Meghan launched American Riviera Orchard on March 14 while making her return to Instagram. In an Instagram Story, there was a video of the 42-year-old picking flowers and cooking in a kitchen. The clip was soundtracked by Nancy Wilson's "I Wish You Love".

Meanwhile, on its feed, Meghan only shared a grid post of the American Riviera Orchard logo. As for the bio for the account, it simply read, "By Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. Established 2024."

It looks like Meghan used the American Riviera Orchard's name to pay homage to Santa Barbara, the city where she lives with Prince Harry and their two children, 4-year-old son Prince Archie and 2-year-old daughter Princess Lilibet. Travel & Leisure stated that the California town has been known as the "American Riviera" for over 100 years "because of its temperate climate and lush landscapes, as well as its robust food and wine culture."
