It is expected that Meghan Markle will soon relaunch her lifestyle blog, The Tig, five years after having shut it down. According to The Sun, the Duchess of Sussex recently applied to have The Tig trademark reinstated, something which will assuredly excite her fanbase.

The couple went further explaining that “since the inception of Archewell,” they have worked “to address the real-time global misinformation crisis.”
The royal couple went on to detail the work they have been doing with the platform, saying, “Hundreds of millions of people are affected by the serious harms of mis- and disinformation every day. Last April, our co-founders began expressing concerns to our partners at Spotify about the all too real consequences of Covid misinformation on its platform.
