PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle’s company Archewell has not updated their website in nearly two months – and royal fans and experts are all saying the same thing.
The faux pas comes after the pair were dumped by Spotify last week – with the Sussexes potentially losing out on an £18 million payout.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s website Archewell has not been updated in two months
Their website still brags about their axed Spotify deal
The axing was confirmed in a joint statement from Archewell Audio, the couple’s content creation label, and the streaming giant.
It read: “Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together.”
However, the statement is nowhere to be seen on their website – which still brags about their now-defunct podcast deal.
It reads: “Under an exclusive partnership, Archewell Audio will join Spotify and their global reach—180 million Premium subscribers and 406 million monthly active users around the world—to spotlight diverse perspectives and voices.”
The website, which usually posts three to four times a month in its ‘news’ section, has not been updated since May 15.
Royal fans were quick to spot the blunder and rushed to social media to give their opinion.
One said: “Something is going on with Archewell’s website. Why haven’t they updated anything in months?”
Another added: “Archewell website hasn’t been updated since May 15th and many of the pages won’t even load.”
A third said: “They’re a bit behind the game… It still says they work with Spotify!”
‘WHY SO QUIET?’
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams is also questioning why the site has not been updated.
He told The Celeb Report: “The question is why are they so quiet at the moment? What is going on?
“It really does seem they are brewing something up.
“I would not be surprised if we had an announcement from them very soon.
“What we are all waiting for is the Sussex’s fight back.
“Of course, they’ve lost Spotify. There are rumours that they will lose Netflix. And now they have lost their fight for a patent.
“It seems as if their empire is about to crumble – but I believe they are biding their time to bite back.”
Several fans believe the lack of updates could be related to the fact that the U.S. Patent Office last week denied their request to trademark the name of their podcast.
The couple had their application for exclusive rights to ‘Archetypes’ refused to avoid “confusion” with an existing brand.
The Archewell website launched on New Years Eve 2020.
In January it was revealed that the foundation gave away £2.5million — $3million — from the £10.5million raised in its first year of operation.
The £2.5million included grants towards procuring millions of Covid vaccinations and a guide to embrace “positive masculinity”.
Money also went to campaigns for fair vaccine access in “low and middle-income countries” in Africa, South America and Asia — plus the UK and US — the report says.
Archewell helped to build a playground for children of Uvalde, Texas, after a gun massacre in a school in the city last year left 19 young pupils and two teachers dead.
