The other day I read that the Queen has said that Harry and Meghan cannot keep their SussexRoyal brand with that name.
They cannot use the word royal.
There are in fact laws in place over this, some go back over a hundred years I believe.

Today Meghan has told her friends that there is NO legal reason for her to not use it because they only want to do good....(yeah of course) and she will do as she pleases.
She also stated that Harry and Archie are royal and no-one can take that away from them.

So is this now Meghan v the Queen and British Law?

I hope she writes a tell all book and blows the whole firm wide open.

What's she done wrong? Upset the apple cart because she wore trousers when the Royal rules say she shouldn't have? Refused to be pushed around by the Palace flunkies? For heavens sake she's a modern woman and doesn't need to be tied to all the protocol if she doesn't want to be. It's time the Royal Family came into the 21st century. It's not as if she's been suspected of abusing underage girls and refused to cooperate with the FBI, is it?

It's nice to hear she's happy with Dodi, too.

Agreed Annie

What rubbish,

Watched a small bit of what was on the link posted above, someone really is extracting the urine!

aninimous I have personal experience that leads me to believe in the spirit world, but THAT is just a load of absolute testicles!

It'll all end in tears.

It’s seems they’ve already made the decision.

ananimous Fri 21-Feb-20 19:45:15

You clearly do not believe in the spirit world, then?

If the medium "reveals" something that we recognise, then we knew it already and the medium could have known it too. "Lady Di" was what the media called her, so anyone whose information came from some corner of the media has picked that up from there.

Jane10 Fri 21-Feb-20 19:26:51

Hmmm. Claptrap alert! ⚠ Diana never called herself 'Lady Di'!

ananimous Fri 21-Feb-20 18:05:24

This is medium Shirley G talking to the deceased Lady Di on Youtube...
Diana does not hold back either.
Now I'm not sure about mediums generally speaking, but, this one sends chills!

Much of what she says rings true.

Interesting legal stuff. The Royal is not usable in the UK -is this why they have relocated? www.rd.com/culture/royal-need-permission-uk/
And I didn't realise that the monarch can legally take responsibility for any children -another reason to go?

She's doing a book on life as a Royal.
If this is true, it will hardly be a blockbuster, she's only been married for 21 months and if this little Pipsqeak thinks that her book will cause problems for the Royal family, she's more deluded than I thought.

Smileless2012 Fri 21-Feb-20 17:45:59

Well if she does, it will show her critics that they were right along.

ananimous Fri 21-Feb-20 17:39:02

Maybe that's her leverage?
Whowitt knows what she may say.
I can't see it going down better than our "Queen of Hearts" tome.

pinkquartz Fri 21-Feb-20 17:34:30

Is she really writing a book on being a Royal?

Don't they have to sign forms not to do that kind of tell all?

Smileless2012 Fri 21-Feb-20 17:29:30

It would be a member of the royal family, the present monarch's GS, the future king's son and after him when William is king, the king's brother using the royal title for financial gain.

In this context it's not just using a word.

Buffybee Fri 21-Feb-20 17:24:01

If this is true, they're asking for trouble as the Queen could quite easily take away their HRH titles, which at the moment she hasn't.
Also, if this is true, they are both entitled, selfish brats, who need taking down a peg or two.
Also, if this is true, Megan is a disgrace to be so disrespectful to our Queen, hard-faced comes to mind.

phoenix Fri 21-Feb-20 17:23:28

Curlywhirly yes have seen the trailers, and looking forward to it!

Agree that the timing seems to be a bit spooky........

Curlywhirly Fri 21-Feb-20 17:20:53

Just to digress a little, has anyone seen the trailer for the TV series 'The Windsors'? It looks hilarious. It's a spoof on the Royal Family, and it's really tongue in cheek and quite irreverent about certain members. it's starts on Tue night at 10.00pm, I think it's channel 4 (not sure). Funny thing is, it was filmed in November, before H and M announced their departure, and it portrays them leaving and going to America - deja vu or what!!

trisher Fri 21-Feb-20 17:20:22

Can you stop somene using a word? Seems a bit unlikely to me. Would it extend to aomething like Royal Blue?

JenniferEccles Fri 21-Feb-20 17:14:40

Do this demanding selfish pair give any thought to what all this is doing to the Queen?

Smileless2012 Fri 21-Feb-20 17:01:22

It will result in legal problems if they break the law. It appears that Meghan's reach exceeds her grasp.

AGAA4 Fri 21-Feb-20 16:48:44

I think the issue of the SussexRoyal brand could result in legal problems for Harry and Meghan. If they carry on with it after being told they can't what will happen?
