickly and with minimal effort. This mirrors her approach to royal duties, which required substantial work beyond photo opportunities. Investors in American Riviera Orchard have pulled out, highlighting the perceived mediocrity of Meghan's entrepreneurial attempts. Critics argue that she relied too heavily on her royal title to achieve instant fame, akin to the "if you build it, they will come" philosophy from Kevin Costner's movie.
Meghan's modus operandi seems evident, with her jam business fiasco casting doubt on her perceived intelligence. Her attempts to leverage celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Kris Jenner to promote the jam failed spectacularly. Some baskets sent to celebrities were returned to her agent, as they were not wanted, and Meghan did not include a return address, compelling recipients to keep them. This behavior underscores narcissistic tendencies, reminiscent of her calling Congress members on their private phones while withholding her own number.
Reflecting on her acting career, Meghan's ex-husband Trevor Engelson helped her secure roles in Hallmark movies, hoping to showcase her talent. However, she proved to be a below-average actress. Her current struggles with the jam business, Spotify, and potentially Netflix demonstrate her operating without the structure provided by the royal family. She believed that a title would open all doors, but it does not keep them open without effort. Her ventures fail because she refuses to put in the necessary work.
As the jam business falters, it is uncertain who Meghan will blame. She has reportedly tried to cozy up to Kevin Costner for movie roles, misunderstanding that success requires hard work, not just a title. Her approach, believing that a few pictures and a video in a ball gown would suffice to sell her jam, is out of touch with reality, especially given the current economic climate. Some believe she has been pursuing Kevin Costner for roles without comprehending the effort needed to succeed. Instead of learning from her failures, Meghan continues to rely on her title without the requisite hard work. Her ventures, from Spotify to Netflix, are faltering, and the jam business is yet another example of unrealistic expectations and a lack of effort.
