Privacy NoticePrince William and his wife Kate are extremely popular in the United States, and now news comes that the couple have re-applied for US trademarks for their Royal Foundation, a hint that they are planning at some future point to launch a charity across the Atlantic. With a focus on mental health, it is believed the request to the US Patent and Trademark Office includes “printed race numbers, clothing, footwear, headgear,” possibly indicating there are plans for charity fun runs or races in support of mental health. While it is a positive sign that the Princess of Wales is slowly returning to work following her cancer treatment, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, speaking exclusively to OK!, does not believe this indicates that William and Kate are intending to make any big moves in America just yet. “I don’t think we should read too much into this, as it has been suggested this is more a case of housekeeping – probably keeping the application within its legal time limits or something similar,” she says. “There doesn’t seem to be any imminent move to launch an American initiative.”

“But the very fact that they want to keep the application viable does suggest that, looking to the future, there may be new plans afoot,” Jennie continues, while adding a note of caution. “And that of course is positive. I certainly wouldn’t want to put any kind of spin on the interest in moving into America. We shouldn’t try to set up imaginary rivalries between William and Catherine /Harry and Meghan. They’ve got enough problems without us adding more unfounded speculation. “But William and Catherine are clearly very popular in the United States. I’ve no doubt that if the Foundation can help with the many issues surrounding mental health worldwide, then that support would be welcomed… and would carry with it a good deal of heft because of William and Catherine.” Sign up to OK!’s royal newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Kate, 42, recently revealed she had completed her chemotherapy treatment for cancer, and on Thursday 26 September she made her first public outing since the announcement, attending the matinee performance of Giselle by the English National Ballet at Sadlers Wells theatre. The future Queen, 42, was so moved by the performance, she shared a personal message on X, saying: “Congratulations and thank you to @ENBallet and @Sadlers_Wells for the wonderfully powerful, moving and inspiring performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle. Creativity at its best! C” Kate is also planning her return to Royal duties, confirming this week her intention to host her annual charity carol concert at Westminster Abbey in December. The Together At Christmas event, now in its fourth year, will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve. She also held her first meeting at Windsor Castle on Wednesday 18 September, an Early Years meeting that supports early child development, one of Kate’s most cherished projects.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
