Meghan Markle has defended her and Prince Harry’s recent Sussex.com website after being hit with major backlash for using their royal titles on the positioning.
On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex awoke to a shiny recent online domain that features each of their bios in addition to links to their Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions organizations.
But their recent rebrand seemingly struck a nerve amongst the general public, who noticed that they used their royal titles — despite quitting the Firm in 2020.
The “Suits” alum has now responded to the backlash after users slammed the runaway royals for flattering themselves on the website.
“There may be a reason I even have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design in addition to to the user experience,” Markle said in an endorsement on Article’s website.
“They’re not only designers; they’re collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They’re a very special company. Plus they’re Canadian, so I’m a fan.”
The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment.
Harry and Markle were labeled “ridiculous” for using the royal coat of arms at the highest of the homepage with text underneath that reads, “The office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.” Nevertheless, others applauded them for making a “fresh” change to their online domain.
The muse’s website has also gotten a face-lift, to coordinate with the brand new hub’s dark navy and beige theme.
Moreover, the Sussex.com site offers a news tab that summarizes the pair’s achievements.
The most recent entry is a write-up of Harry presenting the Walter Payton NFL Man of the 12 months award to Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward ultimately week’s NFL Honors.
A photograph of the couple smiling and cheering on the 2023 Invictus Games acts as a backdrop for the homepage. It’s the identical image they used for their holiday card last 12 months.
Harry’s online bio calls him a “humanitarian, military veteran, mental health advocate, and environmental campaigner.” It also boasts about his 2023 bombshell memoir, “Spare.”
“The Duke is the Latest York Times Bestselling creator of ‘Spare,’ a memoir of his life told with compassion, vulnerability, and unflinching honesty. ‘Spare’ was the publishing industry’s fastest selling non-fiction book, selling greater than 1.4 million copies on its first day of publication,” the bio adds.
Markle’s bio describes her as “a feminist and champion of human rights and gender equity.” It also mentions her role within the “hit series, ‘Suits.’”
“She has written for a variety of publications and created the life-style website, ‘The Tig’. The Duchess of Sussex guest edited British Vogue in July 2019, which was the fastest-selling copy within the magazine’s history,” the Duchess’ bio adds.
In addition, each of their pages confer with their two kids as “Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.”
