The Queen Is “So Disappointed” In Harry’s Response To The ‘Royal’ Trademark Block

The tension between the Queen, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle is still there.

A source recently revealed to Us Weekly that the Queen is still disappointed in Harry’s response to the trademark block: “She’s so disappointed that her own grandchild would heap so much embarrassment on the monarchy and bring all this unwanted attention on his family at the worst possible time.”

Prince Harry (35), and Meghan Markle (38), filed paperwork to trademark their personal foundation, “Sussex Royal, The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex”, in December. Only one month later the couple announced they’re stepping back as senior royals. Buckingham Palace confirmed in February that they would be prohibited from using the “Sussex Royal” name.

Later, a statement said: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex do not intend to use ‘Sussex Royal’ in any territory post-spring 2020. 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.”

Another statement, released later, 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.”

Queen Elizabeth (93) is still hoping that after all this she will still be able to repair her relationship with grandchild Harry: “She’s praying that, over time, Harry will start to see things more clearly,” source revealed to Us Weekly “Whether that will actually happen remains to be seen.”
