Undeterred by this setback, Meghan has tried to salvage something from the rubble by trademarking her name Archetype. Their goal was to secure the rights to the name in a variety of categories, including downloadable audio recordings, podcasts, and the cultural treatment of women and stereotypes they face. But Meghan's hopes were quickly dashed. Just 10 minutes after filing, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) dismissed the case, citing potential confusion with another company's existing trademark, ``Project Miracle IP Holdings.'' This early refusal makes it clear that Meghan's attempts to secure ownership of her name are sure to run into obstacles.
Undeterred, Meghan and Harry's legal team requested an extension to amend their application in hopes of overcoming the initial rejection. But as time passed, her podcast remained in limbo and the challenges grew. Finally, Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry had to make an important decision. They decided to withdraw the offer rather than continue in what appeared to be a futile effort. Last month, they filed an "Express Abandonment," indicating their decision to abandon the fight over the "Archetypes" trademark.
What can this development tell us? This is a clear sign that Meghan's ambitions to use her global status to build a media empire have hit a serious roadblock. The cancellation of the podcast and subsequent brand backlash highlights the hurdles they face in maintaining celebrity status and securing lucrative deals.
Remarkably, despite the initial hype, "Archetypes" gradually lost its appeal, plummeting to No. 22 on the Spotify rankings by its 10th episode. This is a reminder that fame can be temporary. Now the question is, what's next for Meghan? There are rumors that she may be reviving her Instagram account as part of her wellness business. This suggests that she is not yet ready to be forgotten.
Dior's latest social media post includes a subtle message for Meghan Markle, while also garnering praise for Camila's elegant navy dress. Queen Camilla and King Charles made a regal appearance at the Palace of Versailles, attending a state banquet attended by carefully selected guests.
Camilla's choice of attire paid homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II, as she donned a bespoke navy gown and sentimental royal jewelry. The stunning dress, a Dior Couture evening garden cape in midnight blue silk, was specially crafted by Maria Grazia Chiuri, epitomizing Dior's savoir-faire.
Dior took to social media to commend Camilla's regal appearance, sharing an image of Queen Camilla and King Charles captioned, "A regal appearance for the state dinner held this evening at the Château de Versailles.
Queen Camilla appeared in an exquisite Dior Couture evening gown and cape in midnight blue silk, pre-specially dreamed up by Maria Grazia Chiuri - a masterpiece epitomizing Dior's savoir-faire," said a statement accompanying the picture on the official Twitter account of the brand. Following the French brand's post, many royal fans believe the Queen's image was used to subtly mock Meghan, who reportedly failed to land a deal with the luxury brand. Dior appears to want to distance itself from Prince Harry after the controversial suit he wore to his father's coronation. However, another source said Dior had reportedly considered Prince Harry as an ambassador, but Meghan's involvement reportedly led to the brand's rejection. Some think this is a good outcome for both.
Dior understands that he needs to appeal to different markets that can buy his company's clothes. In June, a Dior spokesperson dismissed speculation about the Duchess' contract, saying Dior occasionally dressed Meghan when she was an active member of the royal family along with Prince Harry. Prince Harry also wore Dior at King Charles' recent coronation. Ever since Dior denied reports of a contract with Duchess Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex has been the subject of online trolling every time a member of the royal family wears the brand's clothes.
While Dior aims to appeal to a young, affluent demographic, it also recognizes the importance of older, affluent women, who may be drawn to the brand by seeing Camila in this dress. Queen Camilla's appearance in an exquisite midnight blue silk Dior Couture Evening Her Garden cape drew applause from many royal fans.
