Prince Harry's "His Royal Highness" title has been discreetly removed from the royal family website, aligning with the "Megxit" agreement allowing the Duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, to keep their HRH titles while inactive as senior royals. The royal family's website's focus has also shifted to other royals, placing Harry and Meghan's profiles lower.

Meanwhile, Netflix recently secured film rights to the novel "Meet Me At The Lake" for adaptation under Archewell Productions, marking Harry and Meghan's first major Hollywood move since they lost their Spotify deal.

Prince Harry's HRH Title Removed From Website

Prince Harry's "His Royal Highness" title has been removed from the Royal Family's website. Following the 2020 "Megxit" agreement, the Palace permitted Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, to retain their HRH titles, which they couldn't actively use as senior royals.

In a seeming oversight, certain parts of the website still referred to Harry as HRH for three years. On the other hand, Meghan's HRH title was removed from her official royal biography three years ago, though it persisted in some sections of the website, notably in a 2019 speech quote.

Recent updates, however, have rectified this and eliminated any HRH references. Other errors were also corrected, including one that mistakenly labeled 38-year-old Prince Harry as five-year-old Prince Louis.

In an announcement dated January 18, 2020, Buckingham Palace declared that the Sussexes would no longer utilize their HRH titles due to their departure from royal duties.

The section on the royal website that outlines the Royal Family's background now refers to Meghan as 'she' or the 'Duchess,' rather than 'Her Royal Highness.' Meghan's education, career, and royal engagements have been shifted from her 'about' page to a dedicated biography section.

Additionally, details about her philanthropic efforts have also been relocated to the 'Charitable Work' segment. Per Express, the website's layout now prioritizes other royals on the homepage, with Harry and Meghan's profile pages moved down. However, the couple continues to hold the Sussex Dukedom and publicly uses the titles Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

A spokesperson from Buckingham Palace noted that the website had been periodically updated after Queen Elizabeth II's passing, and outdated information has been rectified. "Following the death of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, content has been revisited and updated periodically. Some content may be out of date until this process is complete," the spokesperson explained, per Daily Mail.

On Tuesday, Harry sported a smile as he walked through Tokyo's Haneda Airport, mingling with fellow travelers. The Duke of Sussex was dressed in a black shirt and a cap featuring the Archewell Foundation logo he co-runs with Meghan, who wasn't present.

A reporter's voice was heard off-camera, asking about his return to Japan after four years. "How do you like to be in Japan for the first time in four years?" the reporter asked. Harry responded warmly, "Good to see you again."

A video aired on Japanese TV showcased Harry's arrival at the terminal alongside his close friend, Argentine polo player Nacho Figueras. Their agenda includes attending the Sentebale Polo Cup match in Singapore this weekend, an event Harry aims to use for fundraising to support young people affected by HIV/AIDS.

Prince Harry's visit to Japan coincides with the recent news that Netflix executives have secured the film rights to a romantic novel under Harry and Meghan's $100 million deal.

The novel by Carley Fortune, titled "Meet Me At The Lake," resonates with their personal narrative, featuring themes like loss and love.

Initial reports indicated that the couple personally purchased the project for $3.8 million, but insiders revealed to Page Six that Netflix acquired the rights for adaptation under the royal couple's Archewell Productions.

The novel aligns with Duke and Duchess' affinity for romantic stories, as seen in their bombshell 2022 Netflix documentary "Harry & Meghan." Additionally, the couple is said to be reorganizing their team after producer Ben Browning departs from Archewell Productions. Archewell's senior vice president of scripted television, Nishika Kumble, has also reportedly departed after less than two years.

This new deal will mark a significant Hollywood move for Harry and Meghan as they seek to strengthen their brand, especially after losing their $20 million deal with Spotify.
