Princess Kate has been named as a style inspiration in a hit Netflix show, just as Meghan Markle recently suffered a blow from the streaming giant.
The fourth season of Emily in Paris was just released on Netflix, with the main character referring to the Princess of Wales early on.
Emily in Paris is known for its outlandish wardrobe, with costume designer Marylin Fitoussi frequently pushing boundaries.
Characters Emily, played by Lily Collins, and Mindy, played by Ashley Park, referred to the Princess of Wales in the first episode.
When Mindy’s boyfriend Nico gave her an outfit from JVMA, Emily described the look as “a little more Kate Middleton” than Mindy usually wears.
Kate’s reference in the hit Netflix show comes as her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, is gearing up to executive produce a new cooking and lifestyle series for the streaming giant.
However, the Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍’s show is set to be released in 2025 as Meghan grapples with trademark issues.
These global trademark issues may have contributed to Netflix’s decision to schedule Meghan’s new show for 2025.
The duchess’s lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, will be linked to her upcoming cooking show.
The programme, which so far does not have a title, has been pencilled in for a release date of mid-2025, according to The Mail.
Meghan has sought to trademark the name of her brand for international use ahead of a full-scale launch.
Records showed that in July, some four months after requesting to register it, there were several “irregularities” which needed to be “corrected”.
The Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍es’ lawyers were notified by the US Patents and Trademarks Office of various issues, including incorrect classification of yoga blankets, picnic baskets and recipe books.
The agency said that fees were due to various bodies around the world to register the trademark, totalling $11,382 (nearly £9,000).
While details about the new series are still scarce, it has been revealed that it will focus on home, garden, and general lifestyle content.
This includes strawberry jam, jars of which were sent to 50 influencers to taste test who shared the product with their followers online.
