Last night, the couple introduced their new website, Sussex.com, which serves as a comprehensive platform for all their endeavors. The site provides links to their Archewell Foundation, Archewell Productions, and their previous website, established by Meghan and Harry when they departed from the Royal Family in 2020.
Angela Levin, a royal commentator and biographer, expressed her dismay at the timing of the launch, stating, "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 the hospital."
The website itself offers insights into the charity work undertaken by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as well as their media productions. Levin further commented to The Sun, "Of course, this is going to trigger more stress for Charles and William. Harry knows very well that his late grandmother, the Queen, had firmly requested that Harry refrain from using his titles and the royal crest for commercial purposes."
The couple's decision to incorporate their royal titles on their new website has sparked controversy. GB News Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker suggested that this could be an attempt by the Sussexes to solidify their presence in the A-list circuit. Levin continued by stating, "This whole thing is for commercial gain. He's kicking them while they're down."
However, a source close to the couple defended their use of titles, stating, "Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That is a fact. It is their surname and family name." Despite no longer being working members of the British Royal Family, Harry and Meghan have retained their titles, and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, inherited royal titles when Charles ascended to the throne.
