In a surprising move, the royal website has taken the unprecedented step of eliminating individual pages dedicated to Prince Harry’s wife and their two children.
This action signals a significant rift between Harry and his UK family.
To provide some background, Harry and Meghan ceased their roles as senior working royals in early 2020, seeking privacy and financial independence, a decision that reverberated through the monarchy.
Upon relocating to California, the couple secured lucrative deals with streaming services, causing further upheaval within the royal institution.
During a revealing interview with Oprah Winfrey last year, shocking accusations were leveled against the royal family, including concerns about the potential darkness of Archie’s skin.
Meghan disclosed her lack of support from the palace and her struggles with mental health as a member of the royal family, exacerbating tensions between the couples and the rest of the royals.
Subsequently, amidst extensive media coverage on Kate Middleton’s well-being and whereabouts, the royal family discreetly distanced themselves from former working royals Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Previously, both Harry and Meghan had individual biographies on the royal website, royal.uk.
However, the site has now been updated to feature a joint biography for the couple, highlighting their wedding at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor on May 19, 2018, and the birth of their children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.
Notably, the individual biographies of Archie and Lilibet have been entirely removed without an official explanation from the palace.
While the Duke and Duchess are no longer working members of the royal family, the revised page emphasizes their continued status as cherished family members.
The rationale behind this modification remains undisclosed, although previous updates to the website have been acknowledged by the palace.
The royal website, comprising over 5,000 pages detailing the royal family’s activities and history, has been recently refreshed following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
In a poignant message, King Charles conveyed the importance of extending friendship and support to those in need during a challenging time.
Despite his absence at the Royal Monde service in Worcester Cathedral, Charles emphasized the significance of serving and caring for one another, drawing parallels to the actions of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet.
Reflecting on the diverse services available for the nation’s welfare, Charles underscored the value of individuals offering a helping hand, particularly in times of adversity.
As the royal family navigates through changes and challenges, the message of unity and compassion resonates strongly, echoing the sentiment of mutual care and support within the community.
