Meghan Markle is back on the 'gram.
The Duchess of Sussex debuted a new website and Instagram account for her latest project American Riviera Orchard on March 14.
So what exactly is American Riviera Orchard? While that remains a mystery, Meghan has given fans a few clues on social media.
For starters, a video posted to Instagram Stories from the account appeared to show the former Suits star cooking in a kitchen and arranging flowers. She also revealed the website's new logo in a series of posts on the grid.
The design noted the brand is based in Montecito, Calif., where she lives with her husband Prince Harry and their children Prince Archie, 4, and Princess Lilibet, 2. The location could possibly give some insight about the name, too. After all, the tourism website for the neighboring city Santa Barbara notes it's often called the American Riviera.
But for now, not much else has been revealed. In the meantime, the website invites followers to join a waitlist to learn more.
E! News has reached out to the Sussexes' rep for comment but has yet to hear back.
Of course, Meghan is no stranger to the online content space as she previously operated the lifestyle blog until it shuttered in 2017. She also previously had her own social media accounts but closed those as well in 2018, months after her engagement to Harry.
During the couple's time as working members of the royal family, they operated the @sussexroyal Instagram account but stopped posting on it in March 2020—two months after sharing their decision to step back from their roles.
Still, Meghan—who has returned to media in recent years with her and Harry's docuseries and her podcast Archetypes—has spoken about the negative sides of social media and the comments she's read about herself.
"The bulk of the bullying and abuse that I was experiencing in social media and online was when I was pregnant with Archie and with Lili and with a newborn with each of them," she said at a SXSW panel last week. "And just you think about that and to really wrap your head around why people would be so hateful. It's not catty, it's cruel."
To stay up to date on more royal news—including the drama surrounding Kate Middleton's recently edited photo—keep reading.
After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored.
"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she tweeted on March 11. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."
Princess Diana's niece celebrated Mother's Day in the U.K. by sharing she and her husband Michael Lewis privately welcomed their first baby.
“It’s the joy of my life to be your mummy, little one. I love you unconditionally," she captioned her March 10 Instagram post. "Happy Mother’s Day to those who celebrate today."
After keeping up her full slate of engagements in the wake of her husband's cancer diagnosis, the palace cleared Camilla's schedule.
The Times pointed out March 2 that the 76-year-old didn't have any engagements on her calendar until March 11, when she'd be due at Westminster Abbey to observe Commonwealth Day.
The husband of Lady Gabriella Windsor and ex-boyfriend of Pippa Middleton, was found dead Feb. 25. Days later, a coroner's inquest found that he died by suicide.
While King Charles III was in the hospital for his benign prostate enlargement procedure, the royal family member was diagnosed with cancer.
"His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties," Buckingham Palace said Feb. 5. "Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible."
The Duchess of York's rep said in a statement on Jan. 21 that Sarah was recently diagnosed with malignant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer. Several months prior, she underwent a single mastectomy to treat breast cancer.
On Jan. 14, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark made history as she officially abdicated the throne, handing the crown over to her son, now known as King Frederik the 10th.
Kensington Palace announced on Jan. 17 that Kate Middleton underwent planned abdominal surgery and was set to remain in the hospital for 10 to 14 days.
"Based on the current medical advice," the Palace said, "she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter."
Amid Kate's recovery, Prince William postponed a number of engagements as he supported his family, including the couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Shortly after Kate's hospitalization was made public, Buckingham Palace shared that Charles "has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate."
"His Majesty's condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure," the statement added. "The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation."
Princess Claire and Prince Felix of Luxembourg welcomed son Balthazar Felix Karl on Jan. 7, the first royal baby of the New Year!
