Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have launched a new website, which recognizes their time and work before they step back from the royal family. The website features Meghan’s coat of arms, which incorporates elements of Harry’s crest.
Their Sussex website also has elements of their royal life, such as their interlocking initials. The couple’s recent decision to use royal titles and coats of arms on their website has drawn criticism, with many claiming it could be covered up by the royal family.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Launch Their New Website

On Monday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quietly launched their new website, Sussex.com. The website serves as a hub for information about their charity work as a couple, which they carry out through their Archewell Foundation.
A visit to the home page shows that it is filled with recognition of their time and work while they were senior members of the royal family before they stepped down in 2020.
The website also includes a photo of Harry and Meghan at the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games under Meghan’s official coat of arms.
On their old website, SussexRoyal.com, there is now a redirect to the new Sussex.com address. A message on the site reads, “This site was established in 2020 and sets out the workflow of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex before they moved to the United States.”
Why Meghan Markle’s Top Is Used Instead of Prince Harry’s Top

It’s an odd choice that the couple chose to use Meghan’s coat of arms instead of Harry’s or the couple’s combined version. According to reports, this is likely because they never received a “married coat of arms” from the palace before their 2020 exit.
Per People magazinetheir lack of a “marital coat of arms” has been attributed to the slow process of getting a coat of arms, with Prince William and Kate Middleton not even getting their combined coat of arms until about two years after their wedding.
Another reason is that Meghan’s coat of arms combines elements of Harry’s on the left and hers on the right, so it represents both.
Fans of the couple and the royal family have pointed out on social media that even Harry’s top needs an update after King Charles ascends the throne. Now, the Duke is the son of the reigning king, not the son of the heir, so the crest should have a different crown and three points on the lapel.

Harry and Meghan’s new website also includes more details and elements from their time as royals.
In addition to the Duchess’ coat of arms and official royal titles, they also put their joint cypher on the bottom right of the website’s homepage.
The joint cypher design features interlocking initials. These are “H” and “M” written in the same cursive style used for both Harry and Meghan’s individual ciphers.
Above the stylized initials is a coronet, featuring a type of Christian cross called a cross pattée, four fleurs-de-lys and two strawberry leaves.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Criticized for Using Royal Titles

Following the launch of their new website, Harry and Meghan were criticized for using their royal titles and coats of arms on the website.
Critics of the couple argue that they no longer have the right to use their royal titles since they stepped back from their roles as royals.
Some critics were particularly upset by the fact that Harry and Meghan used their titles on the new website without including the phrase “serving the monarchy,” which featured heavily on their previous royal website.
“It is a royal title, and if there is any sign of commercialism about this, it will be shut down. It’s just shocking they can’t see how difficult it is,” an insider said of the situation.
Amid the backlash, a source close to Harry and Meghan hit back at critics, defending the Sussexes’ use of the title in a statement to Daily Mail.
The source told the news outlet, “Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That’s a fact. It’s their surname and their family name.”
