Royal Family Website Makes Big Changes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Bio Pages

The couple now has a joint profile on the royal family's website, and their bio's right next to Prince Andrew's.

The website for the royal family has now undergone its own editing process, albeit not nearly as controversial. Royal online sleuths noticed that the royals' official website scrapped Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's individual bios in favor of a joint profile.

A closer look at Royal.UK shows that King Charles IIIQueen CamillaPrince William and Kate Middleton each have their own bios. But anyone looking for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's bios will now have to scroll past seven royal family members before finally landing on Harry and Meghan's joint bio.

When you click on the joint bio, the royal palace has placed a message at the top of the page reminding you that Harry and Meghan took a step back from their royal duties in January 2020. The message also includes when (May 19, 2018) and where (St. George's Chapel, Windsor) they got married as well as the couple's two children -- Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.

But what has really caught people's attention is that the couple's joint bio is placed right next to Prince Andrew, the disgraced Duke of York who also stepped back from his royal duties in November 2019 amid his controversial connection to disgraced convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in August 2019. In addition to Prince Andrew stepping back from his royal duties, King Charles removed his access from private spaces within Buckingham Palace. Andrew was also stripped of his royal patronages and military affiliations in January 2022.

It's worth noting that Meghan's bio also includes her accolades as an actress.

"Prior to her marriage to The Duke of Sussex in 2018, The Duchess worked as an actress, appearing in film and television. She most notably played the role of Rachel Zane on the series Suits for seven seasons, completing over 100 episodes," the bio reads in part. "Alongside her successful career as an actress, The Duchess also wrote and edited a lifestyle website called The Tig."

Meanwhile, Meghan's latest venture includes something to do with American Riviera Orchard. She made a surprise return to Instagram last week when she launched the official IG account for American Riviera Orchard, which already has more than 90,000 followers.

The account links to americanriviera.com, which takes users to a site whose landing page is the same logo as its IG account, except the word "Montecito" is under it. The site also has a link that allows people to sign up for the mailing list. 

There's currently a pending trademark application that has been filed for America Riviera Orchard. Goods and services are listed as cookbooks, homeware, coffee supplies, jellies, jams, marmalades, fruit preserves, and more.
