Meghan Markle has encountered another obstacle in her effort to launch her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The Duchess of Sussex’s trademark application was recently denied, giving her just three months to amend her request or face removal from the register.
As she navigates this urgent deadline alongside her impending brand launch and its related Netflix series, Meghan reportedly faces waning support from her Hollywood connections. According to a source, Kris Jenner, the Kardashian matriarch, has distanced herself from Meghan and excluded her from her circle of A-list friends.
“Kris hasn’t exactly cut ties, but she has certainly cooled off the plans to work with the Sussexes. It seems Meghan is no longer in her inner social circle,” an insider told *Closer* magazine.
The source also noted, “Meghan and Harry are no longer making the invite list these days, and Kris has stopped mentioning their collaborative projects. It’s a noticeable shift from just a few months ago.”
Kris was previously one of the Hollywood A-listers who received a limited edition of Meghan’s homemade strawberry jam from her upcoming label. The insider speculated that Jenner’s changed stance might be due to her busy schedule, though some wonder if the decision reflects the Sussexes’ declining public opinion ratings.
