Harry and Meghan show anger at palace over loss of royal branding

Sussexes say monarchy has no jurisdiction over use of word 'royal' overseas

The freeze in relations between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and Buckingham Palace has become apparent after the couple were forced to drop plans to use the brand "SussexRoyal".

Posts on the couple's official website suggest they are angry at the way the decision was reached and how they have been treated compared with other royals. A statement on Friday night suggested that a blanket ban on the use of the word "royal" was unenforceable abroad. "There is not," it noted, "any jurisdiction by the monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word 'royal' overseas."
