Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Bios on the Official Royal Family Website Look Really Different Today

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gaze away from the camera while in Australia.

Take it for what you will, but here is the fact of the matter: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s separate bios on the royal family’s website have been combined into one, replaced by a significantly smaller joint profile. The new shared bio has been placed at the very bottom of the list of royal family members, directly after an image of Prince Andrew. “As announced in January 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped back as working members of The Royal Family,” a description leading to their page reads. “The couple married in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor on 19 May 2018 and have two children: Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”

As for the opinion side of the house, that’s up to each of us, but many are calling it a “demotion” for the Sussexes four years after they stepped back as working members of the royal family in January 2020 and just weeks after launching their own new website. It also comes just days after Meghan announced her next major professional venture, lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, last Thursday.
