Early life and education

In 1995, he graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. During his time as an undergraduate, he was initiated into the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.[3] In 2001, he earned an MBA from the Fordham Graduate School of Business.[4][5]
Business

The products use organic ingredients and fragrance oils from Italy and are sold in U.S. stores along with the television station HSN.

In the summer of 2009, Borghese announced he would appear on a web reality show titled America's Next Princess. The show was to coincide with the launch of Royal Pet Club,[9] an online shopping website for his Royal Treatment pet products.[10] However, when the show debuted online on August 17, 2009, all the contestants were revealed to be dogs.[11]
