Meghan Markle receives brutal response from US agency in latest blow for Duchess of Sussex

This would include the "American Riviera" nickname of the coastline near the Sussexes' mansion in Montecito, California.

Now, the same office is questioning the way the letter "O" for Orchard is depicted on the logo for the company, in a brutal new document.

In a "non-final action" document acquired by The Mail, USPTO wrote that the application has been reviewed by an examining attorney.

It read: "Applicant must submit an amended description of the mark that agrees with the mark on the drawing.

"The current description is inconsistent with the mark on the drawing and is thus inaccurate. Descriptions must be accurate and identify only those literal and design elements appearing in the mark.

"In particular, the current mark description indicates that the letter 'O' appears in the mark. However, the letter is now clearly visible or highly stylized that it is unrecognizable as a letter.

"Furthermore, the description is incomplete because it does not describe all the elements in the mark."

The office has offered to help Meghan create a "more accurate" logo.

They added: "The following description is suggested, if accurate: The mark consists of a double lined octagon enclosing the stylized and overlapping letters 'AR' and incorporating decorative and looping lines. The latter 'A' contains a stylized flower at the top of the letter."

The same document took issue with Meghan's descriptions of some of the goods she plans to market, saying they are "too broad".

These included "bath soap, cocktail napkins, pans, cooking utensils, namely forks, strainers, spoons, spreaders, spatulas, whisks, tongs".

Descriptions of "yoga blankets and meditation blankets" were scrutinised, as proper classifications should include the "gift wrap of fabric or textile", according to USPTO.

Meghan's lifestyle brand is set to include stationery sets, with letter openers, envelopes, printed note cards, printed holiday cards, greeting cards, invitations, recipe cards and embossed stationery.

The latest document suggested additional wording to clarify the classification.

GB News has approached the Duchess of Sussex's representatives for comment.
