Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team is defending their new website, which refers to them as “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” despite their departure from royal duties in 2020.
The website is a “one-stop shop” for all of their activities, and it opens on a page with their photo and the large text “The Office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.”
Royal analysts fear that using the Sussex titles will exacerbate the couple’s relationship with the Royal Family. However, one of their team members has spoken out in response to the criticism, claiming that the titles are “their name,” and that they are theirs to use on the website.
“Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.” That’s a fact. This is their surname and family name.”a source close to the couple told MailOnline.
“They are going to have real trouble with the use of Sussex. It is a royal title, and if there is any hint of commercialism about it, it will be shut down. It’s just staggering; they cannot see how gauche it is.”
