Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been dealt another major business blow as records show that US officials have rejected their application to trademark Archetypes, the name of their podcast series. The couple submitted an application to get exclusive rights to 'Archetypes', but the US Patent and Trademark Office has rejected their claims on the basis of a "likelihood of confusion" with an existing brand. It comes just days after their multi-million-pound deal with Spotify ended.
Chastain's comments were seen by some as a dig at Markle, who had claimed that she was chased by the paparazzi in New York City in 2021. However, Chastain's representatives later clarified that her comments were not intended to be malicious. They said that Chastain was simply making a joke about the absurdity of the situation.
The incident highlights the different ways that Meghan Markle and Jessica Chastain are treated by the media. Markle has been subjected to a sustained campaign of negative coverage, while Chastain has been largely spared. This difference in treatment is likely due to the fact that Markle is a member of the royal family, while Chastain is a Hollywood actress.
It is important to note that there is no concrete evidence to support Markle's claim that she was chased by the paparazzi in New York City. However, even if the claim is true, it is still worth considering the different ways that Markle and Chastain are treated by the media. The fact that Chastain can make a joke about being chased by the paparazzi, while Markle is accused of lying about it, is a reminder of the double standards that exist in the media.
