No.

[Ken4155]

Apparently so, to at least 1,705 people (as @ 8 a.m.). However, as there are over 600,000 Brighton residents, i guess the rest must be quite satisfied with the couple.

What nonsense. Counties, as far as I know, don't get a say in who gets appointed Duke & Dutchess with their county name. If sycophants want royalty, then they must put up with them. Now if it were a petition to remove royalty from the system because they are outmoded, that'd be a different matter.

[retrocop]

No.
Just a rebel rouser grabbing his minute of fame no doubt. I believe Brighton and Hove is the only Green Party seat.
Perhaps the petitioner thinks he can muddy the waters with regard to the controversy over private jets,carbon footprints and get the Green party on his side. :-(

I think they would be better of living in the USA or Africa

From the link:-
//The council cannot strip the couple of their titles, which are given by the Queen, but the petition calls on officials to stop calling them the Sussexes in official documents.//

More groan-worthy politically correct rubbish.

[douglas9401]

I doubt a petition to abolish the monarchy would be raised in an area so popular with queens, OG.

[ToraToraTora]

gawd, what is this vendetta against H and his Mrs? Wouldn't surprise me if they don't just go and live in the US.

[Ken4155]

There is no indication whatsoever that the council will implement the demands of the petition but, as it has reached the necessary target of signatures, they are honour-bound to discuss it. Probably spend about 5 mins doing so then move on to 'any other business'.

[dannyk13]

TTT, the petition is not about Harry & Meghan, it is about the title.
//The petition is trying to get the council to agree that all royal titles should not be used in its documents and proceedings//

[Bobbisox1]

Why can't we just leave these two alone, it's become 'fashionable ' to pillory them, especially her

[dannyk13]

Bobbi, see my post at 10.10.

[Bobbisox1]

Read and understood Danny

[ToraToraTora]

so this is a TROB council having a fit then? Gawd, good job, Cornwall et el are not on the same page!

[MWG14]

What utter rubbish. A great pity that they don't have something better to do with their time. And why do the press persist in calling her Meghan Markle? It isn't her name any longer.

[Baldric]

AOG, she is no longer Meghan Markle, please try and keep up.

[Butterbun]

Here we go again !

/// AOG, she is no longer Meghan Markle, please try and keep up. ///

I think that it is you and not I who should 'keep up.'

Most of the nation's press refer to her as Meghan Markle, so why should I be any different?

[naomi24]

Given their recent history, it’s unreasonable to expect no criticism of the couple at all – but that said, criticism where it’s due – not where it isn’t.
