Meghan Markle's new Netflix show is set to be released in 2025 as the Duchess of Sussex grapples with trademark issues.

The global trademark issues that Meghan is facing may have contributed to Netflix's decision to schedule her new show for 2025.


The Duchess of Sussex's American Riviera Orchard will be linked to her lifestyle and cooking show for the streaming giant.

The programme which so far does not have a title, has been pencilled in for a release date of mid-2025, according to the Mail.

Meghan Markle has sought to trademark the name of her brand for international use ahead of a full-scale launch.

However, records show that in July, some four months after requesting to register it, there were a number of "irregularities" which needed to be "corrected."

The Sussexes' lawyers were reportedly notified by the US Patents and Trademarks Office of various issues, including incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books.

The agency said that fees were due to various bodies around the world to register the trademark, totalling $11,382 (nearly £9,000).

While details about the company are still scarce it has been revealed that it will focus on home, garden, and general lifestyle content.

This includes strawberry jam, jars of which were sent to 50 influencers to taste test who shared the product with their followers online.

Royal commentator Tom Quinn argued that Prince Harry is powerless to help his wife with issues surrounding her business venture.

Quinn told The Mirror: "Harry has never had any real idea about becoming an entrepreneur or a businessman in his own right."

The commentator continued: "He is trained from birth to do one thing only - to be a royal, and he has thrown that away.

"His one hundred per cent support for his wife and her business ventures has never wavered - but it hasn't been enough to make a success of her company.

"Meghan is proof that self-belief won't always guarantee success. It won't always make you a great entrepreneur and businesswoman."
