Royal flush
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have registered the trademark ‘Sussex Royal’ as part of their plan to become financially independent. Some ideas from eBay for how they could make their brand pay:
| Photograph of Harry, Meghan and Archie (from the couple’s Christmas card) | £2 |
| China thimble from the Duke and Duchess’s South Africa tour | £3.95 |
| Royal wedding mug | £6.69 |
| Box of 40 English breakfast teabags with Duke and Duchess on front | £7.49 |
| ‘Funko’ figurines of the couple | £19.89 |
