Still, it looks like Meghan Markle will soon be making more money by bringing back her wellness and lifestyle blog, the Tig.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, given the difficulties with her own family and her in-laws, it’s thought that the mother of two could also become a terrified of it.
Details from the US Trademark and Patent Office indicate that she may be dishing out “personal relationship comments.”
The website is set to go live next week and could become the latest money-making venture for the Duke and Duchess after they were cut off from royal funds.
Insiders say Meghan hopes to emulate Gwyneth’s mega-successful site, which runs a lucrative trade in New Age wellness luxuries, such as vagina-scented candles.
Meghan founded The Tig, named after her favorite red wine, in 2014 while starring in legal drama Suits.
It contained tips on food, wellness, fashion, travel, fashion, art, design and conscious living.

“There was fashion, lots of food and travel – all the things I loved. The Tig wasn’t just a hobby, it became a very successful business.’
She called it her “passion project” and used it as her personal blog for three years until her engagement to Prince Harry, when it was deactivated due to “intense media attention.”
Meghan launched the website while starring in the American drama Suits.
She named it after her favorite wine, Tignanello.
“It was an ah-ha moment at best,” she wrote on the blog of trying the wine for the first time. “For me it became a ‘Tig’ moment – a moment to get it.”
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 having your best friend tell you all the fun stuff you wish you knew in one place.”‘
The mother of two used the website to share her thoughts on everything from feminism to her passion for philanthropy.
The 41-year-old Duchess of Sussex first launched the website – which she labeled her ‘passion project’ – in 2014 and for three years she used it as her personal blog
However, it was deactivated in April 2017, just months before she got engaged to her now-husband, Prince Harry
Rumors have been circulating that the lifestyle blog could return since news hit the internet in January this year that it had applied to trademark the name months earlier
And the Duchess fueled speculation around the blog after she brought up the ‘success’ in her and Harry’s Netflix documentary
An avid foodie, she also shared recipes — as well as makeup and beauty tips, travel advice, and interviews with her celebrity friends, including tennis star Serena Williams and actress Priyanka Chopra.
When she closed the blog in 2017, she reflected on how it “evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun, and frivolity.”
She also encouraged her readers to “remember their worth” and “keep finding those Tig moments of discovery.”
According to royal biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, she decided to end The Tig because of the “intense media attention” she faced during her relationship with Harry.
“It wasn’t so much that her blog was criticized as used to fuel false speculation about her personal life with the Prince,” they wrote in their book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family . per Cheat sheet.
“If she and Harry weren’t seen in three days, someone on a gossip blog would pull out her recipe for acai bowls and write a story saying that’s what she served her new man.”

For Father’s Day in June 2014, Meghan dedicated a post to her retired Hollywood lighting director father Thomas Markle, 78.
She called him “thoughtful, inspiring, hardworking” and praised him for the “blood, sweat, and tears of this man (who came from so few in a small Pennsylvania town, where Christmas stockings were filled with oranges and dinners were potatoes and spam) . ) invested in my future so I could grow up and have so much.”
The Duchess recalled that her father “religiously” took her to her dance lessons every Saturday morning – despite working more than 75 hours a week.
She also noted that he was determined to light her high school musicals, as well as the fishing trips the duo would enjoy and the lessons he taught her – including writing thank-you notes and always being early on occasions.
Meghan – who is known to be close to her mother Doria – also shared the life lessons her mother taught her in a blog post surfaced from The Tig in May 2014.

The Duchess explained how she finally understood all the moments when her parent, 66, who she says was a “free spirit,” tried to protect her, whether to appreciate the outdoors or learn history.
She mentioned jogging together, enjoying bike rides after school, cooking with each other, and going on vacation to Oaxaca, Mexico — and recalled visiting her grandmothers with her mother.
Meghan wrote, “She kept me safe. She taught me to take care of my body. She introduced me to history and fostered a love of being outdoors.
She planted the seed for me to become a foodie. She showed me how to be a daughter, not just in that moment, but for when I became that grown woman. For now. And in thirty years. She loved me. So tight.
“To all the wonderful moms in the world, thank you. For all the lessons, for all the love. For you. I love you mom.’
