Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have quietly been hidden from the Royal Family website in a secret snub against the couple.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals in 2020, but have only just been hidden on the Royal Family website, four years later.
Meghan, 42, and Harry, 39, are no longer listed as working members of the Royal Family on their website.
However, the duke and duchess have been moved and combined into a separate section of the website under royal.uk/sussex.
The couple were formerly listed under the tab of Members of The Royal Family, however, they have since been removed.
Prince Harry and Meghan used to be slotted between Princess Alexandra and Prince Andrew.
Prince Andrew, on the other hand, is still listed on the website as a member of the Royal Family, despite the Duke of York stepping down from royal duties in 2019.
On January 8, 2020, Harry and Meghan took to their former Instagram profile, Sussex Royal, to announce their intentions of stepping back as senior royals.
They wrote: “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
“It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
“We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.

“This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
“We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties.
“Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.”
Prince Harry and Meghan subsequently settled in California in the summer of 2020.

These included the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and her State Funeral.
