Meghan Markle set to follow path the royal family prefers?

Meghan Markle is expected to continue focusing on her lifestyle ventures, a direction the Royal family approves of, claimed a former royal butler.

According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the Duchess of Sussex has no plans to expand into fashion or beauty despite rumours.

Harrold said Meghan appears keen to build her presence in the food and lifestyle space and is unlikely to try anything new.

He noted that Meghan will choose to strengthen her existing brand, adding that this approach is something the Royal family hope she maintains.

"Meghan has placed herself firmly in the foodie and lifestyle place and I think she’ll be looking to build and grow in this area in 2026," he said, per The Express.

"...I don’t think we’ll see Meghan launch a fashion or beauty range. While we know they’re areas she’s passionate about, I think she knows it’s vital to build a solid brand before diversifying," he continued.

"While I think we’ll see new products in her current ranges, I think she will stick to the same areas. I think the Royal Family hope she continues her work in the lifestyle sphere. 

"It’s what she’s passionate about and she’s made a real mark. Plus, it can’t really do much harm - and especially nothing like Harry did with his memoir."
