Meghan Markle fans may finally be able to enjoy a taste of her luxury Montecito lifestyle, specifically her famous American Riviera Orchard strawberry jam that she teased nearly a year ago even though she didn’t seem to have any products ready to sell.

A new Daily Mail report said that jars of Meghan’s jam, as well as some of her other American Riviera Orchard food and lifestyle products, will be sold at new brick-and-mortar stores that Netflix is opening up in two mega-malls in Pennsylvania and Dallas. The streaming service announced last June that it would be opening department store-sized “entertainment venues” called Netflix Houses in 2025, at the iconic shopping center in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and at the Galleria in Dallas.

The launch of Meghan’s products in the Netflix Houses will coincide with the venue openings, as well as the release of her Netflix cooking show, “With Love, Meghan,” the source said. The show was supposed to begin airing on Jan. 15, but Meghan and Netflix decided to delay its release until March 4, due to the deadly Los Angeles wildfires, which swept through Pacific Palisades, Altadena and Pasadena. Meanwhile, this week Meghan is in British Columbia with her husband, Prince Harry, as he presides over the winter Invictus Games, the international sporting competition that he helped create for wounded veterans and service men and women.

“This is make or break for Meghan,” the source told the Daily Mail about launching her products in the Netflix stores. “Her new show is rolling out the same time as the Netflix stores open.”

Netflix announced that its Netflix Houses will let people indulge in “immersive experiences” related to their favorite Netflix shows. For example, people will be able to “waltz” to an orchestral cover of a Taylor Swift song on a replica of a “Bridgerton” set or compete in the Glass Bridge challenge from “Squid Games.” The venues also will sell “Stranger Things” merch, such a “that Hellfire Club T-shirt you’ve always wanted.”

The venues also will include cafes that serve food inspired by favorite shows, Netflix said. Presumably, the Duchess of Sussex’s jam could be served or sold at the cafes, along with her olive oil, coffee or tea. Desserts or meals viewers see  served on her show could perhaps also be on the cafe menus.

But how well Meghan’s products sell at these Netflix locations could determine the American former TV actor’s future with the streaming service or her success as an influencer and lifestyle guru, the source said.

“This will determine the future for Meghan as a businesswoman,” the Daily Mail source said. “Let’s face it, she hasn’t been that successful so far.”

Thus far, her commercial endeavors haven’t fared too well, not since she and Harry left British royal life in 2020 and moved to the United States to pursue careers as media moguls and global do-gooders. They signed a reported $20 million deal with Spotify to produce uplifting, informative podcasts, but Meghan only manage to release one 12-episode series called “Archetypes.”

Their reported $100 million deal with Netflix initially turned out to be more successful, with the blockbuster ratings for their 2022 “Harry and Meghan” docu-series. But critics said viewers only watched because they wanted to hear the couple dish dirt about royal life and Harry’s famous relatives. Their subsequent Netflix projects, which featured no royal gossip, barely registered or were critically savaged, notably their recent docu-series “Polo,” about Harry’s rich polo-playing friends.

Meghan’s cooking show, “With Love, Meghan,” reportedly got little mention at Netflix’s star-studded event in Los Angeles in late January to announce the service’s 2025 programming. Vanity Fair also had just published a lengthy and damning story about Meghan and Harry’s “American Hustle,” which, among other things, portrayed Meghan as bullying her subordinates at Spotify and Netflix.

Comedian John Mulaney also got in a dig at Meghan and Harry’s content creator aspirations when he talked about his own upcoming talk show, “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” and its vague premise of having a panel of eclectic guests sit in front of a camera and engage in a free-wheeling conversion.

Mulaney praised Netflix for believing in his show. “This is a really fun experiment,” he added. “Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.”

Mulaney, of course, was referring to Netflix famously signing a splashy, five-year deal with Meghan and Harry to make documentaries, feature films, scripted shows and children’s programming. Netflix made this deal with the Sussexes, despite the fact they had zero experience in developing or producing movies or TV shows.

So now, Netflix is waiting to see if Meghan’s lifestyle show succeeds, though sources suggest that the show won’t include any actual recipes, the Daily Beast reported. Instead, it offers a “magical and beautiful guide to hosting and entertaining,” with Meghan entertaining her celebrity friends.

As for Meghan’s lifestyle brand, Netflix’s reported willingness to begin selling her products at its mall stores raises the question of whether American Riviera Orchard has already cleared some of the trademark hurdles that have reportedly delayed the brand’s launch. The Daily Mail report didn’t address the issues the brand has had with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. As recently as November, Meghan’s brand was hit with a “protest” from Harry and David, the famed Southern Oregon gift-box company, which said that the name American Riviera Orchard was too similar to the trademark given to their “Royal Riviera” brand of pears that it grows and sells during the holidays.
