ROYAL COMMENTARY: How the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, gained fame, fortune and public admiration by “riding on the back” of the Royal Family and standing on her beliefs and principles…Read On

After a disastrous year in 2023, Meghan Markle decided to rebrand her image from a former working royal who talked over and over again about Prince Harry’s relatives and the way she was treated when they lived in the U.K. to a serious businesswoman.

The duchess launched a website for her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, in March and began creating more content for Netflix that included a cooking show. However, it’s been reported that the former Suits star has just suffered a major blow with both of those ventures and there’s no one who can help her out with this, not even Prince Harry.

Here’s what a royal expert is revealing about that.
Fans who were patiently waiting for Meghan’s full product launch and her cooking show to debut in 2024 will have to wait a little longer now. That’s because, there are copyright issues with her lifestyle brand that have led to Netflix pushing her show back, according to Express.

The publication noted that Meghan has not fully claimed the name for her brand due to those copyright issues, and the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office notified the duchess’s attorneys about “various items in the brand including incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets, and recipe books … It could cost Meghan to now register trademarks and wait further to settle the copyright issues, which could further delay the Netflix show.”

The show wrapped filming some time ago and was thought to be released on Netflix this year, but now the streaming giant has reportedly pushed it back to “mid-2025.” If Meghan needs to register trademarks and waits to settle the copyright issues that could delay the show even more.

Prince Harry isn’t in a position to help his wife.

Some have questioned why Harry isn’t helping the duchess with her latest business ventures. Well, a royal commentator has said that’s because the duke doesn’t know anything about being a successful businessperson.

Tom Quinn told The Mirror that the prince is in no position to help Meghan with her business ventures.

“Harry has never had any real idea about becoming an entrepreneur or a businessman in his own right,” Quinn said, adding, “He is trained from birth to do one thing only — to be a royal, and he has thrown that away. His 100% percent support for his wife and her business ventures has never wavered — but it hasn’t been enough to make a success of her company. Meghan is proof that self-belief won’t always guarantee success. It won’t always make you a great entrepreneur and businesswoman.”

So far for her brand, Meghan has only had soft launches in which she sent jars of jam and later some dog biscuits to a select group of friends and social media influencers.
