Prince Harry and Meghan Markle bought their new website Sussex.com off a Brit who “didn’t know who was buying it.”
The duke and duchess purchased the domain off a British businessman who used to own it and was “very happy” with the price he got.
The couple launched their website as a “one-stop shop” for all their activities and personal biographies.
They changed their website from Archewell.com to Sussex.com for an unknown amount of money and without disclosing their identity.

The couple bought the website from the US based businessman Neil Agate who made the name in 1995 and kept it.
Agate said: “I got inquiries over the years. You wouldn’t believe how many Sussex insurance companies there are. Most weren’t worth the effort.”
The domain was registered on February 4, only nine days before the new website went live.
Agate told The Sun on Sunday: “I got an email from a broker in December and replied with my asking price. They accepted it. I think the price was fair.
