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.

Where’s Henry VIII when you need him...?
Exactly.
The Queen gave the Sussex title...and the Queen can take it away.
Previous monarchy has a history of scandals and unusual behavior. Just look at the Henry and Edward lines.
These two are just unbelievable! Effing millennials
Royale would work
I associated Royalty with a type of public dignity. Meghan is hurting her brand.
Nicely done Harry. Idiot.
How about ‘Suss-EX-Royal’? Britons offer their own suggestions for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new brand after Queen forced them to drop royal
From the crib, kids should be taught to look for the Cs (conservative, cash, and Catholic), and that the required order of things is a prenup between engagement and marriage. I have a brother and a cousin who both suffered financial devastation at the hands of greedy ex-wives due to omitting that intermediate step.
Off with their (empty) heads!
Have never understood the Napolean hand in jacket thing he does.
“She is letting her inner Wallis Simpson out.”
Simpson had better manners.
“I find it hard to believe that Harry is this clueless.”
It’s not so much that he’s clueless, but that he’s the victim of classic domestic abuse. 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.
Maybe some day, Harry will appreciate B.B. King's "The Thrill is Gone."
“Prince CHarles friend who posts here says he is conservative except for the environment position.”
Isn’t he also extremely pro-Muslim? (Of course Muslims are conservative — in their own evil way.) It’s been said that he secretly converted, but that’s probably not true considering the relationship between the royals and the Church Of England.
Who the hell does she think she is ... the Queen of England? ...wait... she IS.
After having watched “The Crown” I have a new found loathing for the Royals. Except for Kate (she can do no wrong AFAIAC).
The “institution” of the Monarchy is an all consuming CULT for those caught up in its dominance.
Frankly, I’m glad to see Meghan Markle break the strangle hold the crown has over them. Although, she is giving deference to the Queen when she should just tell her covfefe.
UK passports are all issued in the name of the Queen. I wonder if she has thought it is time to cancel their passports to show them what real power is. /s

I think she does own that word. Harry was third in line when he was born. And now he has dropped down to 6th. As soon as he stopped doing royal duties. He moves out of the .0001% pedigree and became just a .001% pedigree. And now, of course, he is crying like the spoiled baby he is.
