As Meghan Markle has professionally separated from her husband Prince Harry intensifying rumors about their divorce, the Duchess of Sussex has asked the US authorities to give her some more time to get her lifestyle brand off the ground. Meghan will now fully focus on her career but her jam brand American Riviera Orchard could not procure a trademark because of some issues with the filing. Meghan was given three months to address the errors in the application in August. According to reports, she has now asked for another three months to correct the error in the filing and if this deadline is missed, she will have to start the application again. The application which Meghan filled early this year was not signed and she didn’t send enough money, reports said.
There is another firm that has the trademark Royal Riviera which challenged Meghan’s trademark plea.
However, it is not clear why Meghan would need three more months to set things right when her lawyers have been already working on it.
Are Harry and Meghan heading for a divorce?
Harry and Meghan are in the middle of a professional separation which means they will not work together. According to their aides, this is a decision they have jointly arrived as their joint brand ‘Harry-Meghan’ or the ‘Sussexes’ has been losing popularity. It has been decided that Meghan will be focusing on her Hollywood projects and home goods brand while Harry will be doping his charity works. But whether this arrangement is to cover up their personal separation as well is not yet known. They have rarely made joint appearances and according to reports, they are rarely together in California either.
Before marrying Harry, Meghan was married to American film producer Trevor Engelson from 2011 to 2014 when they divorced. They cited “irreconcilable differences” for their divorce. Meghan and Harry married in 2018 and they exited from the Royal family in 2020.
