00:00 Prince Harry's His Royal Highness title was removed from his profile page on the royal

00:07 family's website more than three years after he and his wife Meghan Markle stepped down

00:13 from their roles as working royals.

00:16 As part of the agreement made between the couple and the royal family in January 2020,

00:21 Harry, who is 38 years old, and Markle, who is 41 years old, would no longer use their

00:27 HRH titles after stepping back from their official positions.

00:32 HRH titles, which refers to his/her Royal Highness, are spoken and written in front

00:39 of the names of princes and princesses, as well as their spouses.

00:44 Two references from Harry were changed from HRH to his title of the Duke of Sussex or

00:50 the Duke, Tuesday following a report on the oversight that was published by the British

00:55 outlet Express last Friday.

00:57 The outlet reported that the royal family's website had not been updated completely following

01:03 the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September and the coronation of King Charles III in

01:10 May.

01:11 According to the outlet, Charles and his wife Queen Camilla were referred to by their former

01:16 titles of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, while Prince William and his

01:21 wife Kate Middleton were designated the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

01:26 William and Middleton still retain those titles, which were given to them by Queen Elizabeth

01:31 on their wedding day in 2011, but they were also named as the Prince and Princess of Wales

01:37 by Charles following his accession to the throne.

01:41 The outlet also noted instances in which Elizabeth was still referred to as the reigning monarch

01:46 instead of Charles, as well as other errors.

01:50 As of Tuesday, all the outdated references on the website that were pointed out by the

01:56 outlet had been corrected.

01:58 In a statement to Express, the palace said, "The Royal Family website contains over 5,000

02:03 pages of information about the life and work of the Royal Family.

02:08 Following the death of a late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, content has been revisited and

02:14 updated periodically.

02:16 Some content may be out of date until this process is complete."

02:20 Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit their royal duties in January 2020, shortly

02:26 after their decision, but Kingdom Palace announced that the Sussex would no longer use their

02:32 HRH titles, that is, his and her Royal Highness.

02:36 The palace in an official statement said, "The Sussex will not use their HRH titles

02:42 as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."
