In March 2024, Meghan Markle made her long-awaited return to the public eye with her wellness-based blog entitled American Riviera Orchard, which many had dubbed The Tig 2.0 (which, for those who don’t know, was the original blog that she shut down when she married into the Royal Family). Despite the initial announcement on Instagram, not much else is known about her blog except for the fact that it will talk about wellness, cooking, motherhood, and more, And many sources claim that it is a blog that wants to rival Gwyneth Paltrow’s goop Empire.
However, in the same month, many noticed that one of Megan’s closest friends was making her name in the wellness industry and making headlines for it.
For those who don’t know, Justin Trudeau’s ex-wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau and Meghan have been close friends for quite some time now, and now, they’re entering the wellness world around the same time.
While DailyMail classified her new website as a wellness site on March 24, Sophie actually announced her new general website, which will give details about her life, book, and a newsletter that’s all about “knowledge, acceptance and empowerment.”

Sophie also shared a photo from her recent photoshoot with Vogue to her Instagram, saying, “’Closer Together’ is billed as a memoir, but it’s interspersed with interviews that Grégoire Trudeau conducted with a wellness aisle’s worth of therapists, life coaches, and social scientists. … The stated aim of ‘Closer Together’ is to guide readers toward “self-knowledge, acceptance, and empowerment.” … Hers has to be the single memoir of a world leader’s wife to include a section on the “erotic intelligence in all of us.’” You can see the whole post HERE.
Sophie’s book Closer Together will be released on April 24, and it’s a book on “personal journey toward self-knowledge, acceptance, and empowerment, drawing on the expertise of top psychologists, psychiatrists, scientists, and thought leaders.”
So a book, new site, and a wellness-based second era? Sounds a lot like her bestie Meghan.

Per Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family by Omid Scobie, “The pair became fast email friends, Meghan was interested to hear how Sophie had successfully made the move from an entertainment news correspondent to much-beloved first lady, all while s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁fully dodging controversy,” to which Sophie helped Meghan navigate the new lifestyle.
Since then, Sophie has been on Meghan’s podcast Archetypes, seen at her Montecito mansion, and more.
