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.

Jessica Mulroney registered sussexglobalcharities on Wed. Still giving the finger to the Queen.
I disagree. From what I have seen I think that both Prince William and Kate will save the monarchy despite Charles being a total moron.
only if Charles foregoes becoming King.
I’m sure that the Kansas City Royals would be more than willing to add Harry and Meghan to their team mascots. There is a lot of work to be done and Slugger needs some help during the season.
Yes, I agree Charles is going to be under a lot of pressure to pass it up. Unfortunately, Charles does not come across as a very bright individual, just a very selfish one. The powers that be will probably make him an offer he can’t refuse.
Unless he dies, Charles WILL BE King. It is the way of the succession. No one will change it.
Is anyone else watching the CNN production ‘The Windsors’? They seem pretty sympathetic to Edward the VIII. I’m wondering if they are setting up the premise that David Windsor tried to bring the monarchy into the 20th Century and Harry and Me-again Markle are trying to bring the monarchy into the 21st Century. Still, I’m enjoying the Newsreel footage from long ago. I had no idea that George V was first cousin to Kaiser Wilhelm AND the Russian Romanov Tsar, Nicholas.
The Kaiser was Queen Victoria’s favorite grandchild!
