Disaster is said to have erupted for Meghan Markle as she’s forced to « change track » of a major life decision, it has been revealed.
As it emerged that Meghan’s application to have her brand – American Riviera Orchard – trademarked was rejected, the 43-year-old has been given three months to respond to the « nonfinal officer action », which was issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Speaking about the process, a US-based source told the Mirror last month: « The process for acquiring a trademark is extremely rigorous. It would be a surprise if Meghan had not received one before in trying to get her application through.
« She is still very much committed to her brand and has three months to respond. There is no way this will lead to abandonment. »
The news comes after a pal spoke out about Harry and Meghan going through a major shift in their professional lives.
The pal told PEOPLE: « It’s clear that a twin-track approach is evolving. »
Also speaking about the couple, another pal added: « The Duke and Duchess have now hit their stride as individuals – not just as a couple. The Duke appears focused on his patronage work, and the Duchess focused on her entrepreneurial track. »
Discussing Meghan’s focus, they added: « An entrepreneurial and enterprise focus is going to be more the Duchess’s priority and the Duke will continue to champion his not-for-profit patronages. But there will be joint efforts around those cause-driven areas of work. »
Stating that it is in no way a reflection of their relationship and is based on Meghan and Harry’s parenting priorities, they added: « [It’s] as much a reflection on parenting priorities, in that one of them stays behind with the children. »
