Sussex.com: The Peculiar Link Between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s New Website and Their Past Royal Domain
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have raised eyebrows by connecting their new Sussex.com website back to their previous domain, Sussexroyal.com.
The latter was deemed as highly unusual today, with critics labeling it an anomaly.
Despite being advised by the late Queen Elizabeth II and senior officials to relinquish the Sussex Royal label in February 2020 upon stepping down as working royals, the Harkles' Sussexroyal.com site remains active even four years later, accompanied by a disclaimer highlighting its initial purpose of showcasing the endeavors of Harry and Meghan before their relocation to the US.
Surprisingly, the latest website, Galizisussex.com, includes a link at the bottom bearing the logo “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” redirecting users back to Sussexroyal.com.
With the absence of King and Catherine from the scene and their proposals being rejected, the couple persists in making their presence felt through various means.
However, it's worth noting that Sussex Royal does not belong to them; rather, it is the property and copyright of the crown.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams expressed to Mail Online today that incorporating a name they are unable to use is illogical, describing it as somewhat of an anomaly.
Furthermore, branding culture expert Nick Ede pointed out that this connection blurs the line between the past and present, potentially causing confusion.
Nevertheless, he acknowledged its function in reminding people of Harry and Meghan's past royal work.
Ede humorously suggested that some website traffic may originate from tourists seeking the best fish and chips spot in Sussex, unaware that they are navigating to the Duke and Duchess' office instead.
Notably, the new website lacks any mention of serving the monarchy, a phrase prominently featured on Sussexroyal.com when it launched in 2020.
Additionally, it was revealed today that Sussex.com showcases Meghan's coat of arms, approved by Elizabeth II upon her marriage in May 2018.
Observers also noticed that Meghan's biography on Sussex.com surpasses Harry's by 220 words, with hers totaling 558 words compared to his 338.
Recent reports from Barkjack have raised concerns about the legitimacy of Meghan and Harry's new website, labeling it a potential scam.
The source cautioned against visiting the site, alleging that user data may be tracked and monitored without consent, potentially breaching privacy laws.
Lady C, in a recent interview, criticized Harry and Meghan for claiming ownership over the name Sussex, highlighting that the website Sussex.com was originally purchased by an American in 1995.
She emphasized that Harry and Meghan's use of Sussexroyal to drive traffic to Sussex.com is unauthorized, calling for intervention from King Charles and Parliament to address the matter promptly.
