Meghan Markle is reportedly making a festive effort to reconnect with Hollywood through thoughtfully curated gift packages. According to Closer Magazine, the Duchess of Sussex, who has kept a relatively low profile this year, is using the holiday season to promote her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, with specially designed gift bags.
An insider shared with Closer Magazine, “Meghan has been meticulously curating gift packages filled with a selection of all her favorite things—and of course, plenty of her signature jam—to send to the who’s who of Hollywood.” These packages, filled with items that reflect Meghan’s personal taste, are intended as a gesture of goodwill while also spotlighting her brand.
While promoting American Riviera Orchard is one of her goals, the insider revealed that Meghan also sees this as a chance to strengthen her connections within the entertainment industry. “With Christmas around the corner, Meghan sees it as the perfect time to rebuild connections and is determined not to start 2025 surrounded by negativity,” the source explained.
The Duchess is reportedly keen on reminding people of her “softer side” as she moves forward. The gift bags are being sent to friends, colleagues, and influential figures throughout Hollywood. Meghan is said to be sparing no expense or time in this project, viewing it as an investment in her personal and professional relationships.
“She’s willing to spend a fortune and a whole lot of time because she sees it as an investment in her relationships,” the insider added. As the holidays approach, Meghan’s efforts to reconnect appear to be part of a broader strategy to embrace the season’s spirit of goodwill and look toward a more positive start in the new year.
