The Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed a desire to 'step back' as senior royals in January 2020

Prince Harry's profile on the Royal Family website contains glaring errors, despite the royal leaving the UK four years ago.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s profile pages continue to state that the pair have royal patronages, are splitting their time between the UK and North America, and live at Frogmore Cottage.


As it happens, Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, moved to the US in the summer of 2020 and have only returned to the UK a couple of times since.

The Sussexes were also ordered to "vacate" their UK home Frogmore Cottage last year by the duke's father, King Charles.

Harry and Meghan's profiles on the Royal Family website state: “As announced in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess have stepped back as senior members of the Royal Family.

"They are balancing their time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour their duty to the King, the Commonwealth, and their patronages.”

The latter sentence is a direct repeat of Harry and Meghan’s original statement when they announced they were stepping back as "senior royals".

However, the late Queen Elizabeth II has been replaced with King Charles's name.

Despite this statement appearing on the Royal Family website, it is full of inaccuracies.

Prince Harry has only returned to the UK to attend court cases, the Platinum Jubilee, his father’s Coronation and the WellChild awards in September.

Meanwhile, Meghan has not returned since the late monarch's funeral in September 2022.

They also relinquished their military appointments and patronages in February 2021, when it was confirmed they would not return to the Firm as working royals.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex also lost their roles as President and Vice-President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.

Buckingham Palace said at the time: “The honorary military appointments and royal patronages held by the duke and duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of the Royal Family.”

Prince Harry did keep some private patronages or presidencies, including African Parks, the Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund, Invictus Games, Sentebale, and WellChild.

GB News has approached Buckingham Palace for comment.
