Royal fans have spotted one glaring error on the crest used on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new website.
The couple, who stepped down as working royals in 2020, have been accused of exploiting their royal connections once again.
The heraldic coat of arms is the emblem for their new website sussex.com, which replaces archewell.com.
Meghan worked alongside the College of Arms on the crest’s design when she was a working royal, with the lion representing the Duke of Sussex and Meghan’s California roots being symbolised by the sun rays and blue background.
Despite this, fans have noticed one thing – the crest appears to be out-of-date with the coronet featuring five points which represents being a grandson of the monarch.
To be correct for the current monarchy, it should boast three points as Harry is now the son of the monarch – and has been for the past 17 months.
Sources close to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex claim that the website has been set up to reveal “personal updates” for the couple, adding that both Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation will remain.
The website relaunch also refers to their Montecito base as ‘The Office of Prince Harry and Meghan’.
The couple have been criticised for even using their royal connections on their website at all.
According to The Sun, royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said: “They have every right to use the coat of arms, but this involves using loopholes of effectively bringing back SussexRoyal and exploit their royal status.
“They have caused the family tremendous amounts of damage.”
He added: “The only way they made money was by using their royal links on their Netflix docuseries and Harry’s book Spare.
“Since Charles was diagnosed with cancer, they cannot attack the Royal Family. But if this is the best they can do, who’s giving them advice? It’s rather boring. It’s quite puzzling.”
