Meghans trademark not allowed

[Viviennemary]

The patent office apparently has turned down the trademark of Meghans new jam making business American Riviera Orchard on the grounds that you can't trademark geographical locations. You would have thought somebody would have picked up on this before now.

Yikes, but what else to expect from Netflix. Purveyors of “the crown “. Apparently it’s a shite series, so launching it to controversy is a way to get more people aware of it. Other wise it would fade into obscurity. I suspect Harry didn’t have anything to do with its timing. More Netflix saw an opportunity. Sick as that is.

Didn't the upstaging start with a pregnancy announcement at a wedding?

I honestly can.

It’s not a good look is it. (For Netflix as well as the Sussexes).

The only good thing could be that the squad are hopefully posting online about it, rather than throwing hate at Catherine.

I actually don't think the Netflix thing is anything to even be noted. It's a limited series with limited appeal. It's not even worthy of note.

They're making themselves look churlish , bitter and pathetic (H&M) . Catherine has had a serious illness and has released a lovely video to 'celebrate' the end of her chemo. The Sussexes couldn't let her have her moment could they?

As said, I understand it’s a bit shit, and I doubt Netflix give a shit about Harry and Megan, they’d have been waiting for something coming out from the palace so they can put an announcement out, get some controversy and get the series some attention. It’s what Harry and Megan do, look at their announcements when William did the Diana awards, announced aro and archewell award. They try to tie themselves to anything they can that’s royal.

susoect they will try to distance themselves. Something like excited about the series, the timing was not their choice and it was already planned.

No. I think that's low, even for them.

For some reason It makes me think of les mis. William, Kate and family being Jean valjean and cossette and Harry and Megan being the cruel grabby inn keeper and his wife. 😂

The first announcement of the Meghan and Harry’s Netflix documentary came just as William and Kate arrived in Boston for the Earthshot Prize ceremony too. It’s clearly a deliberate strategy.

Agree. It’s clearly deliberate.

And pathetic. Almost as if they need a royal announcement to hang their stuff on to.

Could it not be a "good day to bury bad news" scenario - NF release the date when other news is dominating? Done and dusted contractally

The Polo tweet from NF has had 366k views in 3hrs
The PoW tweet has had 3.6million in 4hrs

Interesting that Netflix didn’t announce Meghan’s cooking show - that would have been much bigger news.

Maybe they are saving that for the Princess’ carol service that it’s been suggested will go ahead this year? Guess we’ll find out!

Nah, they are trying to get it attention, why would Netflix want to bury their own show.

Probably when KC tells us he is cancer free

yikes. That did make me cringe 😂

suspect there is some issues with that due to the aro brand failure,

They don't really have to "make" themselves do that - after all they do it quite naturally and all the time

As Serenster said, there's no room left for doubt now about this being deliberate, but what a shame they can't produce anything in the moment apart from some show about a subject very, very few are interessted in

The Squad are in overdrive, whooping up the polo show and pissing on Catherine's video. Plus ca change.

Well they only succeed in looking like anyone else pissing in the street, desperate and undignified.

Utter grifters.

The only good thing to come out of this is that I’d imagine the entire RF will be utterly enraged by this. They all care about Kate and this is just petty and pathetic, trying to overshadow someone’s cancer recovery. It doesn’t get much lowe than this.

Honestly the text messages that must be going on between them right now….

Absolutely toxic. But as you rightly posted, no surprise. It’s always a race to the bottom with them.

The dress Catherine wears in the video apparently sold out within two hours of the video going online!
In contrast, Meghan usually wears past season now as she doesn’t have this effect anymore. (Such as the outfit worn for her appearance/performance at the book store).

It’s also interesting that there have been no leaks from Kensington Palace or Buckingham Palace. Debunking Harry’s rhetoric again. Yet ironically, leaks galore from the Sussex side. Invites to Althorp etc, there’s always something “from a source” on an almost daily basis. It’s all so pathetic and desperate.

Oprah looked incredibly dowdy and wrinkled in the bookstore video. BTW, I read "The Bench" when it was in a pile on the Target $5.00 table. Not a children's classic.

They really are a pathetic and jealous pair.
