Meghan, Duchess of Sussex piles praise on creators of her new under-fire website
As her Sussex.com site is slammed by royal insiders, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has spoke out to praise the “talented team” behind it.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has heaped praise on the “talented team” behind her under-fire new website.
The former ‘Suits’ actress, 42, and her husband Prince Harry, 39, were lambasted for opening the Sussex.com domain on Monday (13.02.24), with critics saying it was part of their bid to cash in on their Sussex titles when they no longer do duties for the royal family – and after they were told to drop them in 2020 after stepping down as working royals.
Meghan said on Wednesday (14.02.24) in a testimonial posted on the site of Canadian agency Article – which created Sussex.com – the firm was a “very special company”, and praised its “thoughtful approach to design”.
The mum-of-two, who has son Archie, four, and two-year-old daughter Lilibet with Harry, said: “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.”
The company was also behind the websites for Meghan and Harry’s Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions, as well as the duchess’ now-closed lifestyle blog The Tig.
Royal insiders told MailOnline the Sussex.com site made “no sense” as it “blurred” a line “between the past and the present” as the couple are no longer working royals.
Harry and Meghan unveiled their new website on Monday (12.02.24), saying it will show how the couple are “shaping the future through business and philanthropy”.
There is no reference in their biographies about any of their links to the royal family despite Harry being fifth in line to the throne.
