KEY POINTS

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now rank below Prince Edward and wife Sophie on the royals' website
  • Their bios were also updated to reflect their decision to step down from their royal duties last year
  • Markle's bio stated she will continue to support charitable causes and organizations close to her heart

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared to have been moved down the list of senior royals on the British royal family's official website, according to a report.

Months after their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's profiles on the website Royal.uk now appear below those of Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, Page Six reported.

Royal fans noticed that the page was down in previous weeks because it was under construction, the outlet noted. When it went live again, Prince Harry and Markle appeared below Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Countess Sophie. Prior to the changes, the Sussexes ranked beneath Prince William and Kate Middleton, Page Six said.

Prince Harry and Markle's biographies were also updated to reflect their decision to step down from their royal duties last year.

"As announced in January, The Duke and Duchess have stepped back as senior members of The Royal Family. They are balancing their time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor their duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and their patronages. Frogmore Cottage in the U.K. remains their family home," Prince Harry's updated biography read.

The same paragraph was added to Markle's profile. It also mentioned that she will "continue to support a number of charitable causes and organizations which reflect the issues with which she has long been associated including the arts, access to education, support for women and animal welfare."

The changes made to the royals' website came after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell tell-all with Winfrey in which they made allegations of racism against the royal family. Markle said a member of the firm raised concerns about how dark their son's skin color would be before he was born, though Prince Harry later clarified that neither the Queen nor Prince Philip had been involved in these conversations.

Prince Harry also continued to speak about his family while sharing his mental health journey in recent interviews and appearances, and his revelations suggested that the royals did not support him and Markle when they were struggling.

"I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever, it is just got met with total silence, total neglect," he said his Apple TV+ docuseries "The Me You Can't See."

Prince Harry has since received criticism from several royal authors and commentators for his alleged jabs toward the royal family. Princess Diana's former butler, Paul Burrell, said last month that Prince Harry may be destroying himself with what he is doing.

"I think now it could only be Meghan who can stop him from doing these interviews and doing any more damage, and destroying himself. He won’t heal if he keeps doing this – it’ll make things worse in the long run. I honestly have no idea when it will stop," Burrell told Closer.
