On social media, users asked, “Didn’t she start an IG account under American Riviera Orchard?” and “Why no mention of American Riviera Orchard?”
Despite the confusion, Dr. Dunlop believes the show could succeed, particularly in the U.S. She explained, “In America, there is a different relationship with perfection. While British audiences prefer relatable soap operas, Americans embrace escapism with a glossy, successful sheen, like in *Dynasty* or *Friends*.”
She continued, “Meghan fits into this mold perfectly with her curated aesthetic. Her friends, including Abigail Spencer, Mindy Kaling, and Delfina Blaquier, embody elegance and perfection. They’re not pursuing perfection but joy.”

Dr. Dunlop concluded, “Americans, invited to watch and dream, will likely resonate with Meghan’s portrayal of love and joy, even if it’s a far cry from reality.”
Harry also makes an appearance in the trailer, seen embracing Meghan, indicating his support for her project. The couple has been working separately recently, with Meghan focusing on business ventures and Harry on charitable work.
Meghan’s gesture of calling her and Harry “salt and pepper” because they “always move together” resurfaces, showing their unity. Body language expert Judi James noted Harry’s pride and emotional support for Meghan in the trailer.

James added, “Meghan flaunts her friends instead of directly addressing the audience, showcasing her Montecito ‘family.’ The trailer and possibly the series highlight how much Meghan is loved and loves in return. Words like ‘love,’ ‘friends,’ and ‘joy’ dominate the narrative.”
She concluded, “Meghan’s portrayal of love, friends, and family, alongside gentle activities like beekeeping, might not offer an accessible lifestyle, but it serves as a strong PR move to rebrand Meghan as a ‘sweet-treat’ personality.”
