The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from royal duties in January 2020

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's former website still exists, despite their pledge to stop using the "Sussex Royal" label in 2020.

The Sussex Royal website has also not been updated to mark Queen Elizabeth II's death in September 2022.


The Duke and Duchess of Sussex agreed not to use the "Sussex Royal" title "in any territory" after stepping down as working royals in 2020.

Despite this, the website sussexroyal.com remains live almost three years after Megxit.

The couple's Instagram page, Sussex Royal, also remains live with 9 million followers.

Harry and Meghan's former website design had a section pledging to "serve the monarchy" when "called upon".

The website is no longer in use, as it has not been updated to show that Prince Harry's father is now the King.

One royal watcher said: "I am amazed that their Sussex Royal website is still in the public domain.

"The Queen is deceased and the Sussexes agreed not to use Sussex Royal moving forwards."

Another fan told The Mail: "At the very least it should reflect the Queen's death and be updated with King Charles III."

One social media user posted on X: "According to the Sussex Royal website, our late Queen is still very much alive."

It is unclear who operates or owns the Sussex Royal website as of 2023.

It has been kept anonymous by GoDaddy, a domain registry, in the US.

GB News has approached the Archewell Foundation for comment.

Meghan and Harry now reside in Montecito, California, where they are raising their two children, Prince Archie, four, and Princess Lilibet, two.

It comes as the duchess revealed that her four-and-a-half-old son recently asked his parents for a Leica camera for Christmas.
