After lengthy Buckingham Palace talks, the Queen and senior officials ruled Prince Harry and Meghan Markle cannot use the word 'Royal' in their new roles as they step back from royal duties to start a new life in Canada.

In an unprecedented move, the Queen brought in top lawyers to block it and to outline the case in UK law banning the use of the word 'Royal' for financial gain, The Mirror Reports.

In an extraordinary statement posted on their Sussex Royal website last night the couple accepted they would ditch the branding from the end of next month, but said neither the Queen nor the government owned the word "royal" across the world.

The statement reads: "While The Duke and Duchess are focused on plans to establish a new non-profit organisation, given the specific UK Government rules surrounding use of the word Royal, it has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organisation, when it is announced this Spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation.

"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 'SussexRoyal' in any territory post Spring 2020."

Piers Morgan took to Twitter to express his anger over the couple's statement.

He said: "The staggering disrespect these two keep showing to the Queen is outrageous.

"Who the hell do they think they are?"

It's not the first time Piers Morgan has spoken out against the Sussexes.

The media broadcaster has repeatedly criticised Meghan Markle, calling her a "ruthless social climber" and accusing the Duke of "playing the victim".

He accused Harry of "exploiting Diana's death to make millions from investments banks" and has criticised the couple's private plane habit.

It is a long-running commentary that has seen Morgan accused of bullying, sexism and racism while the Sussexes remain tight-lipped on the broadcaster's take-downs.
