The name change to Sussex comes after they moved away from the title in 2020, when their “Sussex Royal” label became a topic of debate at Buckingham Palace. Their departure from the royal family meant that the couple could use their titles of Duke and Duchess, but not HRH.

Archewell was introduced after they stepped away from their royal duties, with a name inspired by their son Archie, combining “arche”, the Greek word meaning “source of action” and “well”, “an abundant source or supply” ; a place we are going to go deeper into.”

The news channel says the couple's recent events focus more on personal outings in contrast to the work posted on their Archewell site.

It includes Harry's recent trip to Las Vegas to present the NFL Man of the Year honor to Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward.

His appearance came hours after he returned from the United Kingdom on a fleeting visit to see his father, King Charles, following his cancer diagnosis.

He made the visit without Meghan and their children less than 24 hours after the announcement about the King's health was made public to the media. However, there was no meeting with his brother, the Prince of Wales, and Harry spent about 45 minutes at Clarence House seeing his father.

The King's slimmed-down monarchy is under pressure not seen before during his reign: he has postponed all public duties due to the diagnosis and the Princess of Wales is out of action for the foreseeable future following abdominal surgery.
