Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently rebranded their official website from sussex royal to sussex .com.
Now palace insiders are accusing the former royal couple of trying to cash out on the Monarchy...
From The Independent
The Duchess of Sussex has defended the rebranding of her and Prince Harry’s website as sussex.com after critics claimed the couple were cashing in on their royal links despite having quit as working royals.
The revamped site declares itself “The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex”, and it also links to their former sussexroyal.com website – even though they agreed to stop using the “Sussex Royal” title in 2020 when they stepped down.
When they quit as working members of the royal family, the couple were told to drop use of HRH, and their use of the title Sussex was debated at Buckingham Palace.
They changed their sussexroyal.com site to Archewell, and used it to showcase their commercial and charitable work.
Royal insiders have criticised the new website, saying it created a “blurred line between the past and the present” after the couple were told to drop their Sussex titles, MailOnline reported. Other critics have gone as far as to say that the website would have “infuriated the Queen”.
But now the duchess has praised the “attention to detail” and “creativity and care” of the designers of the rebranded site.
She said: “They’re not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They’re a very special company. Plus they’re Canadian, so I’m a fan.”
The “about” section of the website says the couple’s office is “shaping the future through business and philanthropy”.
Meanwhile, King Charles returned to Sandringham in Norfolk from London, where he spent just over 24 hours for his latest bout of cancer treatment following the announcement of his diagnosis last week.
