Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had a bit of a setback on their road to financial independence. They set up a charity foundation and formally applied for the "Sussex Royal" trademark to sell their products, but someone filed a formal opposition to the trademark. [HELLO!

A formal "Notice of Notice of Opposition" was registered on Tuesday, according to documents from the Government Intellectual Property Office. Harry and Meghan's opposition period (during which anyone who opposes the trademark can file a complaint) has been extended until at least March 20, although it was originally scheduled to end on February 20. The opposition was filed by Benjamin Wooster of Victoria, Australia, who reportedly studied medicine at University College London and worked as a doctor for the NHS in London between 2011 and 2014. The reason for his objection is not yet known.

Strange, isn't it? That this random person (a random person, as far as we know, who may have a legitimate reason that we don't know about, but so far it is unknown) would file a formal objection? I have a feeling that if he were to give an interview, he would explain why. The fact that he used to work as a doctor in London ...... It may have something to do with it."
