Harry and Meghan will keep their HRH styles but will not actively use them. As of March 21, Meghan is no longer listed as "Her Royal Highness" on several websites and social media accounts for charities she works with. But she and Harry will continue to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton, and the Baron and Baroness Kilkeel. Harry will also retain the ranks of major, lieutenant commander, and squadron leader, though his honorary military positions will not be used during the 12-month period. He will remain sixth in line for the British throne, and Harry and Meghan's status in the order of precedence will remain the same.
However, they will not use the word "royal" moving forward. "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," a spokesperson said in a statement, according to People.
A day before they officially stepped down as royals, Harry and Meghan announced the end of their @sussexroyal Instagram account, as well as their official website. "As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute," their joint statement read. "While you may not see us here, the work continues. Thank you to this community - for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You've been great!"
In addition, the trademark applications that were filed for "Sussex Royal" have been removed.
