Markle seemingly broke her silence about the controversial website, which many felt was a major rebrand. She released a statement praising Article, the agency behind the new website, her defunct lifestyle blog The Tig and the Archewell website.
"There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design as well as to the user experience," she said, per GB News. "They're not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They're a very special company. Plus they're Canadian, so I'm a fan."

The Sussexes seemingly clapped back at the report.
"We've heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's rep said in a statement to The Mirror. "They're still here.

Meanwhile, American journalist Megyn Kelly reacted to the recent headlines regarding the Sussexes. She claimed that Prince William's younger brother was afraid to fade out as an irrelevant royal.
"Harry's biggest fear is that he's about to become irrelevant as soon as Prince George is 18. He's got a limited window to be relevant," Kelly claimed.

"He's not worried about [the] press, he's worried about fading out as an irrelevant royal. He loves it, she loves it [the press], they just don't like the bad stuff. Well, guess what it's called being a public figure. Grow up and deal with it."
