Meghan Markle wasted no time brushing off the weekend’s social chatter, dropping a dreamy holiday preview for her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard on Sunday — complete with silk pajamas, cashmere throws, and the kind of effortless Montecito elegance that screams “I woke up like this (in a multi-million-dollar mansion).”

The 44-year-old Duchess of Sussex posted a sun-drenched selfie on the brand’s freshly reactivated Instagram (@americanrivieraorchard), lounging in cream silk PJs embroidered with delicate strawberries, holding a mug of what fans are calling “Christmas morning tea.”

“Getting cozy for the holidays 🎄,” the caption read, alongside a link-in-bio to a waitlist for the limited collection launching Black Friday.

Sources say the drop includes:

Hand-poured beeswax candles scented with California orange blossom
Strawberry-seed jam gift sets (finally!)
Luxe linen table runners and napkins
Cashmere blankets in soft ivory and sage

Prices reportedly start at $68 for jam and climb to $1,200 for the blanket — very “quiet luxury.”

The timing raised eyebrows.

Just 24 hours earlier, Kris Jenner celebrated her 70th birthday with a blowout bash attended by half of Calabasas: Kim, Khloé, Kourtney, Kylie, Kendall, North West in custom Dolce, and even Oprah.

Conspicuously absent? Meghan and Harry — despite living a quick 90-minute drive away in Montecito and Kris publicly praising Meghan’s “amazing” jam earlier this year.

Page Six spies noted the guest list included Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer and her new bestie Kimberly Williams-Paisley, but no Sussex sighting.

“Meghan wasn’t invited,” a source told Daily Mail. “Kris is very careful about who she aligns with publicly now, especially after the Kardashian brand took heat for being too political.”

Another insider pushed back: “It was a family-only vibe after 10 p.m. Lots of A-listers got the early dinner invite only.”

Either way, Meghan’s response appeared to be classic Duchess: Post a flawless photo and let the products do the talking.

The comment section exploded within minutes — 400,000 likes in two hours — with fans gushing:

“This is the holiday content we DESERVE 👏”
“Silent launch while the drama brews — queen behavior”
“Kris who? Meghan’s building an empire in pajamas 😂”

American Riviera Orchard’s Instagram had been dormant since its cryptic March 2024 debut (16 blank tiles and a logo). Sunday marked the first face reveal and the clearest sign yet that the Netflix deal, podcast return, and this lifestyle brand are all dropping in 2026.

Retail experts predict the holiday collection will sell out in hours.

“Meghan’s mastered the ‘less is more’ scarcity model,” said branding expert Jeetendr Sehdev. “One perfect photo > 50 paparazzi shots.”

Meanwhile, Harry was spotted surfing in Santa Barbara the same weekend — living his best chill life while his wife casually reminds the world she’s still the most talked-about woman in America.

Whether it was shade from Kris or simply scheduling, Meghan’s message seems clear: She’s too busy curating her own table to worry about someone else’s guest list.

The waitlist is open now. Something tells us those strawberry jams won’t last long.

Happy holidays from Montecito — drama not included.
