Duchess Meghan makes Instagram returnamid Princess Kate photo editing incident
The news comes after Meghan soft-launched a lifestyle brand called American Riviera Orchard last month. She also returned to Instagram for the first time in four years with an Instagram account by the same name (@americanrivieraorchard), featuring nine posts laid out on its grid to say American Riviera Orchard Montecito.
Montecito, California is famously where Meghan and Harry purchased a home in the coastal enclave after exiting the Royal Family in early January 2020. Meghan is a California native, and the pair now raise their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, there.
According to trademark documents, American Riviera Orchard would apply to online and retail stores with a slew of lifestyle products ranging from jams and jellies to tablecloths and tableware.
A grainy Instagram story video for the brand featured music by the late jazz singer Nancy Wilson's "I Wish You Love" with vignettes of the duchess arranging flowers and cooking in the kitchen at what appears to be her home with Harry in Montecito.
In March, Meghan made a rare public appearance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, to speak on a panel titled "Breaking Barriers, Shaping Narratives: How Women Lead On and Off the Screen" alongside former "Today" anchor Katie Couric and actress Brooke Shields.

Meghan and Harry released statement about their in-law's health diagnosis. "We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace," the two said at the time.
