Can Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Make Their Relaunch Work?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to public view was always going to be dramatic—if there is one thing their supporters and detractors can agree on, it is their innate talent to cause a stir. On Thursday, during their second day attending the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025’s One Year to Go celebrations, Harry reportedly hit 99 km/h on a skeleton sled on one of the world’s fastest bobsled tracks.
Their photogenic trip to Canada in support of the Games that are one of Harry’s proudest achievements—in chic, snuggly-looking cold-weather clothing—came as they launched a new website, sussex.com, which has already been criticized as “self-absorbed” and “aloof” by branding experts, while royal insiders have mocked the couple’s ambitions to be seen as trying to “save the world.”
Whatever, the website went live on Monday, kicking off the most important week for Brand Sussex since they couple left the royal family. The couple also announced that their children, who will henceforth be known as Archie and Lilibet Sussex, dropping their natal surname, Mountbatten-Windsor, which appears on their birth certificates.
