PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s new website could be shut down by the royal family, sources claim.
The pair last night launched Sussex.com to replace their website Archewell.com – and it is thought the move could anger the company.

While Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, have ditched their Archewell website, their eponymous foundation is still going strong.
Royal expert Angela Levin told The Sun last night that using their Sussex title and royal coat of arms could bother the royal family because it “cashes in” on their strong ties.
And now a source has told MailOnline they believe the site could be shut down.
They said: “They will have real problems using Sussex.
“It is a royal title and if there is any hint of commercialism in it, it will be shut down.
“It’s amazing that they don’t see how messy it is.”
It comes after Ms Levin called the couple “pathetic” for using the royal coat of arms.
She said: “They are cashing in on their royal connections which they say they hate so much.
“Queen Elizabeth II would be furious because they promised not to do it.
“They should be prevented from using a title they have abused for years.”
Their new move to rebrand as Sussex.com comes after the Queen banned the couple from using ‘SussexRoyal’ after they stepped down from royal duties four years ago.
The Queen ordered the Sussexes to mothball it in an exit settlement in January 2020, when Meghan and Harry ceased to be senior royals.
But the new page still links to the Sussex Royal website.
However, a source close to the couple has now defended the move.
Here are some lesser known facts about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
They said: “Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That’s a fact. It is their surname and last name.”
Visitors to that page see a notice that reads: “This page was established in 2020 and features the workflows of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to their move to the United States.”
The link then takes the couple back to Sussex.com.
It comes as the couple are due to appear in Vancouver this week to mark 12 months before Harry’s 2025 Invictus Games.
ROYAL REBRAND
This is the first rebrand the pair has undergone since launching Archewell in October 2020.
They previously used Sussex Royal to set up their website and social media profiles.
The Megxit terms mean the couple can use their titles of duke and duchess, but cannot use HRV in their new financial ventures.
However, the couple have now been accused of “cashing in” on their royal connections – after using their royal coat of arms.
The Duchess of Sussex worked closely with the College of Arms in London to create the design, Kensington Palace said when it was first revealed following their royal wedding in May 2018.
MEGXIT TERMS
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced on January 8, 2020 that they will be stepping down as ‘senior’ members of the royal family.
On January 18, it was announced that Harry and Meghan “will no longer be working members of the British Royal Family” and will no longer use their titles of “Royal Highness”.
A palace spokeswoman said the couple would no longer receive public money and would repay the £2.4million renovation costs of their holiday home – Frogmore – in Windsor, Berks.
The following day, Harry said in a heartfelt speech: “We had hoped to continue to serve the Queen, the Commonwealth and my military associations without public funding. Unfortunately, that was not possible.”
The Duke of Sussex said he had found “the love and happiness I had hoped for all my life” with Meghan.
In September last year, it was revealed that the couple was planning to launch new projects.
On Sussex.com, Harry and Meghan’s bios include the line: “The Duke and Duchess are committed to their mission: Show up, do good.
“They hold the value that charity work shouldn’t just be a favor, it should be held in the hand.”
The page also reads: “The office of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex is shaping the future through business and philanthropy.
“This includes: The Archewell Foundation, Archwell Productions, sponsorships, ventures and organizations supported by the couple, individually and/or jointly.”
Prince Harry’s biography describes him as a “humanitarian, military veteran, mental health advocate and environmental campaigner”.
It says: “He has dedicated his adult life to advancing causes he is passionate about that drive lasting change for people and places.”
Queen Elizabeth II would be furious because they promised not to do it.

The site also details his time in the military, the names of the organizations he founded, and that he became a New York Times bestselling author after writing Spare.
Meghan’s bio says she is a “feminist and supporter of human rights and gender equality.”
The website says, “Her lifelong advocacy for women and girls remains a constant thread in her humanitarian and business endeavors.”
She goes on to say that she has been “named one of the most powerful women in the world”, had a starring role in the TV series Suits and has been in roles such as UN Women’s advocate for women’s political participation.
It comes after Prince Harry met his father for half an hour at Clarence House on Tuesday, their first face-to-face meeting in 16 months.
Business failures of Harry and Meghan
He flew thousands of miles from his home in California to be by the king’s side after a shock bout with cancer.
However, he only saw his father for 30 minutes before he flew to Sandringham for a holiday following the diagnosis.
And he hasn’t met William after years of Harry’s attacks on Oprah, Netflix and in his autobiography Spare.
