Not more than a day goes by without the Duke and Duchess of Sussex becoming the focus of the media, and especially in recent weeks. On February 5, after Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III suffers from “a type of cancer” of which not many details have been given, his son Enrique undertook a trip to London to meet for just half an hour with his father and return to Los Angeles in less than 24 hours, shortly after appearing by surprise at an awards ceremony in Las Vegas. If gasoline spending has already been fiercely criticized by the public sphere, its new website has further stirred the waters. They released it last Monday and, in it, they make use of their coat of arms as dukes, something that has not gone unnoticed by many, as they decided to stop being active members of the British royal family in 2020. Given the stir that has arisen, they also Because there is no mention of the Windsors in their biographies, two days later Meghan Markle released a statement, just before taking a flight to Canada for an event related to the Invictus Games. A public statement that is unusual for her, and in which she vigorously defends her new platform and its creators: “There is a reason why I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and thoughtful approach to both design and user experience.”
With this new website, Harry of England and Meghan Markle intend to “shape their future through business and philanthropy.” It is controlled by “the office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex” and is a “one-stop shop” for all their activities, as they define it. When you enter your old website (sussexroyal.com) appears: “This site was established in 2020 and sets out the workflows of Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex ahead of their move to the United States. Click here to learn more about the royal couple and their philanthropic efforts.” A message that redirects to your new virtual space (sussex.com), which has links to their organizations: Archwell (the philanthropic one) and Archwell Productions (their business company). Therefore, they will use this space to share their chores and official updates, keeping their followers informed — although they continue to resist reactivating their Instagram account.

That is, the dukes “come dangerously close to using their royal status for royal gain,” which would represent a great challenge for the British crown's communications office.
A few hours after the launch, the one who made headlines was the Duchess of Sussex. Meghan Markle will debut a new podcast with the platform Lemonade, whose goal is to “make life less stinky” with programs about sex, psychology, and LGTBI+ issues. The former American actress has confessed that she feels “excited” to do this new series of audiovisual episodes. “Being able to support a company founded by women with a portfolio of podcast thought-provoking and highly entertaining is a fantastic way to start 2024. Our plan to relaunch Archetypes so that more people can access it, and to launch a new podcast dynamic, it is underway”, shared on his website.

The photograph has been captured and spread by her friend Misan Harriman.
In 2020, Enrique and Meghan signed, through their company Archwell Audio, a $24 million contract with Spotify for content creation. They released the audio series in mid-2022, after it was reported stagnant, and ended the collaboration with the platform in mid-2023. Archewell, which produced 12 episodes and was one of the most notable after its premiere, was a program in which Markle had conversations with prominent women from different fields, with guests such as the pop diva Mariah Carey, the tennis star Serena Williams or the heiress and businesswoman Paris Hilton.
