Despite Queen Elizabeth trying her hardest to find suitable roles for Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex’s ambitions could never be fulfilled within the Royal Family.
Now free of such constraints, Prince Harry’s wife is hatching plans for world domination.
In her latest move, the former actress is, I can reveal, seeking a Chief Executive Officer for her new cooking and lifestyle business, American Riviera Orchard.
‘Meghan is interviewing candidates for the CEO role at the moment,’ a source tells me.
The Duchess, 42, unveiled the venture last week by posting a glitzy video on Instagram in which she could be seen busying herself in a rustic-looking kitchen, arranging white and pink flowers, and whisking something in a bowl.

Meghan is said to hope American Riviera Orchard, which will focus on home, garden, food and lifestyle wares, will be highly lucrative
She posted the video the day after I contacted her office for comment on her plans, which may have overshadowed an appearance by Harry, via video link, at an event that evening for the Diana Award, an organisation close to his heart.
Meghan is said to hope American Riviera Orchard, which will focus on home, garden, food and lifestyle wares, will be highly lucrative.
An insider told me last week: ‘The brand is meant to coincide with the launch of a new cookery show for Netflix. Meghan will be making and selling products such as jams. At some point there will be a book and a blog.’ Meghan’s lawyer has applied to trademark the brand in the U.S. for various goods, including cutlery, recipe books, tablecloths, napkins, jams, edible oils, vegetable and dairy-based spreads.
The trademark application also appears to extend to a physical shop where items could be sold.
The identities of candidates for the chief executive role are not yet known, but they may need to be strong characters. There have been a string of departures from Harry and Meghan’s workforce.
The total number of staff the Sussexes have lost since they married in 2018 is said to be at least 17, with eight or more having left since they moved to California.
