A filing from Australia is now blocking Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s plans to trademark their “Sussex Royal” brand by a doctor in Australia. The couple could face a legal battle.
After finally taking their first steps since their royal exit to what Prince Harry called his plans for a “peaceful life,” him and Meghan Markle’s plans for their brand is in jeopardy.
According to Daily Mail, the couple had been attempting to trademark their brand “Sussex Royal.” However, on Tuesday, a notice of opposition was filed by a doctor in Australia to prevent the move.
Documents at the Government’s Intellectual Property Office show Dr. Benjamin Worcester, who lives in Australia filed the complaint.
He is believed to be based in Melbourne and was an NHS doctor, who worked there from 2011 to 2014.
