Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Demoted On Royals Website, Couple Now Appears Below Prince Edward & Sophie
More shade? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle used to be below Prince William and Kate Middleton on the royal family website, but their spot has now changed.
The couple — who left the royal family in 2020 and moved to California — now appear after Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne — who seemed to move up closer to William and Kate — and Prince Andrew.
“As announced in January, 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 Queen, the Commonwealth, and their patronages. Frogmore Cottage in the UK remains their family home," Harry's updated bio reads.
Meghan’s bio says: “The Duchess will continue to support a number of charitable causes and organizations which reflect the issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare.”
Some fans were curious why Meghan and Harry should be included since they are no longer working royals.
One person wrote, "@KensingtonRoyal @RoyalFamily still have #meghanmarkle #princeharry in the royal website? Why? They are not working royals and they "aren't dividing their time between the UK and North America" why are they being promoted in the website?" while another said, "Take them off. They left."
One user stuck up for the pair, writing, "This is petty and disappointing cause no matter what Prince Harry is still 6th in line for the throne. If you respect the royal family you respect him as well."
In February, the dad-of-one spoke about why they needed to relocate.
"It was never walking away, it was stepping back rather than stepping down," Harry told James Corden. "It was a really difficult environment as I think a lot of people saw. We all know what the British press can be like. It was destroying my mental health. This is toxic, so I did what any husband and what any father would do which is 'I need to get my family out of here,' but we never walked away."
Since then, Harry has spoken negatively about royal life, and now people want his royal titles gone.
"I think they should be stripped of their titles because they’re trashing the institution and causing a lot of damage in the Commonwealth where a lot of the countries are believing this racism crap," Piers Morgan fumed. “They’ve become the world’s biggest victims in the middle of a pandemic. It’s pathetic. Harry needs to grow up."
