Meghan’s big web relaunch hits a snag...

BEFORE getting engaged to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle ran a lifestyle blog, The Tig, puffing everything from her favourite wines to her most pleasurable holidays.

The Suits actress was forced to ditch it when she married into the Royal Family, but sparked speculation she was planning a relaunch last September when she applied to reactivate The Tig trademark.

I can reveal there was, however, one flaw in the application — she failed to sign it. Now, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has informed the Duchess of Sussex she will have to twiddle her thumbs for six months before being able to apply again.

It has also told her the original description of the website was ‘too broad’. The more detailed selection of subjects Meghan’s planning to cover include food, cooking, recipes, travel, relationships, fashion, style, lifestyle, the arts, culture, design, conscious living, and health and wellness.

Last month, I disclosed that she had applied to trademark the word ‘archetypes’, which first appeared in the English language 470 years ago, after deciding to use it for the title of her Spotify podcast.

THE Queen’s dream of a Derby winner seems lost this year. Her Derby hopeful, Reach For The Moon, will miss the showpiece event at Epsom next month after suffering a setback in its recovery from injury.

Reach For The Moon was fancied by many to be a horse that could reward the monarch with one of sport’s biggest prizes. The Derby is the one major race that the Queen has not managed to win.

‘We had planned to run him in the Dante Stakes at York,’ says trainer John Gosden. ‘However, in the best interests of the horse, we have decided that this race is coming too soon for him.

‘Consequently, he will not run in the Derby and will be pointed towards Royal Ascot.’
