The March 9 application listed items like bath soaps, body creams, cosmetics, scented oils, fragrances and incense. It also listed “Non-medicated skin care preparations; Bath and shower gels and salts not for medical purposes; Non-medicated hair preparations.”
The latest filing on March 19 broadened the brand, including “Gardening trowels; Garden weeding forks; Gardening shears; Bags specially adapted for holding gardening hand tools; Garden tool gift set, comprised of hand tools for gardening.”

It also said the brand might feature “coffee services in the nature of tableware; tea services in the nature of tableware; servingware for serving food and drinks; decanters” and other beverage wear.

During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted,” a statement said. “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer.”
Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis on March 22. The Princess of Wales, 42, has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment after a planned abdominal surgery showed “cancer had been present.” Middleton did not elaborate on the form or extent of the cancer in the video message shared at the time.
It has been an incredibly tough couple of months for our entire family, but I’ve had a fantastic medical team who have taken great care of me, for which I am so grateful,” Princess Kate said
Middleton is not expected to return to her official duties until cleared by her doctor.
“The Princess will return to official duties when she is cleared to do so by her medical team,” a Kensington Palace spokesperson told Fox News Digital. “She is in good spirits and is focused on making a full recovery.”
Markle and Prince Harry shared a message of support, noting they would be reaching out in private.
We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” a spokesperson for the Sussexes told Fox News Digital.
