'Disgraceful': Harry and Meghan slammed as couple unveils new website Sussex.com amid rebranding efforts

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s rocky relationship with the British royal family has been under an intense public spotlight since the couple sensationally announced plans to step back from royal duties in January 2020.

As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attempt to build a new life and rebrand themselves after exiting frontline monarchy roles, their every move faces impassioned criticism and debate. The latest flashpoint spurring outrage online comes as the couple launch a new website, sussex.com, as part of sweeping rebranding efforts, as per Daily Mail.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle unveil Sussex.com

Sussex.com serves as a hub for various initiatives, including links to the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions. The website is expected to serve as a platform for the Duke and Duchess to share personal and official updates, utilizing a dedicated 'News' section.

The 'About' page on sussex.com outlines the couple's commitment to shaping the future through business and philanthropy, encompassing the Archewell Foundation, Archewell Productions, patronages, ventures, and supported organizations. Biographies of Harry and Markle detail their backgrounds, achievements, and ongoing missions.

Harry's biography highlights his 10-year service in the British Armed Forces and his New York Times bestselling memoir, 'Spare'.

Meanwhile, Meghan's biography emphasizes her advocacy work, her prominent role in the TV series 'Suits', and her success as a New York Times bestselling author of children's books, including 'The Bench' and 'Together: Our Community Kitchen'.

The Archewell Foundation, established by the Duke and Duchess, aims to "build meaningful initiatives" and "drive long-term change." Similarly, Archewell Productions, founded in 2020, is dedicated to presenting "thought-provoking and diverse narratives that underscore our common humanity and celebrate community."

Rebranding efforts come after Harry flew to London following King Charles' cancer diagnosis

This rebranding effort comes shortly after Harry flew to London from California, his current place of residence, to visit Buckingham Palace following the announcement of the King's cancer diagnosis.

This marked the Duke of Sussex's first formal meeting with his father, King Charles, in 15 months, with their last in-person encounter dating back to the late Queen Elizabeth II's funeral in September 2022.

Internet erupts with criticism following rebranding efforts

The announcement of Harry and Markle's new website, sussex.com, prompted a critical response from the online community. One X user expressed their discontent, stating, "This is a bit much. Those of us who live in the county of Sussex, and never asked for this couple to be any kind of aristocratic representatives for us, take umbrage at the appropriation of the name for their website."

Another user questioned the couple's motives, commenting, "They can't make it with Archewell; they need the royal association, no matter how much they act like they fled from the ‘racist’ institution."

A third took a more skeptical stance, declaring, "This just goes to prove that Harry and Meghan's word is worthless. Anything they say has no validity as they can't even keep an agreement with the Queen."

The sentiment was echoed by another critic who expressed frustration, stating, "Absolutely disgraceful. The late Queen stated they could not use Royal connections in their brand, hence disallowing Sussex Royal. This is a blatant slap in the face to the RF."

Adding to the chorus of disapproval, a fifth user simply labeled the situation as "What a joke," while another dismissed the couple, writing, "How pathetic. Total failures."
