Despite criticism, Meghan Markle praises the designer behind the Sussex website
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry faced backlash for renaming their website as part of a rebranding effort.
Meghan Markle demonstrated her resilience against criticism of her and Prince Harry’s new website by delivering a glowing review on the designer’s platform.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stirred controversy by rechristening their website from Archewell to Sussex.com, featuring a prominent headline proclaiming: “The Office of Prince Harry & Meghan The Duke & Duchess of Sussex”.
The website boasted a dropdown menu showcasing individual profiles of the couple, along with a dedicated News section highlighting their ventures.
The platform was crafted by Article, a Canadian digital agency previously engaged by Meghan for her lifestyle blog, The Tig.
Featured prominently on the website's front page, Meghan's review lauded the agency: “There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design as well as to the user experience.
"They’re not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They’re a very special company. Plus they’re Canadian, so I’m a fan.”
Critics accused the former royals of leveraging their titles to secure deals, aiming to revamp their image in Hollywood.
According to royal experts, this move purportedly breaches the Sandringham Summit Agreement, which prohibits the daily use of their royal titles.
