Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have experienced a significant setback after their recent acquisition of a holiday home in Portugal, now facing fresh embarrassment due to changes on the official royal website. According to the latest update from Buckingham Palace, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been ranked below Prince Andrew in the royal family hierarchy.
This change places Harry and Meghan at the bottom of the “Role of the Royal Family” page, which features King Charles at the top, followed by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. In a notable contrast, Prince Andrew, despite stepping down from royal duties in 2019 following his association with the late Jeffrey Epstein, still retains a separate section on the site. In contrast, Harry and Meghan share a combined bio.
The demotion has added another layer of complexity to the Sussexes’ relationship with the royal family, highlighting the growing distance since the couple stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020.
This update to the royal website follows news of Harry and Meghan’s $4.7 million property purchase in Portugal, underscoring the ongoing evolution of their roles within and outside of royal circles.
