The Queen puts on a vibrant display in a matching hat and coat at Royal National ENT Dental hospital

The Queen looked in an upbeat mood as she arrived to open the new premises of the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospital today.

The monarch, 93, cut a vibrant figure in a purple hat embellished with two bobbles, and a matching wool coat. 

Making a perfectly polished appearance, the royal wore her beloved pearl earrings, a touch of red lipstick, and matched her black Launer bag with a pair of low heeled court shoes. 

The Queen’s appearance came after an insider claimed the Queen and senior officials have ‘agreed’ it is no longer tenable for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to keep the word ‘royal’ in their ‘branding’.

But the royal appeared in high spirits as she arrived in London to open the new dental hospital. 

Disembarking from her chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce, the royal greeted onlookers before being accompanied into the building. 

The major new medical facility will house two specialist hospitals under one roof, which will treat conditions relating to the head and neck.

Part of the UCLH (University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), the units will treat complex conditions relating to the ears, nose, throat and dental conditions. 

During her visit the Queen will meet staff and patients at the hospital, and visit children taking part in creative play sessions on the paediatric floor.

It is now reported that the couple have accepted that, as part of their new working arrangements, they will not be able to use the Sussex Royal name as they had hoped. 

The Mail understands that, amid what has been described as a ‘complex’ situation, the ‘fine detail’ is still being thrashed out.

The development is thought to represent a major blow to the Sussexes, who now face starting again and re-registering everything from their website to their charity under a new label.

A source told the Mail: ‘In many ways this is inevitable given their decision to step down, but it must surely come as a blow to the couple as they have invested everything into the Sussex Royal brand The Queen would have had little choice, however.

‘The Sussexes’ original plan – of being half-in, half-out working royals – was never going to work. Obviously, as the Queen has made clear, they are still much-loved members of her family.

But if they aren’t carrying out official duties and are now seeking other commercial opportunities, they simply cannot be allowed to market themselves as royals.’
