HARRY and Meghan have admitted defeat over plans to cash in on their royal brand.
The couple this week withdrew applications to trademark Sussex Royal.
They vowed to shelve plans to protect the brand in the UK and make a mint from their self-styled royal handle.
Documents filed with the Intellectual Property Office show the right to use Sussex Royal and Sussex Royal Foundation names for commercial and charitable activities have been removed.
But after the Queen ruled they could not use the royal trademark they withdrew the applications.
But a bid to use it on toiletries, sporting goods, toys, beer and jewellery in Europe is still active.
It is now under examination by the department.
This move comes despite the couple saying in Saturday’s statement that they did not intend to use the world ‘royal’ overseas.
The duke and his wife — living on Vancouver Island with baby Archie — step down as senior royals on March 31.
Last week they moaned that the Queen and Government don’t own the word “royal” overseas.
