Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Trademark Their Kids’ Names
According to an insider report, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken steps towards trademarking both their children’s names, making sure no email addresses, social media handles, or domain names could be created using their name or likeness. Many celebrities often do this when their children are young to set them up for future commercial use, which would go against much of what Harry and Meghan preach themselves.
This comes as Meghan dropped the news of a new product for her As Ever brand: $64 candles. As part of her Mother’s Day collection, the candles will drop on Wednesday, and both are inspired by her children. Signature Candle No. 506 is a nod to Archie’s birthday, May 6th, with press materials reading describing “a warm, comforting scent inspired by Prince Archie of Sussex’s birthdate, bringing a soft, familiar ease into the room.”
“This candle is inspired by Meghan’s son, Prince Archie,” the statement says.
The second candle, Signature Candle No. 604, is similarly a nod to Princess Lilibet. “A light, floral scent inspired by Princess Lilibet of Sussex’s birthdate, adding a sense of brightness and openness to the home,” the press release describes.

Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, royal fans were outraged at both the attempts to trademark Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s names as well as Meghan’s new candles. “Now she’s cashing in on the kids’ royal titles by hawking a $56 candle!” one person wrote on X. “The merching of the kids and their titles especially, has now hit, IMO, fraudulence levels!”
“This is blatant advertising using the kids titles,” another person pointed out. “I thought it was against royal family rules to use titles for profit!”
“Meghan Markle monetizing and exploiting her children and their ridiculous titles is a whole level of disgusting,” another person tweeted.
“I just can’t fathom exploiting my children that way, making money off of their existence while complaining about the press and social media,” another said.
