They ran away from the royal family and responsibilities but wanted to hang on to royal status to live independently while using it to make money by selling them selves to anyone that will entertain them.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Shameful Brand Plot Hits a Royal Hurdle What Meghan and Harry choose to peddle to audiences in the U.S. is entirely up to them. But in the U.K., where they know a thing or two about royalty, they aren't buying it. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped away from royal duties due to privacy concerns. Or so they claimed. Harry’s $1 million JPMorgan speech signaled the “coming out” party for Meghan and Harry’s new brand. Their plans have been disrupted by the Queen ordering them to stop using the Sussex Royal tag in their branding. It was all going so well. Meghan Markle and her real-life Prince Charming managed to negotiate their way out of royal life and the stresses that come with it. Not only that, they’d done so while managing to retain the components needed to kickstart their money-spinning brand and take full advantage of the royal name. Sure, they wouldn’t be able to use the HRH titles. That wasn’t ideal, but hey, they still had the far sexier “Sussex Royal” brand. Or so they thought. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had spent thousands of dollars to secure the trademarked rights to the Sussex Royal tag. There was a website launched with the name last month. That seems to have coincided with their announcement that they were too fragile for life in the public eye. Plans for the Sussex Royal brand had been well underway. There’s just one problem. It seems the Queen isn’t having any of it. |

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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51593708 |

An application to trademark the Sussex Royal brand has also been withdrawn. Just heard on a usa channel, they are apparently furious and Meghan is going to fight it - sounds unlikely.... |

The queen does not want this pair of sellouts being associated with the monarchy. People are not going to throw millions at this pair of chancers. We want are privacy except when it suits us to try to make money on the back of a so called charity foundation. |

More gossip treated as fact because it's about Meghan? I'm not shocked.

The Queen only has jurisdiction in this country therefore if Harry and Meghan wanted to sell themselves as Sussex Royal in the States, they can. They have said they won't do that to respect the Queen and her decision

They didn't have much respect when they set up the 'Sussex Brand' and trademarked hundreds of items in the first place behind her back months ago. |

The Royal brand part is true, the 'meghan is fighting it' hasn't been proved as fact and nobody has said it is and as such I said it was 'unlikely'. So what is your point? |

Big ****ing deal!
It's a new arrangement. They thought the brand was ok, queen disagreed. They've worked it out. At the end of the day the queen is in charge so they went along with her wishes. I'm sure they will manage without the royal in Sussex, everyone knows who they are. Another reason for those hostile to them to make a song and dance over nothing. Pathetic. I'm glad they left this hostile environment behind them. Last edited by Twosugars; 22-02-2020 at 06:55 PM. |

Why then have they decided to not use it in the states where the Queen can't stop them?

They already deceived her by setting up the Sussex royal brand and website without her consent beforehand. |

Deceived?
Check the meaning of the word before using it. They'd have deceived if they set up the brand but told her they didn't. But that didn't happen and so they didnt "deceive" her. |

As they would have had to have the implicit permission of the Queen, they did actually.

I disagree. Do try not to gloss over their underhand, deceptive actions like when they released their televised news of leaving the Royal family before telling the Queen and she found out about it 10 mins beforehand by a phone call telling her to go on her ipad.... I suppose that is okay too, eh?

Both those things can't be true. |
