Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "Will Not Be Broken" Over Recent Backlash

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 told The 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."
