“I’ve never really been the type of person to just do one thing, I guess that’s how my website was born,” he said in the second episode of the series, which premiered Thursday.
‘There was fashion, tons of food and travel, all the things I loved. Tig wasn’t just a hobby, it became a really successful business.’
Meghan started the website while starring in the US drama Suits and named it after her favorite type of wine, Tignanello.
“It was an ah-ha moment at its best,” he blogged about tasting wine for the first time. “For me it became a ‘Tig’ moment, a get it moment.”
Meghan’s longtime friend, Suits director and producer Silver Tree, explained in the docuseries: “When she first described [the blog] to me, she was like, “It’s like your best friend told you all the fun things you’d like to know in one place.”

Earlier this year, DailyMail.com discovered public records showing Los Angeles-based attorney Marjorie Witter Norman had filed a new application to register the actress’ name in July 2020.
A similar application was filed in 2019, but it had expired. At the time, her representative said in a statement: “The enduring brand is to prevent false branding, to prevent others from pretending to be the Duchess or being affiliated with her.”
Last month, it was announced that Meghan’s offer to trademark The Tig was “under review” by the US Patent and Trademark Office.
The records showed that the application had been rectified and resubmitted six months later. It seems that only time will tell if The Tig is going to return.
