Prince Harry believes that critics should be more focused on King Charles’ health rather than his and Meghan Markle’s shiny new Sussex website, according to a report.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were hit with backlash after using their royal titles and the royal coat of arms on their new Sussex.com website.
But as the furor over the move continues to unfold, Harry has apparently brushed off criticism and is instead urging others to shift their focus on his ailing father’s well-being.
“It isn’t any sort of problem for the rest of the royal family. It hasn’t even been part of a conversation,” a source told the Times.
“Harry is more concerned about the health and well-being of the King and Kate [Middleton] and thinks that is where the focus should be.”

On Monday, the runaway royals awoke to a shiny new online domain that features each of their bios as well as links to their Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions organizations.
But their new rebrand seemingly struck a nerve among the public, who noticed that they used their royal titles — despite quitting the Firm in 2020.
The insider went on, “There certainly hasn’t been any problem raised about the use of a coat of arms by anyone at the royal household — why would they object when it’s perfectly normal and is pretty routine?”
“Lots of people are familiar with the Duchy of Cornwall products in the shops and there are about 800 companies using the royal warrant coat of arms for commercial reasons,” the source added.
The Post has reached out to reps for the Sussexes for comment.
The Sussexes were labeled “ridiculous” for using the royal coat of arms at the top of the homepage with text underneath that reads, “The office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.” However, others applauded them for making a “fresh” change to their online domain.
The foundation’s website has also gotten a face-lift, to coordinate with the new hub’s dark navy and beige theme.
Additionally, the Sussex.com site offers a news tab that summarizes the pair’s achievements.
The “Suits” alum has spoken out about the new site, saying she’s “a fan” after users slammed the runaway royals for flattering themselves on the website.
Elsewhere, sources confirmed to Page Six that the couple adopted the Sussex title as their children’s last name.
Rather than being known as the Mountbatten-Windsors, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s kids will now be known as Prince Archie Sussex and Princess Lilibet Sussex.
“The reality behind the new site is very simple — it’s a hub for the work the Sussexes do and it reflects the fact the family have, since the King’s coronation, the same surname for the first time,” an insider told the Times. “That’s a big deal for any family. It represents their unification and it’s a proud moment.”
The adaptation of Sussex for both of their children is believed to be in keeping with the way Harry was referred to as Captain Wales during his time in the British Army, the outlet adds.
