Meghan Markle’s close friend, Nacho Figueras, surprised fans by unveiling a new product from the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle label, American Riviera Orchard. Taking to Instagram Stories, Figueras shared a picture of a pot of raspberry jam, accompanied by the news that Markle will also be releasing dog biscuits under her brand. The second snap showed Figueras’ own dog, Nina Iggy, sitting next to a glass jar of the canine snack, which featured the same ribbon and cursive writing as Markle’s jam packaging.
The timing of Figueras’ posts is intriguing, as it coincided with Kate Middleton’s return to the public eye after battling an undisclosed form of cancer. Middleton had announced earlier on Friday that she would be attending Trooping the Colour, her first public appearance since March. However, it remains unclear whether the timing was intentional or coincidental. Figueras has been friends with Markle and Prince Harry for years, adding another layer of interest to this situation.
Middleton’s triumphant return to the spotlight was met with cheers from crowds as she appeared on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside King Charles and Queen Camilla. Royal supporters had even camped overnight to secure their spot and were equipped with cardboard cutouts of Middleton.
Despite her return, Middleton shared an emotional health update on Friday, admitting that she still has “good days and bad days” and is “not out of the woods” with her illness. She emphasized the need to rest on bad days but also expressed her desire to make the most of feeling well on good days.
It is worth noting that Markle unveiled her lifestyle brand earlier this year, but it remains unclear when items from the line will be available for public purchase. The anticipation surrounding her brand launch continues to grow as she expands her product offerings beyond jam to include dog biscuits.
This story not only highlights the close friendship between Markle, Prince Harry, and Figueras, but it also showcases Middleton’s strength and resilience as she battles cancer. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with personal challenges, these members of the royal family continue to inspire and captivate the public.
