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.

Seems like every week we are filling in the blank.
Markle wants to keep the title but perform none of the duties nor accept the responsibilities. I wish she would just shut up and go away.
“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. “
They are soooooooooooooooooooooo lucky this isnt the 1600s, or else that would go over even worse with the queen.
It appears the Queen is not partial to grifters.
I’m sick of seeing pictures of “royalty” on the covers on magazines in the USA, and seeing “the royal couple” followed around by photographers on TV. The USA does not have royalty. The revolution got rid of the monarchy’s influence in the USA - or did it? Millions of Americans are fascinated by Britain’s “royalty.”
Haven't they lost these titles already?
If only Epstein hadn't been killed ...
She is letting her inner Wallis Simpson out.
Maybe not royal but SUSSEX royal...
Her Markleness, the Marquess of Her Markle, is cruisin’ for a bruisin’.
I give this marriage another 18-months before Harry realizes he marriage a harridan.
“Harcore Fenton Mudd.....”
Need to just shorten it by removal of a few letters.
SUX Royal.
No, they still have their Dukedom and their HRH. They arent using the HRH in public.
If you didn’t notice, Meghan threw out the race card in that statement She just didn’t call it that.
I suspect Queen E. is gauging public opinion on the matter.
They know after her death there will be more calls to end the monarchy.
Ha!!! He’s a scary cat and. Wouldn’t dare cross the witch wife...
She’s the typical liberal, thinks she’s elitist and everyone must follow her commands. I think that’s the real reason they split, I heard one episode she was screaming at the staff because someone dared put in egg in the food when Meghan is a vegan and the Queen admonished her saying “That is not how we talk to the staff”. WELL, that’s certainly how a liberal talks to the peons and WHO is this lady to tell Meghan how to talk? The Queen also was against Meghan raising her baby gender neutral and a vegan. Seems the Queen has too much common sense so being the typical liberal, the Queen must be punished. Then this crap where Meghan said she wasn’t moving to the USA until Trump was out of office, that they will stay in Canada...Well what happened to that? Now she is demanded she be called Royal.
I think the “royal family” lost a lot of its shine with the whole Charles/Diana thing; I don’t know anyone under 80 who cares about them at all.
Or, Royal Sexsux!
Prince CHarles biographer thinks it is going to get worse...lol Captain Obvious
