The Sussex brand is taking a bashing with Harry and Meghan souvenirs dumped in bargain bins since the couple announced they’d be stepping away from many royal duties

Tea towels are 70 per cent off on the John Lewis website and postcards of Harry and William smiling at a wedding were pulled from a Sandringham visitor centre caf on Monday the day royals met there for a summit on Harry and Meghans future.

The couple want to step back from frontline duties and live off the Sussex Royal brand.

They plan to trademark it for goods and activities such as running emotional support groups.

But an insider said: If these price cuts are anything to go by then perhaps the Sussexes have misjudged how popular items with their names on will be.

On the John Lewis website 10 tea towels and mugs marking son Archies birth last May are down to 3. A 10.99 notebook commemorating the couples May 2018 wedding is now 3.30.

At the Sandringham caf there are empty slots where two stacks of the William and Harry card had been on offer.

Other beaming royals feature in postcards from the collection which was printed before Harry and Meghan met.
