In what could mark a significant shift in royal protocol, Buckingham Palace is reportedly preparing to remove Meghan Markle’s profile from the official Royal Family website. The timing of this decision appears to coincide with the upcoming release of Prince Harry’s second memoir, Spare Two, which has already stirred speculation about fresh revelations involving senior members of the monarchy.
If confirmed, the move would be a rare and symbolic gesture. The Royal Family’s website serves not only as a resource but also as a public reflection of who remains connected to the institution. While profiles for other former working royals—such as Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson—still remain, even if reduced, sources claim Meghan may be fully removed.
A Digital Step Back
According to palace insiders, the decision reflects a broader effort to draw clearer lines between working royals and those who have stepped away from official duties. A senior aide reportedly said, “It’s not about erasing history. It’s about presenting an accurate and up-to-date picture of the Royal Household as it stands today.”
While Meghan and Prince Harry stepped back from royal duties in 2020, their continued use of royal titles and global public presence has sparked ongoing debate within royal circles.
The Impact of Spare Two
Tensions are believed to have resurfaced in light of Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir, Spare Two, which is rumored to address deeper family rifts, including sensitive moments with his father, King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Prince William. While Meghan is not the author of the book, her perceived influence and support of Harry’s candid public narratives have once again placed her in the spotlight.
A royal insider stated: “Prince Harry will always be King Charles’s son, but Meghan’s connection to the institution is different. This is about boundaries, not punishment.”
A Quiet but Clear Message
Though the Palace has not issued an official statement, royal commentators suggest the decision to remove Meghan’s profile carries more than just technical weight.
“This isn’t just about a website update,” said royal expert Judith Spencer. “It’s a carefully measured response that signals the monarchy is ready to turn a page—and that Meghan’s chapter as a royal is now part of the past.”
Meghan and the Monarchy: A Complicated Relationship
Since joining the Royal Family in 2018, Meghan has faced both adoration and intense scrutiny. Her and Prince Harry’s departure from royal life was followed by high-profile interviews and media projects that publicly addressed their experiences inside the institution.
Supporters have praised Meghan for her openness and advocacy, while critics have argued that she has used her royal connection to shape her public narrative.
Despite the controversies, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continue to work on global philanthropic projects and media ventures through their Archewell Foundation. However, the removal from the royal website—if it proceeds—may quietly close the door on her official ties to the monarchy.
