Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s separation from the royal family has just become even more permanent.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s social media has been dropped from the royal family’s official pages.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior royals earlier this year to move to North America and become private citizens with their son Archie.

And now, in another sign of their split from The Firm, their official Instagram no longer appears alongside the social media accounts of the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the official royal family website.

Fan account Gert’s Royal has also pointed out that Prince Andrew, who stepped down from royal duties last year over his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has had the link to his social media account removed.

The Sun Online has contacted Kensington Palace for a statement.

Harry, 35, and Meghan, 39, have had issues with their Sussex Royal foundation which they launched on July 1 last year, after the couple split from the foundation they shared with Prince William and Kate Middleton. The Queen told them they couldn’t use the word “Royal” in their branding after they quit the royal frontline.

But it seems they may have had trouble deciding on a new name for the foundation.

Documents giving notice of a change of name of Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were first filed last Wednesday – but then withdrawn just nine minutes later.

Then today, paperwork was again submitted to change the charity name to MWX Foundation.

Speculation around what the initials could stand for began last week – with guesses including the Markle Windsor Foundation or possibly the Mountbatten Windsor Foundation.

The Change of Name Notice and a copy of the formal company resolution drawn up on July 1 to change the name appeared on the Companies House website last week.

Even though the full details of the paperwork are not yet visible on the website, the submission of the resolution means that the Sussex Royal name has now been erased.
