Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stirred up a storm with the launch of their latest venture, Sussex.com.
Critics, particularly in the British tabloids, are scrutinizing every detail of the website, raising concerns about the couple’s use of their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles.
Many argue that this move goes against the terms of their agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II when they stepped back from their royal duties.
Described as “provocative” by The Daily Mail, the decision made by Prince Harry and Meghan has ignited a firestorm of debate.
Sources suggest that Buckingham Palace may soon be drawn into the fray as the Sussexes pose what is perceived as a significant challenge to the institution.
The issue at hand seems to revolve around whether the royal family views the couple’s actions as an attempt to capitalize commercially on their titles.
However, any potential repercussions for Harry and Meghan could set a precedent that might implicate other members of the royal family, such as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.
While some sources assert that the couple has not directly violated the terms of their agreement with the Queen, there is a belief that they have strayed from the intended “spirit” of the arrangement.
On the other hand, supporters of Prince Harry and Meghan argue that as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it is their rightful prerogative to use their titles in their endeavors.
The debate over the significance of a mere website name appears trivial amidst concerns about King Charles III and Kate Middleton‘s health issues, diverting attention from potential actions that Buckingham Palace might take.
Following the “Sandringham Summit” in 2020, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle hashed out the conditions for their exit from senior royal roles, certain restrictions were imposed.
These included relinquishing the use of the HRH titles and shelving their previous Sussexroyal.com website in favor of the Archewell platform.
The recent transition to Sussex.com signifies a new chapter for the couple, symbolized by the incorporation of Meghan’s coat of arms as their logo, a strategic choice considering the potential backlash that using Harry’s royal coat of arms could trigger.
Amidst Meghan’s rebranding efforts, which include a podcast partnership with Lemonada, the timing of the website relaunch aligns with the couple’s evolving career trajectory.
While the British media meticulously scrutinizes every aspect of Sussex.com for any hint of impropriety towards Queen Elizabeth, American fans view this development as a step towards the couple’s anticipated resurgence by 2024.
