Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are rethinking branding for their family entity after a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said last week they agreed not to call it the Sussex Royal Foundation after their royal exit.

The couples Instagram and website, which they launched in early January after declaring they would step back from royal duties, currently goes by the name Sussex Royal. But once they officially quit the monarchy next month, the couple said theyll drop all mention of royal.

Multiple outlets reported over the weekend that Meghans good friend Jessica Mulroney helped the couple register a new website, called sussexglobalcharities.com, on Feb. 19. The registration reportedly was through Mulroneys own charity, The Shoebox Project. Mulroney, however, denied all the reports Sunday on Twitter.

If certain investigative journalists were to do their jobs, perhaps they would see that Shoebox Project Foundation is owned by a Mr Roy in North Carolina and has no affiliations or ties to our charity The Shoebox Project, Mulroney tweeted. Happy Sunday.

Harry and Meghan filed for a trademark for their family entity with the U.K.s Intellectual Property Office back in June , though it was not published until Dec. 19. They obtained a trademark for Sussex Royal the Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

In an update to their Sussex Royal website published Friday, the Sussexes stated it was never their intention to create a foundation.
