The Harry and Meghan Foundation was to operate under the name “Sussex Royal,” and as such, the couple took certain steps to launch their business. In addition to filing a trademark application, Meghan and Harry purchased a domain name that matched the trademark and began working on preparing a website for the foundation.
Regardless of the couple’s business activities, the royal family decided to discuss the appropriateness and possibility of using the “Sussex Royal” designation, which was certainly related to the couple’s desire to withdraw from the duties and functions arising from their royal titles. As a result, after withdrawing from their duties as members of the royal family, it was decided that Harry and Meghan would not be able to use the full trademark. This primarily concerns the word “Royal.” As a result, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, among other things, were to stop using royal titles, which is equivalent to being unable to use the trademark.
This decision by the royal family will undoubtedly impact the future business ventures of the royal couple, as their direct connection to the royal family allowed for numerous and potentially lucrative deals with potential partners around the world. Harry and Meghan confirmed this decision, stating clearly that they will not be using the “Sussex Royal” name.
Therefore, we can certainly expect information about the new project of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the near future, especially since, as of the end of March 2020, under a mutual agreement, the couple ceased to officially fulfill their royal duties and can focus on their private lives.
