Meghan Markle is poised for global success with her American Riviera Orchard brand when she finally launches the full range of products according to a PR expert

Meghan Markle is set to achieve phenomenal success with her lifestyle brand thanks to her "Princess Diana effect," an expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex is yet to fully launch her American Riviera Orchard brand having only done a tease for the range of products and content she will be offering. She revealed the logo and Instagram page for the line back in March and since then has debuted three products gifted to influencers - strawberry jam, raspberry jam and dog biscuits.

Since then speculation has been rife as to when Meghan will finally release more content and a more extensive range of what she will be offering under the brand. Now a PR guru has confessed to believing Mehan is set to achieve worldwide success when she does unveil the full launch.

Abesi Manyando, author and founder of the public relations and branding development firm Abesi PR, believes Meghan is poised to do "very well" amid an "increase" in her popularity "globally", since she visited Nigeria alongside Prince Harry in May. She believes Meghan is a "very relevant figure" in the media and that her popularity is "not limited to Britain."

She explained to the Express: "I think Meghan’s brand will do very well no matter when it’s launched. I do think there is a higher demand for its release since her popularity has increased globally and outside of Britain.

"So launching this year would be great but there’s no rush because she’s a very relevant figure in media. I do not believe there is any significance with timing the launch of her brand based on when the royals are working or not since her popularity is not limited to Britain."

Mayando also addressed rumours that Meghan has been "struggling" to source staff for American Riviera Orchard, saying that she doesn't "believe that she is having a difficult time staffing her brand" because there is "zero evidence of that and the criticism is second-hand hearsay."

Manyando previously explained how Meghan and Harry's trip to Nigeria had a huge impact on her popularity - thanks in part to her fashion choices. She explained how when Meghan "wears something it immediately and factually sells out or triples in demand and sales," as she likened her to her late mother-in-law adding that there was "extreme demand for her outfits during her Nigeria trip. It’s like the Princess Diana effect."

Mayando then stressed her belief that there is "high anticipation' for a drop and the demand for her lifestyle brand has increased after her Nigeria trip." Adding that "whenever she does release her brand of products it’s going to be very successful, especially in the United States."

The royal family has always been a magnet for fascination, drama, and scandal, but the latest twist in the ongoing saga involving Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, threatens to ignite one of the most explosive legal battles in recent memory.

According to unconfirmed reports, media mogul Oprah Winfrey has allegedly sent a strongly worded legal letter to Meghan, demanding substantial compensation for what she claims were damaging lies and fabrications made by the Duchess during their groundbreaking interview last year.

At the heart of Oprah’s grievance is Meghan’s assertion that a member of the royal family had expressed concerns about the potential skin color of Meghan and Prince Harry’s then-unborn son, Archie. This incendiary allegation, which sent shockwaves through the monarchy, is now under scrutiny, with Oprah reportedly believing it to be demonstrably false.

As one of the world’s most respected and trusted interviewers, Oprah takes immense pride in her reputation for delivering honest, hard-hitting journalism. The suggestion that she may have been complicit in or misled by Meghan’s purported falsehoods is something she is reportedly unwilling to accept.

Reports indicate that Oprah is seeking millions of dollars in damages from Meghan and insists that the Duchess publicly apologize and retract her controversial comments from the interview. Failure to comply could lead to a highly publicized and potentially career-damaging lawsuit, further tarnishing Meghan’s credibility in the eyes of the public.

The stakes are extraordinarily high for both women involved. Oprah, who has built an unrivaled media empire and brand on her ability to connect with audiences and unearth revelatory interviews, faces the risk of immense reputational damage if it’s proven she was misled. For Meghan, a loss in this legal battle could mark a pivotal moment, potentially derailing her aspirations for a sustained career in entertainment and advocacy.

This clash epitomizes a battle between two formidable figures, each wielding immense wealth, power, and influence. The outcome of this legal showdown could have seismic repercussions not only for Oprah and Meghan but also for the entire narrative surrounding the royal family.

The seeds of this potential legal showdown were sown in March 2021 when Meghan and Prince Harry sat down with Oprah for a bombshell televised interview. During the interview, the couple made a series of damning allegations about their time as working members of the royal family, including accusations of racism, mental health struggles, and lack of support from the institution.

Perhaps the most explosive claim was Meghan’s revelation that there were discussions within the royal household about Archie’s skin color before his birth. This revelation ignited a firestorm in the media, with widespread condemnation of the alleged remarks as racially insensitive

The interview garnered record-breaking viewership globally, thrusting Oprah into the spotlight as the conduit through which Meghan’s accusations were broadcast to the world. Now, over a year later, it appears Oprah may be reconsidering her decision to amplify these specific claims, questioning their veracity or accuracy.

For Oprah, the stakes in this potential legal battle extend beyond financial compensation. As one of the foremost interviewers of our time, her entire brand and legacy hinge on her ability to extract truthful, authentic responses from her subjects. The suggestion that she may have been unwittingly complicit in spreading falsehoods challenges her reputation as a fair, impartial, and truth-seeking journalist.

On the other hand, Meghan has endured relentless public scrutiny and criticism throughout her tenure in the royal spotlight. Another high-profile legal setback could potentially signal the end of her ambitions for continued relevance and influence on the global stage.

This clash represents a showdown between two influential women who have overcome significant obstacles to achieve extraordinary success in their respective fields. Now, they find themselves on opposite sides of a potentially explosive legal battle that could reshape perceptions of the royal family for years to come.

While the outcome remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the world will be watching closely as this drama unfolds. With the reputations and legacies of two powerhouse women hanging in the balance, the fallout from this legal showdown is bound to be monumental. Its repercussions are likely to reverberate not just within the royal family but across the entire media landscape.

This high-stakes confrontation offers no shortage of intrigue, scandal, and potential for unexpected twists. Ultimately, the question remains: who will emerge victorious in this clash of titans? The answer could profoundly influence the future trajectories of two of the most influential women in the world.
