When we visited Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Archewell site in October 2023, we were pleasantly surprised to see a photo swap that featured the royal couple at the 2023 Invictus Games. But now, nearly four months later, we certainly didn't expect to see the URL lead to a brand-new Sussex website.
Since 2020, the Duke, 39, and Duchess of Sussex, 42, have used the Archewell Foundation website to make official announcements. This took the place of their former royal website, sussexroyal.com. But now, the pair has brought the "sussex" back by switching their official URL to sussex.com. Why not simply return to using the original sussexroyal.com? It seems likely they're trying to avoid using the word "royal" in their rebranding.
While the old website is still accessible, it leads visitors to the new site with a pop-up message that reads, "This site was established in 2020 and sets out the work streams of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, prior to their move to the United States. To learn more about the Royal couple and their philanthropic endeavours, click here."
