The Queen of England reportedly ordered Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to stop using “royal” in their “Sussex Royal” label after stepping down as senior members of Britain’s Royal Family.
The couple recently moved to Canada where they launched new lives as celebrities to profit from their royal titles, but the Queen reportedly said not so fast.
According to London’s Daily Mail newspaper, Harry’s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and other senior Palace officials have made it clear to Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, that they can no longer use royal in their branding, since they’ve stepped back from their royal duties.
But, according to WENN.com, a photo service and media outlet based in England, the Palace appeared to backtrack on Wednesday.
“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. Discussions are still ongoing,” a royal source said.
“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 non profit organization. Details will be shared in due course.”
