Meghan Markle, ever since returning from maternity leave these past few weeks, has been very busy. The Duchess of Sussex has dedicated her time to several passion projects, including her capsule collection of workwear she designed for charity SmartWorks. But, royal fans are now speculating there might be something else in the works.

According to The Sun, Markle’s business manager, Andrew Meyer, recently filed to renew the trademark for The Tig, the lifestyle blog she started in 2014 as a “hub for the discerning palette – those hungry for food, travel, fashion and beauty.”
Meghan closed the site in 2017, just days before her engagement to Prince Harry was announced.
Renewing the trademark, which was done through a company called Frim Fram, means that she gets to keep the rights to The Tig’s name until 2021.
That’s not the only thing, though. The Sun further reports that Frim Fram also lists another website under its trademark umbrella called Tigtots.
“It’s fascinating Meghan’s business manager has ensured she keeps The Tig for a few more years at least,” a “royal insider,” told The Sun. “Of course it’s understandable she wouldn’t want an entrepreneur using the name without her involvement. But given her desire to be a different type of royal—pushing her own causes using digital and social media—it’s not out of the question she’d think The Tig could play an important role.”
But, Meghan’s rep has claimed fans shouldn’t get excited about the trademark.
“The lasting trademark is to prevent false branding, to avoid others purporting to be the Duchess or affiliated with her,” Markle’s spokesperson told The Sun.
Trademarking as a preventative measure is not uncommon for celebrities and high-profile stars. Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner reportedly trademarked their kids’ names recently to ensure they remain legally protected.
