Megxit: The Queen had no jurisdiction over the word 'Royal'

It's not a dig at Meghan, it's a very funny clip about the differences between American English and British English

I found it funny, anyway.
All tickety boo

Yet another thread where posters miss the point entirely

I think that applies to the UK and all the Commonwealth countries.

I think the other issue is that under Canadian law, federal government permission has to be given if "Royal" is used corporately in either a name or if it suggests patronage.

I expect it would have been ok to use it in the USA.

At the risk of making Suzie lose the will to live, I also heard that Meghan took advice from political advisers, in particular Michelle and Barack Obama. Some of the difficulties are undoubtedly cultural.

Loved the clip

Cheer up suzie it will stop raining

Megan’s advisor was the advisor to Hilary Clinton

Ok Suzie

Not again please not again

I think they’re being advised by Americans, and that’s the problem. They should have stuck with Buckingham Palace advisors. The arrogance of Meghan astounds me, my opinion obviously.
I have watched the clip this morning, I didn’t watch it last night as I was in bed, and my husband was asleep next to me, he would have complained. I have got the ear things but I’d have had to get out of my warm bed to get them.

NotSpaghetti

I'm afraid I can't help but think of potatoes when I hear "Sussex Royal". It would be good to change it for that reason alone as far as I'm concerned!

I’m actually surprised they thought “Sussex Royal” was a good choice for their identity. Not only was it likely to upset the Royals in the UK, it also is not popular in the US to flaunt your hereditary title. So using that to fund their “charitable” jet set lifestyle was very questionable.

As a couple it seems they are becoming a disaster area, their aims are just not realistic. As others have said Meghan is just an “also ran” actress who married a prince but now she wants to change all that while still retaining the status.

I don’t see a happy ending

Loved the clip!

We can have Royal Doulton on our toilet bowl but Harry can’t use Royal in his company? Let’s hope the royals are all flushed away if they refuse to modernise.

“If she really said that then she has the most colossal cheek. What a nerve!”
If who said what ??

I don’t think Meghan will bring down the monarchy. I think she’s being disrespectful towards the monarchy and the Queen. I also think that it was obvious that she would not be able to trade on the royal connection, using the word ‘royal.’ She can use any other words to describe her website, but she can’t use royal. Apparently the monarch must give permission for anyone to use the word ‘royal’ in any commercial and or charitable venture or organisation. So we have Royal Mail and Royal Ballet and so on, permission given. Sussex Royal, permission denied.

Queen Elizabeth II is the male-line great-granddaughter of Edward VII, who inherited the crown from his mother, Queen Victoria. His father, Victoria's consort, was Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; hence Queen Elizabeth is a patrilineal descendant of Albert's family, the German princely House of Wettin.

The Queen's English?

Liked that!

The clip is funny.
