The Good Morning Britain TV presenter was responding to an update Harry and Meghan posted on their website explaining how they will transition out of frontline royal life. In the statement the Duke and Duchess confirmed they will no longer use their ‘SussexRoyal’ brand once they step back from royal engagements.
However their comment noted that, whilst they will drop the brand, the Queen doesn’t have the power to force them to do so outside the UK.
They said: “While there is not any jurisdiction by The Monarchy or Cabinet Office over the use of the word ‘Royal’ overseas, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ or any iteration of the word ‘Royal’ in any territory (either within the UK or otherwise) when the transition occurs Spring 2020.”
A royal expert claimed the statement indicated Meghan and Harry are unhappy about the conditions imposed by the rest of the royal family.
In addition to having to drop their ‘SussexRoyal’ brand the couple will be restricted in how they can use their HRH titles.
Speaking to The Sun Online royal author Richard Fitzwilliams said: “It was completely unnecessary.
“The statement’s underlying message is that they are very, very unhappy with this arrangement.
“It may lead to future trouble, they don’t lie the arrangement that is forcing them to step down as working royals and not use their titles, even though they will have them.
“They want to use Sussex Royal but by saying the monarchy doesn’t have the power to prevent them from using it - why say that? There’s no point.”
