Meghan Markle’s best pal Jessica Mulroney ‘to launch charities in her and Harry’s name’ after Sussex Royal brand ban – The Sun

MEGHAN Markle's best friend Jessica Mulroney has started making plans for a series of international charities in the couple's name, it is reported.

The fashion stylist, who often babysits Archie, registered the website sussexglobalcharities.com through her own charity.


Jessica's charity the 'Shoebox Project Foundation', which supports vulnerable women, registered the website last Wednesday, the Mail on Sunday reported.

It comes as the royal couple were blasted for their "completely unnecessary" statement after agreeing to ditch their Sussex Royal brand.

The Duke and Duchess last night released a 1,114 word essay outlining what their new life would look like after quitting the Royal Family and to become "financially independent".

But the couple moaned in the statement that neither the Queen nor the government owned the word "royal" across the world after agreeing to alter their trademark.

And royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams today told The Sun Online the online declaration showed just how unhappy the couple were with the Megxit arrangements.

He said: "The statement's underlying message is they are very, very unhappy with this arrangement.
"It was completely unnecessary."

BRAND BAN

But the couple moaned in the statement that neither the Queen nor the government owned the word "royal" across the world after agreeing to alter their trademark.

Mr Fitzwilliams added: "If they are unhappy with this arrangement, one would hope it lasts the year until the review and hope that both sides are able to continue to co-exist in a reasonable and peaceful way.

"My hope is the bitterness they seem to feel with the current arrangement will become more positive as months progress."

The couple are now expected to return to the UK to complete their last royal engagements before their March 31 deadline.

The first return to royal duties for Meghan will be on March 5, with the couple heading to the Endeavour Fund awards in London.

As part of the busy six engagements in 11 days, Harry, 35, is expected to attend the opening of the Silverstone Experience – a Brit motor racing museum – with F1 legend Lewis Hamilton on March 6.

And the next day, he will be joined by wife Meghan, 38, for the Mountbatten Festival of Music at Royal Albert Hall.

Meghan is then set to enjoy a solo outing on March 8 when the former actress will mark International Women's Day, however details of the event are yet to be announced.

And the couple's final engagement on March 9 will see them join the Royal Family, including the Queen, for the Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey.

Buckingham Palace officials had said use of the word “royal” would have to be evaluated during Megxit talks following Harry and Meghan's bombshell announcement that they would be quitting frontline royal duties last month.

The Queen had made clear she does not accept working royals profiting from their position.
