The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has recently unveiled her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. However, a UK domain name for her brand is directing to a page raising funds for a UK food bank network and a message supporting the Princess of Wales.
The website americanrivieraorchard.uk displays a noticeable message in capital letters saying, “Forgiveness. Permission. Please donate to The Trussell Trust.” Additionally, it contains a “Donate to the Trussell Trust” link that leads to a JustGiving page with a target of £1,000 and a message expressing hope that Meghan would not mind, with thoughts directed to Catherine, the Princess of Wales.
This distinctive fundraising link has attracted attention and garnered numerous donations, with supporters expressing their admiration for Kate and the Trussell Trust.
The Trussell Trust is a charity that supports a network of food banks across the UK, providing emergency food and assistance to individuals facing hardship while advocating for systemic change to eliminate the need for food banks.
While the charity appreciates the support, the Trussell Trust clarified that they are not affiliated with the website domain and have no knowledge of the origins of the fundraising page.
In other news, the Prince of Wales made a return to official engagements after Kate revealed her cancer diagnosis to the public. His first engagement included a visit to a food distribution charity, Surplus to Supper.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle made a soft launch of the first product from her American Riviera Orchard brand, gifting her friends with limited edition jars of strawberry jam. In March, she teased her project through a video posted on the brand’s Instagram account, showcasing her passion for cooking and floral arrangements.
The lively discussions sparked by this unconventional fundraiser and Meghan’s business venture allude to the pressing issues of food insecurity and the emergence of new ventures from high-profile figures. It is a reminder of the importance of supporting charitable causes and addressing societal needs.
