Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s association with the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust (QCT) has been officially erased from the organization’s website.

The QCT recently relaunched its site, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who currently reside in their luxurious $14 million Californian mansion, were conspicuously absent from the revamped platform.

Previously, the QCT aimed to provide financial aid, resources, and assistance to young leaders within the Commonwealth, focusing on areas such as agriculture, education, and employability.

However, the updated website now emphasizes the Queen's legacy instead.

The removal of and 's presence from the QCT's website comes after their bombshell Netflix series, in which experts labeled the Commonwealth as “Empire 2.0.”

The organization took to Twitter to announce the launch of their redesigned website, stating, “Thanks to the important work of young leaders across the Commonwealth, we have amazing stories lined up for you.

Please take a moment to check it out and let us know what you think.”

Notably, the QCT's team section no longer includes any mention of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, nor are they referenced in the section highlighting the organizations the QCT supports.

Instead, the site provides an extensive explanation of the Commonwealth's origins and its establishment in 2018 as a tribute to the Queen's lifelong service.

The criticism directed at the Commonwealth in Harry and Meghan's Netflix series prompted these website updates.

Founded in December 1931, the Commonwealth currently comprises 54 countries.

According to the Royal Family's official website, the organization aims to foster international cooperation and trade relationships among people worldwide.

In an episode of the series, writer and broadcaster Afua Hirsch, author of the 2018 book “British,” referred to the Queen's cherished Commonwealth as “Empire 2.0.”

Hirsch further discussed 's stance against racism and addressed institutional racism in the United Kingdom.

She mentioned how Britain calculated that granting independence to these countries would safeguard its commercial and capitalist interests, resulting in the creation of the privileged club known as the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth is still described as a group of friends who share common values, but Hirsch finds this language problematic.

In December, during an appearance on Palace Confidential, the Daily Mail's diary editor commented that Prince Harry and were fortunate that the late monarch was unable to watch their television special, which premiered on the streaming platform that morning.

This recent development begs the question: Is the royal family finally distancing themselves from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
