The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced last month that they shall “transition into a new working model,” one that apparently includes driving their own cars and purchasing their own sandwiches.
Denying that they wanted to start some sort of Sussex Royal foundation, as rumored, Harry and Meghan clarified that they will “develop a new way to effect change and complement the efforts made by so many excellent foundations globally” through the creation of a “non-profit entity.
On Wednesday, CNN reported that the queen had warned the duke and duchess against using this word in their forthcoming branding schemes. The couple reportedly submitted an application to trademark the term “Sussex Royal” last month as part of their bid to become “financially independent.” The Daily Mail reports that the trademark was meant to cover a multitude of products including clothing , books, stationery, and teaching materials.
According to the Daily Mail, the royal branding “placed the queen in an invidious position given her long-held conviction of refusing to allow working members of the family to profit from their positions.” One of her aides told the Times of London newspaper earlier this month that the queen did not find Meghan and Harry’s trademark bid “satisfactory,” because “one cannot be two things at once. You either are [royal] or you’re not.
According to the transition plan, “There is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas.” Which would seem to mean that Harry and Meghan could technically continue on as the Sussex Royals of Canada if they wanted to achieve stunning new levels of regal pettiness, but per their statement, they don’t. Perhaps they can rebrand as “Sussex Normies Inc.
