Duchess Meghan + Prince Harry
Palace is sending a clear signal with a public downgrade

They no longer have a foothold in the royal family. Prince Harry can shake off this illusion, at least for the time being. Not only that the peace talks with his father and brother that he longed for have apparently still not taken place. Now the palace is also sending a clear signal with a public demotion of the Sussexes on the royals’ official website.
It was a gradual process that now seems almost complete. After the death of Queen Elizabeth, †96, some changes urgently had to be made to the official website of the British royal family – after all, with the coronation of King Charles, 75, the cards were reshuffled within the hierarchy in the monarchy. The responsible social media team has now apparently made progress. But glaring errors can still be found. There is also an innovation that could particularly hurt Prince Harry, 39, in the heart.
Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry slide into the basement
The royal website now clearly shows the importance the monarch’s youngest son and his wife Duchess Meghan, 42, have within the Royal Family. The profiles of the two have slipped deep into the basement. Only the scandal-ridden Prince Andrew, 63, falls even further and brings up the rear.

But one thing was obviously overlooked in the demotion of the Sussexes: in the accompanying text Harry’s portrait is some incorrect information deposited. It is still firmly stated there that the Duke of Sussex and his wife still hold royal patronages and commute between their home in the USA and Great Britain. “As announced in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess have retired as senior members of the Royal Family. They balance their time between the United Kingdom and North America while continuing to fulfill their duty to the King, the Commonwealth and their patronages.”
Palace “out of date”?
In an embarrassing mistake, the two royals officially stepped down from all their duties as senior royals in February 2021 after a year-long “probationary period.” A lot of water has flowed down the Thames since then. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told the Express that the palace gave the impression of being “out of date.”
Maybe it would help those responsible to stick their noses in the current daily press every now and then. At least the British newspapers are well informed about the – slightly slow progress – events at the royal public appearance. Harry would certainly thank them in this case.
