- Harry and Meghan posted on their website they would stop using the word royal
- Twitter has called for the couple to re brand their name to ‘Suss-Ex Royal’ instead
- Duke and Duchess said Queen herself have ‘jurisdiction’ over the word ‘royal’
Britons have suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex trademark ‘SussExRoyal’ after claiming that the Queen does not own the word royal across the world.
Harry and Meghan posted on their website that they would stop using the word royal in their branding after Spring.
In the statement – a shorter version first issued yesterday evening – said that while neither the government nor the Queen herself own the word ‘royal’ internationally, they would stop using the title.

But people came up with their own suggestions for the couple by capitalising the E in Sussex or adding a hyphen to create ‘Suss-ExRoyal’.
Jon Grove tweeted: ‘Surely Harry and Meghan can keep using their domain name if they just capitalise it differently? #SussExRoyal’
Another commented on their latest Instagram post with another variation: ‘Suss-Exroyal?’

Sandra Irwin posted: ‘Someone should trademark Suss-Ex Royal’ alongside laughing faces.
The statement posted on their website said: ‘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 have decided to use their own names, with Harry reverting to his mother’s maiden name for their business. It will now be known as Markle and Spencer’s,’ Randall Flagg posted on Twitter.
