"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," former royal butler
Grant Harrold said on behalf of
AceOdds.

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

Last year, Meghan Markle launched her jam brand, As Ever, and her cooking series, With Love, Meghan. After months of speculation surrounding her post-royal career, the Suits star is seemingly focused on building a culinary empire.
"While I think we'll see new products in her current ranges, I think she will stick to the same areas," Grant Harrold said.

When Meghan Markle and Prince Harry first left the U.K., the duo complained about the royal family in their various Hollywood projects — but her latest endeavors could be a sign that she is done trashing her in-laws.
"I think the royal family hopes she continues her work in the lifestyle sphere. It's what she's passionate about, and she's made a real mark," Grant Harrold said. "Plus, it can't really do much harm — and especially nothing like Harry did with his memoir."
