Meghan Markle has reportedly taken the reins as the CEO of American Riviera Orchard after a fruitless search left her unable to find a suitable candidate for the role.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, is said to have conducted several interviews over the weeks since announcing her new business on Instagram nine months ago, but nobody has seemingly met her high standards – until she realized she herself might fit the bill.Despite encountering a hiccup in the autumn when her US trademark application was knocked back, Meghan has reportedly triumphed over adversity to crown herself head of the company, the Mirror reports.A source revealed: "She is the CEO of American Riviera Orchard." The Duchess's journey saw another twist recently, with revelations that she's been in talks with Netflix about a potential commercial tie-up with American Riviera Orchard.

Reports today suggest these negotiations are underway.The initiative, which will emphasize the home, garden, food, and lifestyle sectors, hit another bump in the road when its logo ran afoul of the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in September due to its complexity.

The USPTO's feedback noted: "The current mark description indicates that the letter 'O' appears in the mark. However, the letter is now clearly visible or highly stylized that it is unrecognizable as a letter.
