Page Six reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have claimed their children's names for emails, social media handles, and domain names. However, a source told the outlet that the couple has not sought trademark protection for Archie and Lilibet's names. The contradiction has fueled debate about the couple's commercial intentions regarding their children.
Meghan Markle used her children's names and birthdates for candles in her As Ever collection, according to reports. This has drawn criticism given her previous expressions of concern for Archie and Lilibet's safety. A fan on X wrote, "Meghan Markle went from caring about 'her babies' safety to splashing their names on candles for a buck while Harry waits for an outcome on his security case against the Home office." According to Daily Express - Royal, an industry source described the situation as not about safeguarding the children but about what the couple plans to do with the names. It remains unclear whether the candles are officially licensed or approved by the children.
It's not about safeguarding the children - that's understandable. It's what you plan to do with [it] that's the key.
