Meghan Markle has officially taken on the role of CEO of American Riviera Orchard (ARO), her lifestyle brand, despite initially seeking to appoint someone else to lead the company. According to sources, Meghan’s search for a qualified CEO did not meet her standards, prompting her to step in herself. Although no formal announcement has been made, insiders confirm that she has now fully embraced the leadership role.
Despite the lack of an official announcement, Meghan has been making significant moves behind the scenes, including approaching Netflix for a potential partnership. This collaboration would involve Netflix helping to run the business and possibly installing its own CEO to manage operations. If this partnership materializes, it’s possible that Meghan could be replaced as CEO, though her wealth and influence would likely make her less concerned about such a change.
The journey to launch ARO hasn’t been without challenges. The company has faced trademark issues, with Meghan’s team recently filing for an extension from the US Patent and Trademark Office. However, Meghan and her team remain optimistic about the brand’s future, with sources indicating that big things are expected in 2025. Despite the setbacks, Meghan’s passion and determination suggest that ARO has the potential for success.
