The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relaunched their website yesterday in a major rebrand

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been accused of “triggering more stress for the King” after “kicking royals while they are down.”

According to a royal commentator, the rebrand made by the duke and duchess was “spiteful” and is likely to make the King’s recovery more stressful.


Last night the couple launched their new website Sussex.com as a “one-stop shop” for all of their activities.

The site links to their Archewell Foundation and Archewell productions as well as their old website that Meghan and Harry launched when they left the Royal Family in 2020.

Angela Levin, a royal commentator and biographer, said: “It’s the most appalling timing. This is not the first time they’ve done this.

“They did this sort of thing before when they went ahead with their Oprah interview while Prince Philip was dying in hospital.”

On their website, you can learn about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s charity work including their media productions and charity work.

Levin told The Sun: “Of course this is going to trigger more stress for Charles and William.

“Harry knows very much that his grandmother, the late Queen, actually got Harry to say very firmly that he would not use his titles and the crest commercial again.”

There has been controversy over the couple’s decision to use their royal titles on their new website.

GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker said that this could be an attempt by the Sussexes to “make it” on the A-list circuit.

Levin continued: “This whole thing is for commercial gain. He’s kicking them while they're down.”

However, a source close to the couple has defended the couple’s decision to use their titles.

The source said: “Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“That is a fact. It is their surname and family name.”

Harry and Meghan have kept their Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles despite not being working members of the British Royal Family.

The couple’s children have also inherited royal titles and became Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex when Charles became King.
