Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "Will Not Be Broken" Over Recent Backlash "They’re still here.”

 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are used to the haters, so a little criticism over their recent rebrand isn't going to tear them down. Earlier this week, the couple revealed their new website,  Sussex.com which was met with some backlash as naysayers accused them of trying to reclaim their royal titles and status.

A representative for the duke and duchess reportedly toldThe Mirror  that the couple isn't too concerned about the recent slandering since they have yet to be defeated by the obstacles they've already faced in both their personal and professional lives.

“We’ve heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple," the rep stated. "They’re still here.”

They’re still working and pursuing what they believe in despite constantly being challenged and criticized,” the insider continued. “This couple will not be broken.”

The new website will be a vehicle for Meghan and Harry to relay news to their fans, as well as a central destination for Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions. Currently, both the duke and duchess have bio pages, and the homepage features an image of the couple, a graphic containing both Meghan's coat of arms and Harry's crest, and the words "The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex."

While the couple officially gave up their His/Her Royal Highness titles when they took a step back from their royal duties in 2020, they are still permitted to be referred to as duke and duchess. They've also changed the last name of their kids Archie and Lilibet to Sussex instead of Mountbatten-Windsor.

 

Just last week, Harry flew to the U.K. for 24 hours to visit his father, King Charles, in light of his cancer diagnosis. Harry and Meghan are currently in Canada at the 2025 Invictus Games One Year to Go event, during which Harry spoke with Good Morning America about his trip to see Charles.

 

“Look, I love my family," Harry said. "The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go and see him and spend any time with him — I’m grateful for that."

Fans defend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid breakup rumours

 

Fans have come to the defense of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle amid rumours the royal pair split up.

Following the release of the Prince Harry’s memoir Spare, speculation started that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – who tied the knot in 2018 – may not be as solid as they once were. According to Entertainment Tonight, reports circulated that the 38-year-old Duke of Sussex had gotten a hotel room for space and time away from his wife.

On 18 July, RadarOnline reported on Harry and Meghan’s rocky patch, claiming the two are “taking time apart”. An insider alleged to the outlet: “They’re trying to figure out what hit them. Harry doesn’t fit in Meghan’s tacky Tinseltown world.”

When Harry and Meghan’s $20m deal with Spotify came to an end last month, the rumours circulated once more. Bloomberg reported on Meghan’s difficulty in choosing guests to come on the show. Meanwhile, Harry wanted to bring on Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Mark Zuckerberg, but executives weren’t up for it.

However, a separate source told Page Six that the duo is still together and happily married. Kati Nicholl, author of The New Royals, told ET: “My experience with Harry and Meghan – whenever I’ve been with them as a couple, who are very, very close – [have] a sort of spark between them that always struck me as being very authentic.”

“However, there have been rumours circulating in recent months that the fallout from Spare, which is pretty epic for Prince Harry who had Britain really turned against him, his home country; he’s really not welcomed here,” she said. “[The book has] left a bad taste in people’s mouths. It’s further alienated him from his friends and his family and I think, inevitably, that has put a strain on them.”

 While the false narratives continue to surround the married pair, fans are shooting down the speculation on social media.

One royal fan tweeted: “Please know that I‘m a big fan of Meghan since her Suits time and of Prince Harry since his early years. My mother was a fan of his mom as I am. I joined Twitter only in January bc I was looking for a way to defend and support them. It‘s so good to know that we are not alone.”

Twitter users united, forming a group called “American Sussex squad” in support of Prince Harry and Meghan.

“American Sussex squad stan for Harry and Meghan only, nobody cares about the rest of those drab castle dwellers on that salty island,” one fan proclaimed.

Another person added: “This is why I stan Harry and Meghan. The nastiest, most connected, powerful people and institutions are doing all they can to end them. But H & M are still standing. Would you be?

Harry and Meghan met on a blind date in July 2016 and were married in May 2018. They share two children: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, four, and Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, two.
