Recent reports suggest that Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has been engaging in social interactions with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, indicating a potential expansion into the realm of wellness branding.
Sources indicate that Markle, known for her previous role in the TV series “Suits,” is looking to redefine her public image and focus on a more comprehensive wellness-oriented approach, following in the footsteps of Paltrow’s successful wellness brand, Goop.
Royal expert Tessa Dunlop shed light on this intriguing development during an interview with OK magazine. According to Dunlop, Markle’s choice to maintain a close connection with Paltrow reflects her intention to transition from her acting career to a more expansive role in the wellness industry. Dunlop explained, “Meghan has been spending time with Gwyneth Paltrow and has shifted her focus from acting to a broader wellness-oriented direction.”
Dunlop continued, “There are speculations circulating about a potential revamp of Meghan’s Instagram presence, with the likelihood of her endorsing wellness products under her personal brand. Even in Meghan and Harry’s discussions about their ventures as film producers, Meghan expressed a particular fondness for ‘romantic comedies,’ which aligns with the notion of ’emotional wellness.’ It seems that this is the trajectory their brand is poised to take.”
This strategic move follows earlier reports that Meghan Markle is considering the revival of her lifestyle blog, The Tig, a passion project she initiated in 2014 and discontinued in 2017. Rumors circulated about her submitting a trademark application for the blog’s name in November of the previous year. Subsequently, the US Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance for the blog’s name. To bring this initiative to fruition, Markle is required to submit a statement of use by the looming October deadline. In the event of a delay, she has the option to secure a six-month extension.
As Markle continues to explore new avenues, her partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow underscores her commitment to embracing holistic wellness and potentially redefining her brand identity beyond her acting career. This intriguing collaboration promises to reshape the public’s perception of the Duchess of Sussex and position her as a formidable presence in the wellness industry. With October on the horizon, all eyes are on Meghan Markle as she navigates this exciting phase of her journey.
