Megan Markle has faced significant challenges in her business ventures, particularly with her clothing brand, “As Ever.” Initially, her brand ran into trouble when the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) denied her request to sell items like cooking aprons, jams, dog biscuits, and other clothing products under the brand name. The reason for the refusal stemmed from a pre-existing Chinese clothing brand with the same name. This brand, which supplies major retailers like H&M, had trademarked the name previously, and the USPTO determined that the names were "identical in sound" and almost identical in appearance, making them confusingly similar in the eyes of trademark law.
Megan and her legal team worked to address the issue, revising their application in January 2024 to exclude her clothing line from the brand. This amendment led to a more favorable outcome, and her brand was eventually approved. Despite these hurdles, Megan’s business ventures have continued, particularly with her lifestyle products being launched through Netflix. This came after her highly anticipated Netflix series, “With Love, Megan,” which premiered on March 4, 2025.

In the series, Megan shared her excitement about the launch of her business and expressed her surprise at how long they had kept the news under wraps. Her brand, “As Ever,” features a distinctive logo of two hummingbirds in mid-flight around a palm tree. However, the brand soon encountered additional difficulties when the mayor of Porr Mallorca accused it of copying the town’s coat of arms for its logo, further complicating her business efforts.
Megan’s Netflix series, “With Love, Megan,” also marks her first solo project with the streaming platform since signing with them in 2020. The series focuses on her lifestyle, and in the finale, her husband, Prince Harry, makes a brief appearance during a celebratory brunch. Despite being in the background, Harry expresses his support for Megan, telling her, “Well done, you did a great job, I love it.” Megan, in turn, gives a toast about her new business venture, “As Ever,” with Harry watching on. While Harry's role in the series is minimal, Megan shared that he frequently visited the set with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. She even revealed that Archie had the opportunity to help with the filming process by operating the clapboard.

The series represents a shift in the couple’s business strategy, marking a move toward individual projects. Their earlier Netflix series, “Harry & Megan,” was a massive success, breaking several streaming records, but Prince Harry’s solo projects have not garnered the same level of attention or success. Nonetheless, the couple has continued to focus on their individual initiatives, with Megan spearheading her lifestyle business and Netflix projects.
In addition to her professional endeavors, Megan Markle also took part in heartwarming public moments, such as her recent interaction with a British family at the 2025 Invictus Games. The Duchess was seen engaging with the Evans family from Lincoln at the Whistler Sliding Centre in Canada. The family, who had previously met the Sussexes at the Invictus Games in 2023, was gathered to support Mike Evans, who was competing in the skeleton event. Megan paid special attention to their two young children, Benjamin and Sebastian, as they shared stories about their snow tubing adventure. The encounter, which took place despite the freezing -9°C temperatures, exemplified Megan’s down-to-earth and approachable nature.

The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry, aim to showcase the power of sport in aiding recovery and rehabilitation for wounded veterans and members of the military. During the opening ceremony of the games, Prince Harry delivered a powerful speech about the resilience and courage of the athletes, emphasizing the importance of their stories and their ability to inspire others.
Despite the continued scrutiny and criticism of Megan Markle, she has remained steadfast in her endeavors. A notable example of this is the heartfelt tribute her longtime friend, Lindsay Jill Roth, paid to her in the dedication of Roth’s new book. Roth, who has been friends with Megan since their college days at Northwestern University, wrote a touching message for Megan, reflecting on their enduring friendship. In the book's dedication, Roth wrote, “Meg to be Sisters by choice, still thinking the same thing at the same time after all these years, no matter how many miles between us is my favorite part of our unbreakable bond.”

While Megan’s personal and professional life has faced constant public attention, including negative commentary from critics on shows like Good Morning Britain and Loose Women, and harsh reactions from online trolls, she continues to push forward with her projects. The relentless criticism from the so-called “Megan Brigade” hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her business ventures, making public appearances, and sharing her life with fans through Netflix and her brand. As the media continues to scrutinize her every move, Megan has shown resilience, as reflected in her ongoing work and public engagements, especially during her time at the Invictus Games and in the release of her Netflix series.
Through all these challenges, Megan Markle’s determination to succeed in her personal and professional life shines through, proving that despite external setbacks and criticisms, she remains committed to her goals. Whether it’s her brand, her work with Netflix, or her involvement in the Invictus Games, Megan continues to push boundaries and shape her own narrative
in the public eye.
