With the relaunch of her blog "The Tig," Meghan Markle is reportedly setting her sights on becoming the ultimate lifestyle queen, potentially challenging Hollywood's leading businesswomen, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Alba.
Meghan Markle Seeking to Dethrone Gwyneth Paltrow? Sources suggest that Prince Harry's wife has long admired Gwyneth Paltrow for building her online empire. However, Meghan now reportedly believes that the "Shakespeare in Love" actress is within her reach.
A source told National Enquirer, "There are plenty of other more successful sites to target and rivals she takes way more seriously - like J.Lo and Jessica Alba!"
The insider added that Meghan had to shut down "The Tig" in 2017 after becoming engaged to Prince Harry because the British royal family disapproved of her writing. But since stepping back from her royal duties in 2020 and settling in California, the Duchess of Sussex is now pursuing lucrative entertainment deals.
Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office indicate that Meghan Markle is eager to revive her blog and feature articles about "food, cooking, recipes, travel, relationships, fashion, style, interior design, lifestyle, the arts, culture, design, conscious living, health, and wellness."
Another source stated, "Make no mistake. Meghan wants - and expects - to be number one, and she's going to have fun beating out all the other lifestyle sites along the way."
Gwyneth Paltrow Ready to Defend Her Position? However, an additional insider revealed to the entertainment news outlet that Gwyneth Paltrow won't relinquish her position without a fight.
The source divulged, "For Gwyneth, this is like a red rag to a bull. She's still 100 percent committed to her brand and doesn't take kindly to upstart impostors trying to belittle her or knock her off her perch. It's going to get ugly - especially as they both live in Montecito. Meghan's encroaching on Gwyn's territory and targeting her entire audience."
At this time, Meghan Markle has not addressed the claims that she is vying for Gwyneth Paltrow's title. Therefore, fans of Prince Harry's wife should approach these unverified reports with skepticism until more information is confirmed.
As Meghan Markle seeks to reestablish herself within the lifestyle industry, it will be interesting to see how her blog "The Tig" develops and how it may compete with existing lifestyle brands led by celebrities. If these reports hold any truth, a new rivalry may be brewing in the world of celebrity lifestyle brands, potentially pitting Meghan Markle against Gwyneth Paltrow and other prominent figures like Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba.
