Meghan Markle will be ‘feeling the pressure’ after working hard on establishing herself as an ‘influencer’ ahead of her all-important Netflix show.

The Duchess of Sussex is set to unveil her high-end food and homeware brand to coincide with her new TV programme, ‘With Love, Meghan’, which will be available to watch from March 4.

Meanwhile, Meghan has been sharing more intimate moments of her life with her 1.8 million Instagram followers, including a heartfelt message to Prince Harry on Valentine’s Day alongside a snap of them kissing.

Professor Jonathan Shalit, chairman of InterTalent Rights Group, said Meghan will likely have been ‘working very hard for four or five months’ ahead of her make-or-break cooking show.

The talent manager, who has worked with famous figures including Katherine Jenkins and Dame Joan Collins, told MailOnline: ‘When you’re managing a programme or a podcast there’s a lot of hard work you don’t see.

‘My guess is she’s been working very hard for four or five months.

‘Feeling pressure when you put your work in the public domain to be judged – there’s always going to be pressure.’

Prof Shalit added that Meghan is becoming an ‘influencer with influence’ and is ‘working hard to pay the bills’ – with ‘impressive’ engagement on social media.

Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard brand products – rumoured to include jam, tea, coffee, wallpaper, pet shampoo and olive oil – will first pop up in two American mega-malls on the outskirts of Dallas and Philadelphia, MailOnline revealed this week.

Netflix will set aside space in two of their brand-new brick and mortar stores.

The first of Meghan’s product stands will open in the King of Prussia Mall in Philadelphia and the giant Dallas Galleria.

The duchess had a significant setback when her $20million Spotify podcast series was cancelled with Spotify executive Bill Simmons describing Meghan and husband Harry as ‘grifters’.

The couple’s $100million five-year Netflix deal expires later this year and insiders believe it will not be renewed.

The source said: ‘If Meghan’s show is a massive hit and she sells tons of products off the back of it then maybe Netflix will reconsider but at this stage it’s all about them supporting her show and then quietly letting the contract run its course.’

The streaming giant hopes to eventually open Netflix House stores coast-to-coast.

On their website they say: ‘Netflix House is a year-round home for fans to live the stories they love. Enjoy rotating immersive experiences, exclusive merchandise, food, drinks and much more.’

Meghan’s new lifestyle show was originally set to air in January but, according to Netflix, was pushed back because of the devastating LA wildfires.

It is understood the show is being edited ‘to include Meghan’s philanthropic work around the fires’ which included visiting victims in Altadena, California.

This week she bragged about how she scored scored Billie Eilish merchandise for one 15-year-old girl who lost her family home.

The source added: ‘Netflix is expanding and growing all the time and Netflix House is a natural progression. Meghan’s products will be in there alongside shirts and merchandise from some of the biggest shows on the planet.

‘It’s a bigger deal for her than it is for Netflix. If her show doesn’t take off, then her merchandise will be quietly taken off the shelves and replaced with products associated with a more popular show.

‘Netflix has a huge arsenal of shows to draw on so this venture into bricks and mortar retailing makes sense.

‘Eventually they are hoping to open stores internationally.’
