Meghan Markle could collaborate with pals' brands to cash in on next career move
Meghan Markle's blog The Tig has been rumoured to be relaunching for a while now.
The Duchess of Sussex ran a blog for a few years before she met her husband Prince Harry. The Tig was her self-described "passion project" and posted recipes, travel tips, and personal photos of her adventures over the years. She shut down the blog in 2017 as she started to adjust to the royal life as Harry's fiancée at the time.
Meghan's team has reportedly filed for new trademarks for The Tig through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The new Tig uses the same logo Meghan used before but seems to cover more than just travel and cooking tips, according to TMZ.
Meghan was granted a Notice of Allowance in April after no one filed an opposition to her trademark application. Her next steps need to include a Statement of Use that shows that the website is up and running and being actively updated. If she does that before October, in about a month, the trademark will be approved.

The Tig could be coming back (meghanmaven.com)The trademark filing said the new website wants to focus on "food, cooking, recipes, travel, relationships, fashion, style, lifestyle, the arts, culture, design, conscious living, and health and wellness." Rumours have swirled that the Duchess wants to create something to rival Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop brand, and this description adds fuel to those claims.
With that being said, here are all the celebrities Meghan could collaborate with, should she relaunch the site.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Although they're being pitted against each other, Meghan and actress Gwyneth could be a pair powerhouse bloggers together, with the Duchess helping out her friend by flogging her goop beauty, wellness and home products on the site.
After all, back in May Meghan and her husband Prince Harry were spotted heading out to dinner with Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Brad Falchuk, so they could have been talking business. Cameron Diaz and her rocker husband Benji Madden reportedly joined the crew.

Victoria Beckham and Meghan used to be close pals, but earlier this year it was claimed that Meghan and Prince accused her of leaking stories to the press. Reportedly, Victoria's husband David Beckham was left "absolutely b****y furious" at the accusations.
It's also said the former Spice Girl and footballer cut off ties with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex immediately. However, should the Duchess and the Spice Girl reconnect, Meghan could work with Victoria's eponymous beauty brand and fashion label, reviewing and selling her products via the site.

Meghan and Beyonce's friendship was almost instant and the women were giving glimmers of support to each other long before they eventually met, so it wouldn't be a shock if Meghan collaborated with the singer's fashion label Ivy Park via The Tig.
It turns out that Meghan was a Beyonce fan before their relationship even flourished. Meghan and Harry even played Beyoncé at their wedding in 2019, according to DJ Idris Elba. That sweet, kind nod was returned by Beyoncé and Jay-Z the year after when the duo won a BRIT award, they filmed their acceptance speech in front of a portrait of Meghan.

Meghan and Ellen DeGeneres have become very close friends over the years, even though chat show host awkwardly doesn't even remember their first meeting. Shortly after Archie was born, Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, went over to visit the couple and their newborn in London, and now the pair are neighbours in Montecito.

Since The Tig is a lifestyle blog, Meghan could promote Ellen's furniture brand ED by Ellen, which flogs fancy table lamps, bar accessory sets and more.

The former Scandal actress wrote her autobiography, Thicker Than Water, which released earlier this year, so Meghan could review the book, which has been hailed as an "instant New York Times bestseller" by Meghan's pal Oprah Winfrey.
