Meghan Markle has surrounded herself with influential people in her corner.
The Duchess of Sussex, 42, attended a high-profile business summit in the Hamptons, hosted by Goop and Bumble investor Amy Griffin and her G9 Ventures, on Friday. The event brought together prominent figures from various industries.

Although the company has yet to list any products for sale, an insider revealed to Us Weekly that the former Suits actress is thrilled about the positive response her brand has received so far.
The legal drama Suits gained a loyal fanbase when it first aired — and its Netflix debut has made it even more popular. The USA series, which originally ran for nine seasons from 2011 to 2019, stars Patrick J. Adams as Mike Ross, a man who convinces a New York City law firm to give him […]

“The rollout for American Riviera Orchard is already off to a strong start. The website has over 100,000 people who have signed up to hear about the first products launched,” the source told Us earlier this month. “Meghan is very pleased with the early interest it has gained.”
Markle’s networking with influential figures comes a little over a week before her birthday on August 4 and just a few weeks after she supported husband Prince Harry at the 2024 ESPY Awards. The Duke of Sussex, 39, was being honored with the Pat Tillman Award for Service, due to his time in the British Armed Forces and his creation of the Invictus Games. Harry and Markle celebrated the 10th anniversary of the competition for wounded veterans with a visit to Nigeria earlier this year.
Markle’s business launch comes at a challenging time for the royal family, who are dealing with the cancer diagnoses of both King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton. Harry briefly visited his father following his diagnosis, though Meghan stayed behind in California.
What’s in store for Leos this year? Us Weekly turned to world-renowned astrologer and author Susan Miller to get the forecast for the Lions in your life — and in Hollywood. Meghan Markle’s (August 4, 1981) marriage house is Capricorn (“history and tradition”), which makes husband Prince Harry a perfect fit, says Miller in the […]
In the recent ITV documentary Tabloids on Trial, Harry explained that he refuses to bring Markle into the UK for fear of her safety. Harry has filed several lawsuits against British tabloids, alleging they broke the law in their newsgathering practices and publishing decisions. Harry shared with ITV that the frenzy whipped up by the papers has made Markle a target.
“It’s still dangerous, and all it takes is one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on what they have read,” Harry, 39, said in the documentary. “It’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, and these are things that are of genuine concern for me. It’s one of the reasons why I won’t bring my wife back to this country.”
Harry added that he had previously been “pushed too far” when it came to the British tabloids. “It got to a point where you’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t,” he explained. “But I don’t think there’s anybody in the world better suited and placed to be able to see this through than myself.”
