Meghan Markle to Relaunch Lifestyle Blog 'The Tig'

Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was a highly regarded blogger as well as actress. The lifestyle blog ran from 2014 to 2017, with content focusing on fashion, beauty, food, travel, and the women Meghan admired, but as her relationship with Prince Harry became more serious, Meghan shut down the site in April 2017. (Their engagement was announced in November of that year.)

Moving forward to the present, the Mirror reports that Meghan has revived her blog and is trying to compete in the same space as Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop". According to details filed with the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office, the revamped "Tig" will offer tips on food, travel, fashion, art, design, conscious living and wellness, and "commentary in the area of personal relationships."

The website will go live "as early as next week," the Mirror reports (!).

[6 According to the Daily Mail, the website has received preliminary approval from the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office and will likely be a new source of income for the Sussexes.

"It became a really successful business, not just a hobby," Megan said of her former blog on Netflix's Harry & Megan series.

"I wasn't the type to do just one thing. I think that's why my website came about. There was fashion, there was a lot of food, there was travel.

Princess Meghan calls "The Tig" her "passion project," but chose to shut it down after "intense media scrutiny" over her relationship with Harry.
