Royal Family Quietly Deletes Groundbreaking Statement Prince Harry Made About His Concerns for Meghan Markle’s Safety from Its Website

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

It was a landmark statement at the time from Prince Harry, a groundbreaking one that confirmed his relationship with Meghan Markle back in 2016, a few months after they began dating that summer. And now, People reports, the royal family has quietly taken it down, with the outlet confirming it “is no longer available on the British royal family’s website,” adding “The statement remained on the royal family’s official website in the years since, but the link is no longer active.” Newsweek confirmed that the internet archive site Wayback Machine was able to access the link on December 3, 2023, but not a week later on December 10, indicating that the page was taken down during that time frame five months ago.

One year after the statement was released in November 2016, the couple announced their engagement in November 2017. They married the next May. (Image credit: Getty Images)
