A royal downsize.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s individual bios have been scrubbed and replaced by a joint profile on the official website of the royal family.
The shared bio is now placed at the very bottom of a list of royal family members, directly after an image of disgraced Prince Andrew.
“As announced in January 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped back as working members of The Royal Family,” a description leading to their direct page reads.
“The couple married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor on 19 May 2018 and have two children: Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”
The website then lists Harry’s accomplishments, including his 10 years in the Armed Forces and his efforts in co-founding the Sentebale charity with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006.
It also trumpets the Duke’s creation of the Invictus Games, a global sporting event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women.
For Markle’s part, the bio mentions her time as an actress, “most notably” on the series “Suits” for “seven seasons, completing over 100 episodes.”
It also details her royal patronages and notes that if people are interested in her and Harry’s “current work,” information can be found on the couple’s own official website.

Previously, Harry, 39, and Markle, 42, each had their own biographical blurb on royal.uk.
Fan blog Gert’s Royals was first to notice the recent change.
As previously reported, the duo stepped down from their senior royal duties in January 2020 and moved to California where they currently reside. They detailed their unhappiness with the institution and the press intrusion in an explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 and in Harry’s 2023 memoir, “Spare.”
In it, he claimed that two unnamed royal members questioned the potential skin color of their then-unborn son, Prince Archie.
Harry also alleged that the palace did nothing to stem the barrage of negative press directed toward himself and Markle.
It’s been a tumultuous time for the House of Windsor.
King Charles III is undergoing treatment for an undisclosed cancer while Kate Middleton has been the subject of intense media speculation following her recovery from “planned abdominal surgery” in January.
The Princess of Wales finally appeared in public over the weekend when she was snapped picking up groceries at a food stand in Windsor with William.
Meanwhile, Markle unrolled a lifestyle brand last week called American Riveria Orchard, which plans on shilling tableware and jams among other kitchen supplies.
