Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have long since ceased to be popular members of the royal family. However, this step is likely to hurt them.
The dispute between Prince Harry, his wife Meghan Markle and the British royals has been going on for years. Even the death of Queen Elizabeth II or the cancer of King Charles III and Kate Middleton have not brought about reconciliation.
On the contrary: The royal palace has now taken another step to highlight the distance between the two parties. The story of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will no longer have a place on an official website.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Drastic step from official side
The relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle essentially marked the beginning of the rift between the royal son and his family. It was not for nothing that the Sussexes’ resignation as working royals was also called “Megxit”.
Is this background also the explanation for why the official side would prefer to forget the relationship between the two? On the royals’ website, “royals.uk”, the entry about Prince Harry and his lover has been deleted. In the statement from November 2016, Prince William’s brother confirmed his feelings for the US actress and also defended her against racist insults.

After more than seven years, the statement can now suddenly no longer be found, even though all official statements and press releases from the royals are listed there. The current deletion is not the first broadside that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have had to endure in this regard.
It was only in March that the biographies of the two, which had previously been separate, were brought together, along with the note that the Sussexes had withdrawn from the royal family.
