It is often done purely to block other people from gaining commercially. Kate & William did the same thing shortly after their marriage and there was also a lot of speculation about how they are going to use it for commercial enterprises and to control their “brand”. But in the 8 years since nothing came of it. <br />So while I have no idea if the Sussexes plan to sell Sussexroyal products etc but I think we should give them the benefit of the doubt until they do. <br />RachelZAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-523822918879524553.post-58628285775694489442020-01-12T12:29:58.548+00:002020-01-12T12:29:58.548+00:00USA Granny, I did read through their whole website...USA Granny, I did read through their whole website. Actually more than once. And while I believe it is a reflection of the truth as they see and experience it, a critical read reveals a number of omissions and even some inaccuracies. <br /><br />Their page on funding shows little to no explanation and understanding of the intricacies of the income derived from the Sovereign Grant, the Duchy of Lancaster and the Duchy of Cornwall. <br /><br />And while I agree with them that the Royal Rota system is antiquated and must adapt to the realities of digital media, their proposed new system raise a number of freedom of the press issues that they did not address either.

It’s such a shame pit two great women against each other. It’s obvious some posters were never Meghan fans in the first place and have to pretend.by concern trolling instead. The tabloid press must love the power they have to sway public opinion so quickly and viciously.

She has legal custody over Archie, and can control where he goes, etc. I have a suspicion that is one of the factors as to why Archie was left in Vancouver this past week while H & M traveled to the UK and then dropped their bombshell. I doubt that Harry would ever let it happen, or that Charles would want to, but legally among the complications are that Elizabeth can - in theory - grant H & M the exit, but keep Archie close. Or she can dictate where Archie lives and goes to school.
