In a move that is sure to spark fresh rumors of tensions within the British royal family, the profiles of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been updated on the official royal website.
While Harry and Meghan previously had individual bios showcasing their achievements and patronages as working royals, their profiles have now been combined into a single entry. The refreshed bio acknowledges that the couple stepped away from royal duties in 2020 to pursue financial independence in America.
The biography retains key facts about Harry and Meghan’s careers as royals before their move, such as Harry’s establishing of the Invictus Games and their charitable work. However, it no longer profiles their activities separately, instead taking a more generalized tone as they now reside overseas with their children Archie and Lilibet.
Some royal observers speculate this change may signal the monarchy further distancing itself from the Sussexes after their high-profile interviews last year where they openly discussed challenges with royal life. However, others argue it simply modernizes their digital presence in light of their non-working status today.
Regardless of the motivation, royal watchers will be dissecting this subtle shift for clues on Buckingham Palace’s approach to one of the family’s most talked-about couples in recent times. Only future responses will tell if tensions still simmer across the pond or if this marks the start of a calmer phase in Harry and Meghan’s relationship with the Windsors.
