Harry and Meghan have been moved to the bottom of the royal family’s website alongside disgraced Prince Andrew.

Links leading readers to pages devoted to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had previously been posted halfway down the page – below senior royals and above underage members of the family.

But after the webpage was updated following the Queen’s death earlier this month, Harry and Meghan have now been moved down among the likes of Princess Alexandra and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Prince Michael of Kent and his wife Marie-Christine, neither of whom are royals, have been completely removed from the page, The Telegraph reports.

It comes at a time when King Charles is reportedly planning a “downsized” monarchy during his reign, believing that the public won’t pay for an ever-expanding royal family.

Meanwhile, Princess Alexandra, the Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloucester, the Queen’s cousins, all remain on the page as they are still working members.

But it remains to be seen whether this fragile truce will hold up, especially with Harry’s memoir due out later this year.

The Sussexes stayed at Frogmore Cottage in Windsor on the night of Monday’s funeral, but it was reported that they would return to California as soon as possible to be with Archie, three, and Lilibet, one, after two weeks away.
