Continuing to possibly hint at the alleged long-standing rift between the Royal Family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it’s been revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bios have been removed and replaced by a joint profile of the Royal Family’s website.
The new joint bio reads, “As announced in January 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped back as working members of The Royal Family. The couple married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor on 19 May 2018 and have two children: Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”
In Prince Harry’s about section, it was revealed that he was born at 4:20 p.m. on Sept. 15, 1984. He is the youngest son of King Charles III and the late Princess Diana.
Harry spent ten years working in the Armed Forces and ended his operational duties in 2015. He also conducted two tours of duty in Afghanistan with the British Army during his service.
“The Duke of Sussex co-founded Sentebale with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006. The charity, set up in memory of the princes’ mothers (Sentebale means ‘Forget me not’), works to support orphans and vulnerable children in Lesotho.”
For Meghan Markle’s section, it was revealed that before her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018, she was an actress. She appeared in both TV and film. The section highlighted her time as Rachel Zane on Suits. It was further noted that she wrote and edited the lifestyle website, The Tig.
“During her time as a working member of the Royal Family, The Duchess became Patron of The National Theatre, The Association of Commonwealth Universities, Smart Works – which helps long term unemployed and vulnerable women return to employment – and animal welfare charity, Mayhew.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Stepped Back as ‘Senior’ Members of the Royal Family in Jan. 2020
The ongoing situation between the Royal Family and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began in Jan. 2020, when the couple announced their decision to step down as “senior” members.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent,” the couple stated in an Instagram post. “While continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle also stated they planned to balance their time in the UK and North America. “This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born,” they continued. “While also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter.”
Since moving to America, the couple has welcomed their daughter Lilibet. Markle recently announced her new lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. The brand will “reflect” everything she loves.
This includes family, cooking, entertaining, and home decor. A source told PEOPLE the Dutchess is excited about the new venture. “This is something she’s been wanting to do for a while. She is excited to share her style and things she loves.”
