BREAKING NEWS: The Reset Harry and Meghan Always Wanted - To Be Royals

After four years of floundering, Harry and Meghan ditch Archewell for Sussex(Royal).com

Well, what do we have here.

Hello Dear Readers,

This will be a quick one because what else is there to say. Amid leaks to the press about moving on and not engaging activity that would agitate his family, Harry and Meghan have dropped bomb with Sussex.com.

Harry and Meghan are leaning into the Royal Brand.

Archewell as the umbrella organization is done. Kaput. Unsurprising as Archewell was not what they wanted, it was a consolation prize. They wanted SussexRoyal.com, which the late Queen Elizabeth put a stop to as she didn’t want them monetizing the royal connection.

And what do Harry and Meghan do less than a year and a half after she dies? They took away the Royal but added their Royal Crest. Because Dear Readers, royalty sells. Harry and Meghan are the biggest supporters and fans of the monarchy out there because they know that without it, they are no better than Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe.

They were stopped from using their royal crest by the late Queen for all of their philanthropic and enterprise efforts. They are essentially thumbing their noses at King Charles and daring him to tell them to take it down. And let’s be honest, he likely won’t lest Meghan end up on Oprah’s couch saying Charles didn’t like the color theme of the website. This reminds me very much of how their children’s titles were announced. The news was released by Harry and Meghan who played a game of “Who’s Going to Blink First?” with the Palace. How will the Palace respond? I don’t know. But this is so shameless. So much for that rapprochement.

They weren’t given their half in, half out “collaboration” with the late Queen, so what’s the next best thing? Remind everyone of why they’re famous in the first place: Their Titles and the royal perks that come along with it, like a Royal Crest.

The mistake Harry and Meghan are making? Royal Coat of Arms or not, the Archewell Productions remains empty as ever and it looks like Archewell Audio is no more:

And the Archewell Foundation relies on the work of other foundations to tout its work.

The “impact report” isn’t things Archewell did. Imagine you donate 10 cans of food to food bank. And for that year, the food bank feeds over 10,000 people. Would you be in the right if, on your resume for a job as a community organizer, you state that you “fed 10,000 people”? That’s what Archewell does. And it’s not the way to do philanthropy.

The website looks slick. But as most things we’ve seen in the past four years, it’s empty. They are so concerned with how things look, they forget about the work needed to make things happen. What’s the point of an “office” if you can’t keep staff? What’s the point of a foundation if your fundraising fell over $11 million dollars?

At least now they’ve shown us who they are and aren’t. They can’t be profitable just being Harry and Meghan. They are Royals. They are titled. They have official coats of arms gritted to them by a Queen. This is Sussex.com from the Office of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. [Insert Royal Seal]. What a wonderful set up for their Invictus trip this week.

The Royal connection is all they have and what’ll be prioritized. This’ll be such a boon for the press and detractors. But if there was ever a time to make a royal steal, doing it when the King is less active and ailing is perhaps the most advantageous. And, quite frankly, the ugliest. This push to align themselves with their royal titles signifies their Hollywood failure and inability to succeed in their numerous business ventures. So they are falling back on the only thing they know how to do and what can make them any money: trading off their royal titles.
