Royal Family Website Updates: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Profiles Under Scrutiny
The official website for the Royal Family recently underwent updates, but discrepancies and downgrades in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's profiles are raising eyebrows.
Despite swift corrections made to other sections of the website following highlighted inaccuracies by the Daily Express in August, errors persist in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's profile pages.
These inaccuracies include outdated information about their royal patronages, living arrangements, and official residence at Frogmore Cottage.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed concern over these errors, emphasizing the importance of reflecting current events accurately on the website to maintain relevance.
While the Royal Family's website has seen positive changes, such as refreshed images of senior royals, including Princess Catherine, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William, the reshuffling of profiles based on seniority has notably placed Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince Andrew at the bottom of the page.
Photographer Hugo Bernand captured the new portraits in Buckingham Palace's Blue Drawing Room, showcasing the royals in various settings related to their duties and engagements.
The rearrangement of the profiles reflects a hierarchy within the royal family, with the King and Queen rightfully positioned at the top.
Although the palace promptly removed Prince Harry's HRH title from his profile page last year, several inaccuracies still persist, indicating a need for further review and updates.
The profile erroneously states that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to balance their time between the UK and North America while honoring their royal duties, despite their transition to their independent platform, Archewell.
Notably, the profile includes outdated information regarding their patronages and official statements, which may mislead visitors about their current roles and responsibilities.
In particular, Meghan Markle's profile page is flagged for inaccurately listing her as a patron of the National Theatre and the Association of Commonwealth Universities, roles she no longer holds.
Furthermore, errors on Prince Harry's page, such as referring to his brother and sister-in-law as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge instead of their correct titles as the Prince and Princess of Wales, underscore the need for comprehensive updates to ensure accuracy and relevance.
Additionally, the mention of the next Invictus Games being held in The Hague in 2021 is outdated information that requires correction.
The discrepancies in Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's profiles on the Royal Family's website not only reflect a lack of current information but also raise questions about the website's overall accuracy and maintenance.
As the royal couple continues to forge their path outside traditional royal duties, ensuring that their profiles and information on the official website are updated and reflective of their current status is crucial.
The evolving nature of the royal family dynamics necessitates a meticulous approach to maintaining the accuracy and relevance of all profiles on the website to provide visitors with up-to-date and reliable information.
