Prince Archie’s online profile on the Royal Family’s official website reportedly stopped working on Saturday afternoon. Those looking for information on the three-year-old son of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry would have found a blank page and a message reading: “The requested page could not be found.”
The page, the MailOnline wrote, returned operative a few hours later, presenting one noticeable tweak.
The main picture underneath the title of the page, Prince Archie of Sussex, now features Prince Harry holding the newborn son in his arms while Meghan lovingly looks at her child.
The picture previously chosen for this page was slightly different, as it showed Prince Archie still in his father’s arms but with Meghan looking at her husband with a smile rather than at her son.
Both photographs were taken two days after Archie’s birth on May 6 2019, during a photocall restricted to a handful of photographers invited to Windsor Castle.
While Prince Archie’s official webpage was seemingly updated, it still presents a glaring mistake.

It reads: “Prince Archie of Sussex was born at 05:26 on Monday 6th May. He is the first child of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and is seventh in line to the throne.”
However, following the death of Archie’s great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II, the young prince became sixth-in-line to the throne, while his younger sister Princess Lilibet Diana became seventh-in-line.
The page dedicated to the line of succession to the throne, however, lists the Sussexes’ children in their correct position in the line of succession.
Royal.uk also acknowledges in a message presented at the top of every page that “some information” in the website “may be out of date following the death of Queen Elizabeth”.

Earlier this month, the Royal.uk’s page concerning Archie had already been changed to reflect the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s desire to have their children styled with their royal titles.
On March 8, the Sussexes revealed their children would use their princely titles as a spokesperson confirmed “Princess Lilibet Diana” had been christened.
The child, who is turning two in June, was previously addressed on the Royal.uk website as Miss Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor.
Similarly, Prince Archie was styled as Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
Meghan and Harry said in a statement separate from the one concerning the christening of Lilibet that their children’s titles “have been a birthright since their grandfather became monarch”.
Indeed, as children of the son of the monarch, Lilibet and Archie became eligible to their royal title upon the accession to the throne of King Charles, in line with the 1917 Letters Patent.
However, there was speculation the Sussexes may not want to use these honours or that the monarch could issue a new Letters Patent to change the rules regarding inheriting titles.
The statement added: “This matter has been settled for some time in alignment with Buckingham Palace.”
Harry and Meghan are understood to have the intention to use these titles only for official events and to have always intended to leave the choice to use or not their titles to their children when they grow up.
