The royal family has removed Prince Harry's statement about his affair with Meghan Markle from the official website

Prince Harry's statement about his romance with Meghan Markle, which was published in 2016, has been removed from the royal family's official website. The royal's statement said that his beloved was suffering from negativity amid rumors of their affair.

The statement was the official confirmation of the relationship between the future spouses. It was reported by People.

This information is currently not available on the palace's website. According to Newsweek, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine website was able to access the link on December 3, 2023, but the statement was removed on December 10. This indicates that the appeal was removed during this period.

Harry's spokesman said in a statement at the time: "His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subjected to bullying and harassment. Some of it has been very public – slander on the front page of a national newspaper, racist comments, outright sexism... Some were hidden from the public – the legal battles to keep the defamatory stories out of the papers; her mother having to push past photographers to get to her front door; the attempts by reporters and photographers to illegally enter her home and the police calls that followed; the substantial bribes offered by the newspapers to her ex-boyfriend."

In addition, it was written about how the prince was worried about the Duchess of Sussex's safety and was deeply disappointed that he could not protect her from the negative. "He knows that commentators will say that this is 'the price she has to pay' and that 'it's all part of the game'. He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – this is her and his life," the statement said.

In his memoir, The Spare, the Duke of Sussex wrote that the statement was "everywhere and made no difference – the onslaught continued." He added that the move also angered his father, now King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. "Because they never made statements about their wives when they were being persecuted," he added.

The removal of Prince Harry's statement is not the only change to the royal.uk website. In March 2024, the biographies of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were merged into a single profile. The top of the page reads: "As announced in January 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have resigned their membership in the Royal Family."
