Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's New Website Has a Tie to Her Former Lifestyle Blog, The Tig

The Duchess of Sussex shared why she's been working with the same digital agency "for a decade"

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Sussex.com may be new, but the Duchess of Sussex has been working with the company behind the website for some time.

The couple's new website, as well as the online presence for their Archewell Foundation and Archewell Production, was designed by the Canadian digital agency Article. Meghan, 42, has a long history with the company, which was also behind her now-defunct lifestyle blog, The Tig.

"There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design as well as to the user experience," Meghan said in a review on Article's website. "They’re not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They’re a very special company. Plus they’re Canadian, so I'm a fan."

Article also lists the NBA, Diane Von Furstenberg, Lauryn Hill and Prince Harry's environmental tourism initiative Travalyst as clients.

Before meeting Prince Harry, Meghan created her lifestyle blog The Tig in 2014 as a place to share various aspects of her life and the things that inspire her — in particular, food and travel. The name is inspired by Tignanello wine, which she told Tory Daily is synonymous with “getting it.”

In 2017, Meghan announced that she was shutting down her “little engine that could” as her relationship with Prince Harry developed.

“After close to three beautiful years on this adventure with you, it’s time to say goodbye to The Tig,” she wrote at the time. “What began as a passion project (my little engine that could) evolved into an amazing community of inspiration, support, fun and frivolity. You’ve made my days brighter and filled this experience with so much joy. Keep finding those Tig moments of discovery, keep laughing and taking risks, and keep being ‘the change you wish to see in the world.’ Above all, don’t ever forget your worth – as I’ve told you time and time again: you, my sweet friend, you are enough. Thank you for everything.”

She signed the note with an “xx” to her supporters.

After Meghan and Prince Harry got engaged, she also shut down her social media profiles, including her Instagram page with 3 million followers.

"It was a big adjustment — a huge adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life," Meghan said in a 2022 interview with New York magazine's The Cut.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex quietly launched Sussex.com on Monday, providing a nucleus for information on the couple's charitable work through the Archewell Foundation, creations through Archewell Productions and other appearances. The homepage is filled with nods to the couple's time as working members of the royal family before they stepped back from those roles in 2020 and relocated to Meghan's home state of California.

Over a photo of Harry, 39, and Meghan at the 2023 Invictus Games closing ceremony in September is text reading, "The office of Prince Harry & Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex," under Meghan's coat of arms. Shortly after the pair's May 2018 wedding, the palace revealed Meghan's new coat of arms.

In addition to the coat of arms and their royal titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, which were bestowed by Queen Elizabeth on their wedding day, Harry and Meghan's new website also features their royal joint cypher.

The couple's former website, SussexRoyal.com, now redirects to the new address. A pop-up message on the webpage reads: "This site was established in 2020 and sets out the work streams of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex prior to their move to the United States.
