The couple faced a backlash over the name of their website

Meghan Markle has broken her silence since the Sussexes' major rebrand was unveiled on Monday.

Prince Harry and his wife launched their new website earlier this week.


The move was a shift away from the Royal Family as neither couple mentioned their time in the monarchy in their biographies on the website.

However, Meghan and Harry's Duke and Duchess of Sussex titles feature throughout.

The website was designed by Article, an agency that previously built Meghan's lifestyle blog The Tig and the Archewell website.

In a statement regarding their new website, Meghan said: "There is a reason I 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 as well as to the user experience.

"They’re not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They’re a very special company. Plus they’re Canadian, so I’m a fan."

The couple were defended after a storm erupted over the name of their new website.

Harry and Meghan are no longer working members of the Royal Family but have been allowed to retain their Sussex titles.

The use of Sussex in the name of their website has sparked a backlash from those close to the Royal Family.

However, a source close to Sussexes has hit out at criticism of the couple's choice of name for their website.

They told the Mail: "Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That is a fact. It is their surname and family name."

It comes as a royal insider claimed Meghan and Harry are facing "real trouble" over their decision to incorporate their royal titles into their new website.

The insider said: 'They are going to have real trouble with the use of Sussex.

"It is a royal title and if there is any hint of commercialism about this it will be shut down.

"It's just staggering they cannot see how gauche it is."
