Royals: Allegations of plagiarism against Duchess Meghan in Mallorca

Duchess Meghan excited the minds in a sleepy place in Mallorca. In the realignment of her lifestyle brand, Prince Harry’s wife decided to have a logo that looks very similar to the coat of arms of the municipality of Porreres in the interior of the island. The mayor of the place, Xisca Mora, announced that Meghan to ask Meghan to withdraw the logo.

This is a “total copy” of Porreres’ coat of arms, Mora told the Spanish newspaper “El País”. Meghan was also criticized on social media. The 43-year-old had announced the renaming of her brand of “American Riviera Orchard” in “AS Ever” on Instagram. On request, the spokesman for Harry and Meghan initially did not comment on the case.

Dispute over a palm tree with two birds

The similarity of the brand appearance to the city coat of arms of the 6,000-inhabitant community cannot be dismissed: in both cases a palm tree with two birds can be seen on the side. “It is practically an identical picture,” wrote “El País”.

However, the color choice differs, on the city coat of arms from 1370, swallows can be seen, with Meghans probably Kolibris. “It would be bad for us if a picture was misused that identified us,” said Mayor Mora, who will probably do without legal steps.

A small town against the Royals?

The politician said that she spoke to her city’s legal department. “A plagiarism display is complicated and expensive, and a small city like ours is unable to fight against the English crown,” said Mora. Therefore, one will initially limit yourself to the request to withdraw the logo.

In an interview with the regional newspaper “Ara Balears”, the mayor suspected that Meghan had “operated agrartourism” in Mallorca and the coat of arms – which can be seen in Porreres in many places. “It’s surreal … we feel international,” said Mora. “At least many people around the world will now learn that there is a city in the interior of Mallorca that has this coat of arms.”

Harry and Meghan always have to deal with negative reporting. Most recently, it was about the prince’s visa – the royal couple has been living in the USA for several years. In the course of the discussions, US President Donald Trump said about Harry: “He has enough problems with his wife. She is terrible.”
