Since stepping back from royal duties and moving to America, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal-related actions have been scrutinized. Their recent website launch, transitioning from using Sussex Royal as their URL to simply Sussex, has drawn attention for maintaining their royal titles on the landing page.

This move has sparked debates on Twitter, with some users questioning the necessity of these titles for the couple's work and others calling for the titles to be removed, highlighting their disconnection from the monarchy.

Upon entering their new website, internet users are greeted with the line "THE OFFICE OF PRINCE HARRY & MEGHAN THE DUKE & DUCHESS OF SUSSEX." Some frustrated social media users took their sentiments to Twitter and aired their thoughts.

"They hold no official offices, they are not connected to the monarchy or the royal family with their work in any way," another X user pointed out.

"They need their titles removed from them," a third protested, highlighting how Prince Harry and Meghan are profiting through the royal titles without honoring the royal family.

A fourth person wondered if it was legal for those who have left their royal duties to still hold the same title. "They have gotten away with too much already," the person wrote.

The new website features information about the couple, recent news, and links to their Archwell Foundation and Archwell Productions websites, differing from their former website's focus on the three topics: supporting the community, serving the Monarchy, and strengthening the Commonwealth.

Most recently, Prince Harry flew to London after his father's cancer diagnosis was revealed publicly. Meanwhile, his wife stayed home in California to take care of their two children.
