IMHO that means that they should not use 'royal' nor should the use 'Sussex' which was gifted to them by HM.<br /><br />They want to be Harry and Meghan. No different - I'm US - than Kim and Kanye, Cindy and Randy, Beyonce and Jay Z, J Lo and Alex, or George and Amal. I'm not following any of those couples. I'm a US royalist - following the royal family. Meghan and Harry have removed themselves by choice (breaks my heart), they are moving towards being celebrities like these other couples. FYI, I don't follow any of them.<br /><br />Just giving my impression. Meghan could be very comfortable here - hopefully Harry will be (I only wish him a less stressful life) as well but I'm less interested in his Invictus involvement given he's not representing HM.<br /><br />I'm simply being honest and sharing my opinion. Maybe nobody shares my view point.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-61189592300089732582020-02-22T08:10:41.268+00:002020-02-22T08:10:41.268+00:00Anonymous, I would not wish to support the tabloid...Anonymous, I would not wish to support the tabloids, but the Fail is unlikely to provide seasoned legal advice. As pointed out in a later comment, there is a short overview from the UK legal perspective – not exactly the most relevant one as regards reach and chances of success – on the worldtrademarkreview website. This is most likely not a legal question but a practical one of whether the Sussexes want to stay on the right side of the Queen and the Queen wants to stay on the right side of the government. It is not as if it matters that much.<br /><br />Maggie – short for magpie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-47515846384845688652020-02-21T00:39:06.315+00:002020-02-21T00:39:06.315+00:00Allison, it was suggested in another comment, but ...Allison, it was suggested in another comment, but there is a very good article on DM regarding the legalities of using the words, 'royal', 'queen', 'king', etc. H&M can use their HRH title sas they are royals, but they cannot profit from it and apparently there is a law on the books regading this. This statement from the article gives a distinction on why it is an issue: "This issue, however, is just business. Clamping down on 'Sussex Royal' comes under the heading of 'duty' not 'family'."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-26922824040368635862020-02-19T16:42:56.419+00:002020-02-19T16:42:56.419+00:00As regards Sussex Royal trademark, it surely makes...As regards Sussex Royal trademark, it surely makes no difference to those that like them if they use “Sussex Foundation” or “Sussex Royal”. They would be fine going out as Harry and Meghan, really, the Duchess is still mostly known as Meghan Markle in the US anyway. Depending on how many domains they have reserved, it might be a problem to work under a new name, though. I should be surprised if the Queen could forbid the use of the word royal – it is being used all the time by non-royals – but she can of course tie the HRH title or their allowance to the fulfillment of her wishes.<br /><br />Personally, I think the Sussexes would be well advised to get as far away from the Palace as possible in name and marketing. The Royal Family seems unhelpful, it is really difficult how it could be anything else. They need to protect their own brand, they cannot be expected to assist the Sussexes in building a kind of second royal family in North America, only younger, more charming and better looking. That seems to be too much to ask for, and it is not as if the Sussexes really needed it. <br /><br />Maggie - short for magpie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-6496428877067287862020-02-19T15:26:15.975+00:002020-02-19T15:26:15.975+00:00I find the whole thing trying.

Having seen well-known people at airports or hotels from time to time, my impression is that the more famous they are the more relieved they will be if you pretend not to recognise them. It must be very tiring to always to be “on”, never look exhausted or unhappy so photographs cannot be spread with the wrong caption. With the Sussexes, it is not at all impossible that they do not mind showing the world that they are fine right now in unofficial photographs, but we cannot know. Hopefully this will soon be a moot point, there should be official pictures again once they have sorted out their new lives. There will be new photos when they return to England but it is a little worrying nonetheles, I hope they will have good security in this aggressive atmosphere.<br /><br />Maggie - short for magpie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-27783389879459637202020-02-16T19:03:21.112+00:002020-02-16T19:03:21.112+00:00The good part is that the man posting it waited un...The good part is that the man posting it waited until another day so they were safely home before he posted it.BeanieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284398170424008200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-19395290593096911322020-02-16T18:54:02.528+00:002020-02-16T18:54:02.528+00:00Maggy Magpie (I love that !)
