Meghan Markle Faces Logo Dispute Over Resemblance to Mallorcan Town's Emblem

The mayor of Porreres, Mallorca, raises concerns over similarities between the town's historic emblem and the logo for Meghan's new lifestyle brand, 'As Ever.'

• Meghan Markle's newly launched lifestyle brand, 'As Ever,' is under scrutiny for its logo, which features a palm tree and two hummingbirds, closely resembling the emblem of Porreres, a small town in Mallorca.
• The emblem of Porreres, dating back to 1370, depicts a palm tree flanked by two swallows in vibrant colors, while Meghan's logo adopts a minimalist design with hummingbirds in muted tones.
• Mayor Xisca Mora of Porreres initially considered legal action but ultimately decided against it, citing high costs and logistical challenges for the small town.
• Instead of pursuing litigation, the mayor suggested a potential collaboration, such as promoting the town's famous apricot jam through Meghan's brand, though no response has been reported from Meghan's team.
• Separately, a New York clothing brand also named 'As Ever' has expressed concerns over potential trademark conflicts, further complicating the launch of Meghan's business venture.
