The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have posted an extraordinary statement on their website claiming that the Queen does not own the word royal across the world after they were forced to drop their 'Sussex Royal' brand.
Harry and Meghan put a new statement on their own website hours after announcing they would stop using the word 'royal' in their branding after the Spring.
The statement said that while neither the government nor the Queen herself own the word 'royal' internationally, they would stop using the title.
The statement read: 'While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word "Royal" overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use "Sussex Royal" or any iteration of the word "Royal" in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020.'
They also appeared to complain that the palace is treating them differently to other family members.
The statement continued: 'While there is precedent for other titled members of the Royal Family to seek employment outside of the institution, for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a 12-month review period has been put in place.
'Per the agreement The Duke and Duchess of Sussex understand that they are required to step back from Royal duties and not undertake representative duties on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen.'
A spokesman for the couple first issued a statement to the media about their use of royal titles shortly after 7.30pm on Friday but around 10pm they shared a much longer statement on their website via their Instagram story.

He will rue the day he married that woman. I Collett the Paul McCartney syndrome. If all your family members warn you not to marry someone don’t marry them. I’m referring of course to Heather McCartney who made his life miserable and then took him to the cleaners.
One wonders if Harry was always a little liberal douchebag or if it just happened after he married WTF her name is and got infected ...
One indeed wonders... when one wonders at all, that is...
This couple (of what?) complain about privilege and then want to lord their titles over peon consumers.
Queen reaping what she sowed with the treatment of Diana. Paybacks are hell.
Charles screwed the pooch.
She says the Queen doesn’t control or own the term “Royal” branding however she and her lackey are doing everything in their power to trademark it for their use their out the world...huh? I believe the stories now that they ARE certainly being advised by the likes of the klintons somewhere in the background! They will get their due somewhere, somehow, someday!
Ba-Da-Boom!
“Millions of Americans are fascinated by Britain’s “royalty.””
This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion! It is ENTERTAINMENT. Me-Gain is like a participant on a really bad reality show. Ball-less Harry is no better. And then there is the Crazy Uncle who like young girls, although not as young as Uncle Joe likes....
She did wait a few days to long to acknowledge Diana’s death and took away here HRH title. But she has served 70 plus years.
Its because if Diana that she didnt take away MM’s HRH title. At 93, queen doesnt deserve what these two are doing and writing.
I thought it was Camilla!?
Poor lackey, I mean Harry, what a ‘royal’ pain in the arse shes going to be as long as they are together! He chase, he got it and one day he’ll beg (and pay dearly) to get rid of it!
It almost looks like Meghan is trying to get Harry to get fed up and leave. Then she’s free, and can live off royal welfare
That’s because it’s a natural part of being human.
“Typically the abuser is the man, but definitely not always. It starts with the abuser alienating and isolating the victim from family and friends; telling the victim that nobody loves him, or ever could, but her; speaking for him; controlling the home; etc. He needs to seek help.”
You’ve described my daughter’s marriage to her now ex-husband. She is in counseling and is starting to recover. He never HIT her. Just made her feel she deserved to be hit and grateful that he didn’t....bastard!
I think security costs are a big problem. Canadians dont want to pay. If they move to LA Americans don’t pay. The Brits wont want to pay when they are in USA. And Meghan and Harry dont want to pay out of their own pocket.
No! He says Charles is very religious and is drawn more toward his father’s Greek Orthodoxy then the Anglican tradition. What separates him from recognizable conservatism is his loopy environmentalism. All that Muslim stuff is “public diplomacy” both domestic & international taken out of context.
she probably longs for the days when she just could throw their ungrateful asses out a high tower window.
I call her Wallis Markle!
Since they no longer have official duties as members of the royal household using the word “royal” in THEIR dealings should be considered false advertising. It also gives the impression the queen endorses whatever they write or do- which could end up seriously embarrassing her. Lilybet needs to have a “Come to Jesus” moment with her grandson and the odious one.
