The Duke and Duchess of Sussex said the pair no longer intended to use the name in any territory past Spring of 2020. This was confirmed via the couple’s spokeswoman. She added: “Therefore

the trademark applications that were filed as protective measures, acting on advice from and following the same model for The Royal Foundation, have been removed.” Rules surrounding the use

of the Royal name have been published on the royal family website. It reads: “Names of the Royal Family may not be registered in, or as, trade marks without the consent of The Queen or the

relevant Member of the Royal Family. “The names of Royal Residences may not be registered either.” It adds that “Trade Mark examiners will also consider whether the application has been made

in bad faith”. It comes as it was revealed on Friday Meghan, mother to nine-month-old Archie, told her friends there is nothing "legally stopping" her and Prince Harry from using

the Sussex Royal name despite the Queen banning it. Meghan is also thought to have told her inner circle that using the name “shouldn't even be an issue in the first place and it's

not like they want to be in the business of selling T-shirts and pencils”, an insider said. The friend told the Mail Online: "Meghan said she's done with the drama and has no room

in her life for naysayers, and the same goes for Harry". The Duchess of Sussex also said she and her husband, the Duke of Sussex, are working on "global projects" and the use

of the Sussex Royal name has nothing to do with profit. The friend continued: "Meghan said the global projects they are working on speak for themselves and they chose that name to

protect the royal name, not profit off of it. "Meghan said the name of their brand pales in comparison to the foundation they are building and the enormously positive impact it will

have on people and the environment." READ NOW: MEGHAN MARKLE ‘CONTINUOUSLY NAGGED’ EX-HUSBAND IN BID TO RAISE PROFILE [NEWS] A spokeswoman for Meghan and Harry has now confirmed the
