A spokesman for the Duke and Duchess said the decision was based on British government rules around the use of the word ‘Royal’

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Prince Harry and Meghan have dropped the Sussex Royal brand name after opposition from the Queen, who objected to the couple using the word “royal” in their private venture.

“It has been therefore agreed that their non-profit organisation, when it is announced this Spring, will not be named Sussex Royal Foundation,” the spokesman added. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘SussexRoyal’ in any territory."The decision comes as the Duke and Duchess begin to pull away from Royal duties in a bid for greater independence and financial freedom. They will end their official roles on March 31 and vacate their office at Buckingham Palace.

However, the Queen and other members of the Royal family are believed to have objected to the couple using “Royal” in the brand, fearing it could be seen as cashing in on their titles. The spokesman said Friday that the trademark applications have now been withdrawn. Harry will remain involved with the Invictus Games, which benefits wounded soldiers. He will also retain the ranks he earned while serving in the British army, but he will drop his honourary titles including serving as head of the Royal marines. However, in a sign that the Queen has kept the door open for Harry to return to the royal fold, the honourary positions will not be filled for at least a year.
