The Duke and Duchess of Sussex must drop their 'Sussex Royal' label after deciding to step down as working royals.
Following lengthy and complex talks, the Queen and senior officials are believed to have agreed it is no longer tenable for the couple to keep the word 'royal' in their 'branding'.
Harry and Meghan have spent tens of thousands of pounds on a new Sussex Royal website to complement their hugely popular Instagram feed.
They have also sought to register Sussex Royal as a global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and teaching materials.
In addition, they have taken steps to set up a new charitable organisation: Sussex Royal, The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
It has now been made clear that they will need to 're-brand'.

Whoops. Not what Meghan was hoping for. Good for the Queen.
Can’t have it both ways.

This couple makes me puke.
I wonder what the “or else” is here. Would the Queen take them to court for a brand trademark violation?
The dear old Queen is smarter than both of these two dimwits put together....LOL....Whatcha gonna do now, Meeeghan?????
How about a merger with a tire company - Uniroyal.
The Uni is Meghan.
THere is a very interesting article up on Blind Gossip who clearly gets info fed to him
“They have definitively NOT accepted this change. They are furious beyond belief!!! This will cost them millions of dollars. They have sunk a lot of money into two-word branding, websites, trademarks, logos, etc. They are asking their attorneys if they have legal standing to fight.
Maybe. However, fighting the husband’s family on this could potentially make a bad situation even worse!
It is possible that if they even signal that they are going to fight for that one word, the family could withdraw permission for the second word as well.”
Could you or I trademark “Sussex Royal”?
Royale with Chez
If Harry had been a Beatle, Meghan would have broken up the group by ‘65.
There is another one from Ace that is pretty good. It’s about Meghan floating her buy out number.

The Queen really has tried to checkmat her. But never fear, Meghan will come up with something to try to counter
Someone did trademark it before them. Can’t remember the details. Might have been in cerain countries. He agreed to let them use it.
Too bad. So sad. NOT!!!!

How about Royal Sex ?
They should register SuckstobeRoyal
When the Queen dies, it’s gonna go Ghetto in the UK...
I would think so, right? At least outside of the UK. QE2 doesn’t own the freakin’ English language worldwide. Maybe she can deny them a trademark in the UK, but doubt if she’d be able to pull it off much anywhere else. Did she and her peeps have veto power over Crown Royal whiskey? The Kansas City Royals?
Of course, can use whatever tools of persuasion she has available (e.g., threatening to cut off their allowances) to try to convince them to drop the “Sussex Royal” idea.
