William and Kate Strengthen Charity Efforts in US, Focus on Mental Health Services
The Prince and Princess of Wales are advancing their charity work in the US by submitting trademark documents for their Royal Foundation, indicating a focus on mental health services. This development comes shortly after Kate resumed her public duties post-cancer treatment, causing concern for Meghan Markle, who feels the couple's plans may encroach on her territory.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are taking significant steps toward establishing their charitable work in the United States, shortly after Kate resumed her public duties following her cancer treatment. They have reportedly completed necessary official documentation for their Royal Foundation charity in America, as reported by UK's Mirror.
Trademark Application and Mental Health Services
The trademark application submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office includes provisions for "healthcare services relating to mental health." This focus may intersect with the initiatives of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the US. A source informed OK! magazine that Meghan expressed surprise upon learning of Kate and William's intentions to expand their work in America following the trademark application. The source noted that while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made visits to the US, Meghan now perceives this as the Wales family encroaching on her established domain.
Initial Trademark Efforts and Recent Developments
The Wales initially filed for a US trademark concentrated on mental health initiatives in May of the previous year, but progress was reportedly stalled due to Kate's health challenges. According to palace insiders who spoke to Tatler magazine, the revival of these plans is viewed more as "internal housekeeping." Nevertheless, this initiative is seen as a hopeful sign of Kate's ongoing recovery. Earlier this month, Kate announced through a personal video released by the Palace that she had successfully completed her chemotherapy and was eager to return to work and engage in public appearances as soon as she was able.
Upcoming Engagements and Public Duties
Since her recovery, Kate has made her first appearance in the official Court Circular for the year, hosting a meeting with her Centre for Early Childhood team. Additionally, she is reportedly in the process of organizing her annual televised Christmas carol concert, which takes place at Westminster Abbey. This marks a significant return to her public duties and sets the stage for the Wales' expanded philanthropic efforts in the United States.
