Meghan Markle Allegedly Wants King Charles To Approve of ARO

Meghan Markle is allegedly hoping for a royal endorsement of her upcoming products as the official launch of American Riviera Orchard draws near.

According to recent reports, Meghan is looking for support and is eager to receive the seal of approval from her father-in-law, King Charles III.

Meghan Markle has reportedly recruited her husband, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry, to get in contact with anyone he still has access to and try to make it happen.

The Duchess of Sussex has been teasing the launch of her American Riviera Orchard brand since March by sending a range of products, including jam jars and dog biscuits, to her celebrity and influencer pals, who share photos online to create buzz.

However, reports claim that the former “Suits” actress is not done clamoring for more support and is even gunning for King Charles’ endorsement.

“Meghan is looking for support wherever she can get it,” a source told OK! Magazine. “Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are at the top of her list, but she is shooting even higher and would love to get King Charles to give his stamp of approval.”

“She wants Harry to reach out to anyone in the family that he’s still got access to,” the insider continued. “She still believes that there is a lot more support for them inside the royal family than people let on, and thinks it would be foolish not to ask for help.”

The source added, “Despite all the drama, Meghan does not see why they should not be able to drum up some support and backing.”

According to the Daily Beast, Meghan has finished filming her Netflix cooking show, which was part of her and Harry’s $100 million deal with the streaming giants. The show will reportedly “celebrate the joys of cooking, gardening, entertaining, and friendship.”

A source told the news outlet that production “all went well, and it is in the can,” although there’s been no confirmation from Meghan or her camp.

While the title and release date haven’t been revealed, Meghan reportedly has expert support on the project, including Director Michale Steed from the Emmy-winning “Parts Unknown” and Leah Hariton, a producer on HBO’s cooking show “Selena + Chef,” which starred singer Selena Gomez.

Already, experts have begun to speculate on how well Meghan’s show will fare when it eventually debuts.

“I suspect it won’t be a car crash; there is too much riding on it, and she is being repped by the most powerful talent agency in the world, who will have gathered the right people around her,” PR consultant Mark Borkowski told the Daily Beast.

He added, “If she has listened and learnt and is comfortable in this new role as a kind of sub-Martha Stewart, sub-Oprah, this could be a relaunch to something new and interesting.”

Still, Borkowski acknowledged the possibility of the show being “another fail” but added that it wouldn’t matter because whatever she does will “always generate massive interest.”

Meghan and Harry sparked public outrage from some fans after the Duke of Sussex was selected as the winner of ESPY’s Pat Tillman Award for Service.

The event, hosted by ESPN, sought to recognize Harry’s contribution to the well-being of injured servicemen and veterans via his Invictus Games Foundation; however, critics have slammed the decision, with some arguing that he doesn’t deserve it.

Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield has also accused the couple of “collecting trophies” to “buy the public’s respect,” amid rumors that they’re looking to mend the soured relationship with the royal family.

“I see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle accepting more trophies for awards that I don’t understand what they’re for,” she told TalkTV.

Schofield continued, “I guess they’re trying to buy the public’s respect, they’re trying to buy good PR through networking and creating these opportunities to collect trophies for their mantle, but I think the public sees through these individuals.”

Harry and Meghan quit their royal roles in 2020 and subsequently made severe allegations against the royal family in a sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey and his 2022 blockbuster memoir “Spare.”

Amid rumors that they’re looking to extend the olive branch with the monarchy, King Charles’s former butler, Grant Harrold, shared the one condition Harry must fulfill if he’s looking to get back to his old life and settle the beef with his family, per the New York Post.

“The only way I see this happening is a public statement from Harry, where you come out and say that you were in a bad space and that [Spare] was a mistake,” Harrold said.

He, however, noted that it’ll be difficult for them to be welcomed back into the fold as the damage caused runs deep because of some “bad things” that were said.
