Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, appear to be no-limit soldiers in their crusade to share their truths and stain the Royal Family.
However, it seems that there is one line the pair has decided would be too much or too provocative to cross. Last week, Prince Harry and Markle surprised the world with the launch of their new website, Sussex.com.
The site features polished bios of the couple and new glossy photos, along with only Meghan Markle’s royal coat of arms.
It is claimed that the couple declined to use Prince Harry’s royal coat of arms because it would set off a reaction from King Charles III and Prince William.
The Daily Mail reports: “Insiders highlighted the decision to use only Meghan’s royal coat of arms on the web page and not Harry’s. Some theorized that having the prince’s coat of arms would be too provocative ‘even for them’. Others wondered whether it was because, ‘ultimately, this is a rebranding for Meghan.”
A source said: “The reality behind the new site is very simple— it’s a hub for the work the Sussexes do and it reflects the fact the family have, since the King’s coronation, the same surname for the first time. That’s a big deal for any family. It represents their unification, and it’s a proud moment.”
Nonetheless, Prince Harry and Markle defended their decision by being provocative and putting the spotlight on the fact that King Charles and Prince William are making millions every year using their names and coats of arms.
A royal insider said: “It isn’t any sort of problem for the rest of the royal family. It hasn’t even been part of a conversation. Harry is more concerned about the health and wellbeing of the King and Kate and thinks that is where the focus should be. There certainly hasn’t been any problem raised about the use of a coat of arms by anyone in the royal household — why would they object when it’s perfectly normal and is pretty routine? Lots of people are familiar with the Duchy of Cornwall products in the shops and about 800 companies are using the royal warrant coat of arms for commercial reasons.”
The source went on to say: “Sussex.com is just an umbrella for good causes like [Harry’s organizations] Sentebale, Invictus, and Travelyst and separates them from the non-profit Archewell foundation and Archewell Productions, which is a profit-for-good company. There’s no use of the word ‘royal’ on the site for a good reason — to ensure there could be no conflict with anyone’s wishes.”
The Sussexes are making it clear that they will defend their territory.
