Meghan Markle isn't relaunching The Tig, reveals palace spokesperson
The Buckingham Palace denied rumours of the website relaunch.
Meghan Markle,the Duchess of Sussex has no plans to relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson has quashed the rumours.
Meghan Markle launched a lifestyle website in 2014 called The Tig. It quickly gained popularity and became a fairly prominent blog for her fans. However, she shut it down in 2017. There were rumours making the rounds recently that the duchess might be relaunching the site that was "her hub for the discerning palette."
Unfortunately, these were just rumours that got fans excited about. The palace spokesperson recently addressed the rumours and denied its possibility. According to the People, a palace spokesperson revealed that Markle has "absolutely no plans to relaunch the Tig."
The false word about the website's relaunch began spreading when the 38-year-old royal's business manager, Andrew Meyer was reportedly filing documents in the US on behalf of her in order to prevent the rights of her lifestyle blog. He was allegedly filing documents to renew the trademark. As per the renewal, the rights to The Tig stand valid until 2021.
"The lasting trademark is to prevent false branding, to avoid others purporting to be the Duchess or affiliated with her," the palace spokesperson told the aforementioned publication.
The former "Suits" actress shared her favourite food, travel tips and personal reflections on her website the name of which was inspired by the Italian wine Tignanello. In 2017, soon after she went public with Prince Harry, she announced that she was shutting down the blog.
"After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it's time to say goodbye to The Tig. What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity. You've made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy," she wrote to her fans on the homepage of he now-defunct website.
In other news, the mother-of-one who married Prince Harry in the year 2018, resumed her royal duties last week after four-months long maternity leave. The royal couple was blessed with a baby boy Archie Harrison, in May.
