Duchess of Sussex Eyes Wine Venture
Reliable sources have revealed that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is exploring plans to start her own wine company. While residing in California with Prince Harry after stepping back from royal duties, the former actress has reportedly become interested in the wine business.
It is understood that Markle sees an opportunity in developing a premium rosé wine brand, similar to the success achieved in recent years by actor Brad Pitt with his estate Miraval wines. A knowledgeable insider shared that Markle has been quietly working on trademarking the name “Archewell Wine” and building the required network to launch a high-end rosé label under the Archewell foundation.
Though still in the early ideation stage, Markle is said to be passionate about bringing her wine brand vision to life. She finds the wine industry fascinating and believes her brand could promote sustainability practices through its entire process from grape-growing to bottling. The potential venture would also align with Markle's focus on causes related to empowering women through business ownership and trade.
If launched, an Archewell Wine label would join the growing portfolio of business interests pursued by the Sussexes as non-working royals living in the United States. More details are expected to emerge in the coming months as Markle further develops her plans, likely keeping production small-batch to begin with as she learns the various aspects of winemaking and distribution.
