Meghan Markle’s Latest Venture Sparks Eye Rolls Across the Globe
Meghan Markle’s latest venture — a packet of 12 peppermint tea bags priced at a jaw-dropping £9.30 — has sparked a chorus of eye rolls from London to Los Angeles. Launched under her American Riviera Orchard brand, the tea is marketed as a curated blend promising to transport drinkers to a state of serene sophistication.
However, not everyone is buying the fantasy. Critics quickly pointed out that the tea, sourced from an undisclosed supplier, is rumored to be a rebranded bulk blend available for pennies on the pound. The minimalist packaging, heavy emphasis on “heritage,” and lofty price point drew immediate comparisons to luxury British brands like Highgrove. Yet Meghan’s version, by contrast, feels more like a photocopy left out in the sun — faded, flimsy, and unmistakably derivative.
The backlash didn’t stop at accusations of price gouging. Bloggers and tabloids dug deeper and found more fuel for the fire. The consensus was clear: Meghan isn’t really selling tea — she’s selling a lifestyle fantasy. But in this case, few seem willing to buy it.
Still, Meghan is no fool. Her media savvy and knack for narrative have kept her in the spotlight long after stepping back from royal duties. Some speculate this latest move is a desperate grab for relevance, while others see it as a calculated provocation — a middle finger to the establishment she claims to reject.
Either way, the tea launch feels like a symptom of a deeper problem. With each new venture, Meghan seems to try on another persona — and with each attempt, the fit looks a little worse.
