Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, caused quite a stir recently with their rebrand. The pair updated their Archewell website to Sussex.com, which made their royal connection crystal clear. But that reportedly hasn’t gone down well at the Palace. And according to a royal expert, something else the couple did to go with the Sussex rebrand likely has Harry’s grandfather, the late Prince Philip, “turning in his grave.”
Here’s more on that, plus what some royal commentators are accusing the duke and duchess of after they used a certain image on their new website.

Before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals, the couple welcomed their first child, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor (now Prince Archie). Two years later, after the Sussexes moved to California, their daughter Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor (now Princess Lilibet) was born.
One of the most talked about topics when royal watchers mention Harry and Meghan’s children is that they are hardly ever seen in public. Now, a royal author is claiming that the duke and his wife are “storing up a lot of trouble” for the kids, but the reasoning has nothing to do with their rare appearances.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their first child, Prince Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, while Harry and Meghan were still working members of the royal family. Of course, royal family tradition says that the baby should be introduced to the world on the steps of the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital, but Harry and Meghan didn’t want to follow that protocol; they wanted much more privacy for the birth of their first child.
Royal sources say that Harry became borderline “obsessed” with keeping Archie’s birth a secret, and Meghan supposedly thought the idea of so heavily publicizing the birth felt “barbaric.”

King Charles III's first Trooping the Colour is on June 17, and according to People, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be present for the event. According to the publication, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not been invited to the annual military parade, which is a public celebration of the British monarch's birthday. Reps for Buckingham Palace and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not immediately respond to Popsugar's request for comment.
While Charles has always attended the parade with his family, this year marks the first time it'll take place during his reign. For the past 70 years, Trooping the Colour was known as the Queen's Birthday Parade because Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne. Participants typically include 1,400 officers, 200 horses, and 400 musicians, and there are two rehearsals in the run-up to the big day. The route runs from Buckingham Palace along The Mall to Horse...

King Charles III might be the leader of the British royal family, but he’s also a grandfather. And a “relaxed” one — at least much of the time — at that. A body language expert’s analysis of the king in grandpa “mode.” Plus, the time he had an “uncomfortable” moment with Prince George.
