Before its official launch, Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle company,

American Riviera Orchard, faced a significant obstacle due to a trademark refusal.
According to The Telegraph,the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) refused their trademark registration because businesses cannot operate under the names of physical sites.
The Duchess of Sussex,

Prince Harry, and their two children live in Santa Barbara, California, sometimes known as the “American Riviera.”

The setback was reported when Prince William, in his first public appearance after the summer vacation, returned to work sporting a stubble while visiting a homelessness display.

William and Kate first revealed the gruff appearance in a surprise video last month, congratulating Team GB on their Olympic success.

The substantially more casual appearance sparked discussion online. Some royal supporters asked him to keep his stubble, while others mocked him for seeming to be in “vacation mode.”
