Harry and Meghan charity name battle

-

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex keep hitting stumbling blocks on their path to world domination.

I hear the California-based couple’s lawyers have pleaded for a six-month extension as they try to prevent their plans to trademark their charity being junked.

Prince Harry and Meghan’s legal team, led by Beverly Hills lawyer Marjorie Witter Norman, first applied to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for legal protection for the name of their charity, Archewell, last year.

But now the legal firm has asked for more time to get their documents in order.

They have been told they must file a ‘statement of use’ showing precise details of how the name will be used in commerce or fundraisin­g.

This is to prevent them just tying up the name with no intention of using it to trade.
