THE use of Queen Elizabeth’s name will be closely protected to preserve the rarity of her title, says new guidance.
Pubs, parks, buildings and businesses cannot be named after her without permission.
Applications to use the Queen Elizabeth name will be granted “sparingly” and must only be used in dignified and appropriate ways, says the Cabinet Office guidance.
Memorials and community centres are more likely to be approved – but must have strong royal connections.
The guidance adds: “Permission to use the title ‘royal’, or the names and titles of members of the Royal Family, including the name of the late queen, and other protected royal titles is a mark of favour granted by the sovereign, acting on the advice of his ministers.
