Insight into Meghan Markle’s Trademark Hurdle

Recently, there has been a lot of chatter surrounding Meghan Markle, especially regarding her business endeavors.

Before her lifestyle company, American Riviera Orchard, could make its official debut, it encountered a significant hurdle.

The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) decided against granting the trademark.

Their reason? The use of names that denote geographical locations is not permissible for businesses.

For those who might not know, the Duchess, along with Prince Harry and their two young ones, resides in Santa Barbara, California.

This picturesque locale, often dubbed the “American Riviera,” was reflected in the company’s name, leading to the trademark issues.

Prince William’s More Casual Appearance

In the wake of this setback for Meghan, Prince William was making headlines of his own, but for something a bit more light-hearted.

Upon his return to the public sphere after a summer hiatus, he was seen sporting a rather relaxed look, complete with a stubbly beard.

He showcased this new style while attending an exhibition on homelessness.

Earlier, William and his wife Kate had surprised fans with a video message in which his stubbly appearance was first noticed.

In the video, the royal couple sent their congratulations to Team GB on their commendable performance at the Olympics.

Naturally, such a shift in appearance sparked a lively debate online, with royal enthusiasts chiming in about whether he should keep or shed the scruffy look.

Some folks loved it while others cheekily commented that he looked like he was in “vacation mode.”
