Meghan Markle has posted a statement which appears to subtly hit back at critics of her and Prince Harry’s new website, which has come under fire for its usage of the royal crest and prominently using the couple’s royal titles.
The Duchess wrote a comment on Article.com, the digital agency she used for the designs of her sites The Tig and Archewell, who have now turned their hand to helping the Sussex rebrand.
She posted: “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.”
Meghan has long had a soft spot for Canada, as she lived in Toronto while she was filming Suits and will also be travelling there for the next Invictus Games.
The new website consistently refers to the couple as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, despite them stepping down as working royals in 2020.
While they are permitted to keep using their titles, questions have arisen about them being used in conjunction with any commercial ventures, which would violate the agreement made when they quit the Firm.
