Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still featured on the official royal website, despite all no longer being working members of the Firm. Andrew, 65, was forced to step down as a working royal in 2019 after his bombshell interview with the BBC following allegations surrounding his association with the late convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
The Duke of York claimed he had “no recollection of ever meeting” accuser Virginia Giuffre, who took her own life earlier this year. Virginia alleged that she was forced to have sex with the royal three times between 1999 and 2002 in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein when she was 17 years old. Despite repeatedly denying all accusations made against him, an out-of-court settlement for an undisclosed amount was reached with Virginia in early 2022.
Prince Andrew’s page on the official royal website states: “On 13 January 2022, Buckingham Palace announced that, with Queen Elizabeth II’s approval and agreement, The Duke of York’s military affiliations and Royal patronages would be returned to Her late Majesty, and The Duke would not return to public duties.
“Prior to stepping back from public life, the Duke of York undertook a wide range of public work, with a strong economic and business focus”.Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who tied the knot in 2018, still have a joint page on the official website. The couple stepped back from royal duties in early 2020,
Since stepping down as working royals, the couple have been particularly vocal about their time within the Firm and have made several claims about certain members of the Royal Family – such as claiming that one royal member commented on their then-unborn son’s skin colour prior to his birth in 2019.

The website, which features a picture of the couple from 2018, states: “As announced in January 2020, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped back as working members of The Royal Family.
“The couple married in St George’s Chapel, Windsor on 19 May 2018 and have two children: Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex.”
The couple now reside in California with their children, six-year-old Prince Archie and four-year-old Princess Lilibet.
