Queen BANS Prince Harry and Meghan Markle from using lucrative 'Sussex Royal' brand that they hoped to use to build new lives because 'they simply cannot sell themselves as Royals’
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent tens of thousands of pounds on a new Sussex Royal website and their hugely popular Instagram feed
Couple sought to register Sussex Royal as global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and social-care services
Also looked to set up a new charitable organisation – Sussex Royal, The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex
But the Queen and senior officials are believed to have agreed it is no longer tenable for Harry and Meghan to keep the word 'royal' in their 'branding'

Good for the Queen, they shouldn't be able to capitalise on their royal status to make a ton of money (they are in talks with big banks and businesses, no less!)

They were paid £750, 000 last week for Harry to talk at a JP Morgan conference about the effect the death of his mother had on him. He has been roundly criticised for using Diana's death to make big bucks...

:/ What'll he do when "if" they get divorced?

[LaLaLand]

Makes sense to me.

Harry can't do an interview but people who were nothing to her can cash in on her life and death ad nauseum.

Sounds about right from the British press.

The science couldn’t be more clear. According to the latest UN climate report, we have less than 11 years to cut global emissions in half.

We followed the money. The data revealed that JPMorgan Chase, time and time again, is by far the worst funder of fossil fuels and fossil fuel expansion –– by a wide margin.

Since the Paris climate agreement, JPMorgan Chase’s $67 billion in finance for fossil fuel expansions is 68% higher than CitiBank, in distant second place. Clearly put, Chase is the world’s worst banker of climate change and we won’t back down until we stop them.

So much for the Sussexes stance on climate change...

That puzzle piece doesn't quite fit in the mis-shapen hole it's supposed to.

They are a newspaper in case you need reminded, like all the other newspspers who reported on her....Harry supposedly wanted privacy, but he gets on a stage and talks about his mother for mega bucks. William would never....

I'm sure I heard on the news he keeps his army ranks..

Lounging about in Canada as his soldiers Polish brass...yeah, nothing royal about that at all

Why would he not keep his ranks? Military achievement can't be taken away.

And I suppose lounging about in the UK on the taxpayer's dime was a better option?

Earning an army rank is not a privilege, it's an achievement.

Every soldier keeps his rank for life unless they are court marshalled and stripped for a crime.
He may retire from active service but his rank remain

I gave up at earning. Couldn't see for tears. .

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are to stop using their "SussexRoyal" brand from spring 2020.

A spokesperson for the couple said due to government rules around the use of the word "royal" it had been agreed not to name their non-profit organisation, the Sussex Royal Foundation.

So he has the privilege to lounge on the taxpayer's dime but not his own?

Logic.

All sorts of brands use the term "Royal" that have piss all to do with the royal family.

The point is though that senior royals aren't allowed to use their status to make big money.

....and businesses have to get permission first obviously

King, Queen or Royal

If you wish to use the name Royal, Queen or King in a company, you must seek permission from the Cabinet Office in London, the Scottish Government in Edinburgh, or the Welsh Assembly Government in Cardiff, depending in which UK jurisdiction your business is registered. You will have to include relevant information to support your case, e.g. the history or your business and/or future plans; a relevant association with the Government or Royal family; the relation of the sensitive word to a street name or surname; your business is an established public house (or similar) that has been using a particular business name for a considerable period of time.

I wonder how long they will keep their Instagram site running. The vast majority of the comments are scathing on everything they put up. Many of the comments on this post of theirs are related to Harry's JP Morgan speech.

Great news, awful couple

Harry on stage in front of the money obsessed bankers.

When I think of mummy it hurts, loud applause and shuffled off stage.

Absolute muppet.

I think that may have been the final straw for the Queen and why it is reported she is taking their 'royal' status branding away.

[bitontheslide]

i think this case is very specific. They made a definitive decision to step back from royal life, it is the height of hypocrisy to then start a business with Royal in the name. It's hilarious that people actually try to defend it
