Meghan & Harry Are Now Banned From Using the Label ‘Sussex Royal’
Well, be careful what you ask for because you just might get it.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are officially moving forward in their new life without their trademarked brand “Sussex Royal.”
According to the Daily Mail, the Queen and other senior palace officials agreed that the couple will no longer be able to keep the word “royal” as a part of their brand.
While the two had hoped to leverage “Sussex Royal” into a new website and a “global trademark for a range of items and activities, including clothing, stationery, books and teaching materials,” reports the Mail, since their surprising “Megxit” from the palace, they will no longer be permitted to use it.
“As The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are stepping back as senior Members of the Royal Family and will work towards financial independence, use of the word ‘Royal,’ in this context, needed to be reviewed,” a royal source told Page Six. “Discussions are still ongoing.”
The source added: “As part of the process to transition The Duke and Duchess of Sussex into their new chapter, planning has been well underway around the launch of their new nonprofit organization.”
Regardless of what their new brand is, they’re still Meghan and Harry. They’ll be just fine!
