The Queen doesn't own the word 'Royal', say Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Couple complain about their treatment in lengthy statement after Her Majesty forces them to drop Sussex Royal brand

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.

Why shouldn’t Americans closely follow the doings of Britain’s royals? Women like it, and the endless drama of Britain’s low life, grifting royals has no off-season and is a useful fill-in when better diversions like traffic wrecks, a pro ball game, or professional wrestling are momentarily lacking.

You take away the term royal from Meghan and all her plans start to fall apart; and the cuck isn’t looking so good now.

“ At some point, the top tier celebrities are going to run away from them.”

I can’t imagine any celeb would be caught near them. They have chosen financial failure and exile.

In a couple of years they’ll be a mess and no one will want to have been with them in a photo

Shades of Diana & Wallis, an evergreen train wreck! Her Majesty looks at this and Prince Andrew and then wonders why she can’t go all Henry II on certain pestiferous persons!

My first boss once told me about diddling with a loser: the screwing you will get will be nothing like the screwing you will get later.

They are being advised by Hillary and the Obamas. How do you expect them to behave?? Their ‘Foundation’ is supposed to fund them just as ‘The Obama Foundation’ and The Clinton Foundation’ fund both those grifter families. If the Suxesses don’t have any influence to sell how do you expect them to live like the ‘Royals’ that they were? I sure HOPE the Queen takes away their titles too, then they cannot claim ‘Royal’ anymore. I sure hope all the Libs get fed up with them just as we all are.

I am using it to beat the sense into young family members..in a subtle way.

Get a prenup so you are protected if you fall in love with a manipulative narcissist.

I wish she would just shut up and go away.

Meghan, put on your tinfoil hat and try to remember Princess Diana.

Someone in the realm, not necessarily official, may get tired of your petulant histrionics.

The European definition of conservative is about maintaining of traditions, not about minimizing the government to control costs and minimize the influence of government over the citizenry.

Economically speaking, European liberals and conservatives speak the same language.

I said it was subtle.

She can’t call them racist. The Queen fears that she will be called racist because Meghan sends out her friends to call the Queen racist.

The friends have been hounding that poor Woe Is Me Meghan is being treated unfairly because the RF are racist.

Now think about her statement again

Now can you catch it?????
