Just last month, Meghan Markle announced her upcoming venture of a lifestyle brand with American Riviera Orchard with a new Instagram handle focused on the same. A source told PEOPLE, that this venture would consist of everything Markle “loves” including cooking, styling, home decor, family, and entertainment. With Markle being all too “excited” for the launch of the same, this is where Prince Harry could woo with his magical hands of business genius.

As one of the most acclaimed leaders in the world, his contributions could take the project to new heights and, in turn, give it the honor it deserves. Given even the brand name carries weight on her life and their family, this business venture would be more of a homecoming for the Prince. Hence, it would not be too surprising if soon enough he hosts conversations with American Riviera Orchard like he just did for BetterUp.
