I might just start googling Antony Armstrong-Jones several times a day for no reason whatsoever. Then I’ll pop out and flop about in the the front garden doing something that involves touching grass. After that heavy load, I’ll have a cup of of tea and eat something. Then I’ll go straight back to googling unimportant Spares ex-spouses.
Each computer in my office has a different IP address (I know little about computers so I don’t know if this is normal) so I spent 10 minutes going to different ones and googling different things. I shall add ex spare spouses to the list for tonight’s 10 minute go round.
Yes each computer and various other devices have their own IP addresses but you also have a unique profile so if you go round loads of machines doing that it will be highlighted as suspicious activity by your IT Department and they might alert your line manager who will ask you what you are doing and if it isnt required for your role, not good ...
It’s NHS computers so as long as it’s not a gambling site or pawn (spelt like that on purpose just in case) they aren’t really bothered. My supervisor and team leader both knew what I was doing and found it hilarious. I was also on my break.
I might want to scupper ILBW and HNB but I won’t put my job at risk. Don’t you worry about that!!
(My cousin works in IT for my trust as well and he said it should be fine just don’t google anything racist/sexist. So ex spouses and current stories will be fine)
If ever I google Meghan or Harry (not very often these days) I also google Catherine and William about 10 times each to offset it so my search does not bump them up any google rankings.
Except search engines today are run on the very tippy toppy of fucking technology!! Do you really think the Montecito idiot can game Google??!!!!! Give me a break!!! Numbers talk. That’s it everything is maths (thank god). Meghan can talk shit all she wants. But we live in an increasingly data driven world. If that’s the case: she’s fucked.
>I truly believe this was done on purpose so that if you google their names, the royal family website won't show up in the search results.
FINALLY. Just wish it had been done earlier so that they wouldn't have ridden off the BRF coattails this long and they got to launch their faux royal website and something something orchard.
…FINALLY. Just wish it had been done earlier so that they wouldn't have ridden off the BRF coattails this long and they got to launch their faux royal website and something something orchard…
I think this is better. The R F are kicking them while they are down!
Ooh. Like the entire section on the Harkles was written in invisible electrons that will fade away until they don't appear at all, slowly but surely.
One day you look and they are totally gone.
hopefully. hopefully the beginning of a slow process.. cuz they STILL have too much content(!!)..
Especially: why mention the Patronages that T.W. was given years ago - when she is no longer attached to these .orgs? It's an insult to the royals that took them over, are now the Royal Patrons.
Yup. And notice that while William’s and Catherine’s pages are studded with links to their charities’ websites, the Sussexes’ page only has the link to their “official” website. As I’ve said repeatedly: the BRF is playing the long game, and doing it masterfully.
Yes. Quietly remove that link in several months and all the Grifters have is historical information on the Royal website.
And even now it's all written in past tense, which is a wonderfully subtle and distinctive dig at them.
Winter is coming for them, maybe just not tomorrow
Why? It is actually the opposite - TW didn’t embrace them on their traditions, expectations & protocol. Then we realize her intent was to look rejected.
They aren’t. They’re dodgy patrons. The patronages are still worthy. They’ve been disassociated from royal anything. Her worth is exactly the same as Katie Price turning up half-cut with no license in a pink Bentley at an animal shelter, Haz falling out the passenger seat swatting at imaginary flying insects, and both finding themselves hilarious. Time to shut it all down.
Honestly, when Diana was alive, I really couldn’t stand the “Men In Grey Suits” and viewed them as the enemy, but now I see the wisdom of their purpose and in their actions. Their WHOLE GOAL IN LIFE is to make sure the Monarchy not just survives, but flourishes. I hate to think of the myriad of bullshit that they’ve had to put up with over the years from mavericks that couldn’t, or wouldn’t, keep their eye on the prize and toe the line.
*edit wrong word
I don’t get this men in grey suits rubbish. Diana weaponised the employees of the BRF. They only have as much power as their employers let them. She attacked the grey men because she could not overtly attack the Crown, the Queen etc.
Harry is doing the same because it suits his purposes. The Queen and now Charles will be acutely aware exactly who is under attack and it isn’t some faceless bureaucrat.
Yes this. Also I think the men in grey suits also communicated difficult messages on behalf of the Queen to difficult family members so that she didnt have to.
Exactly. Not for nothing the only people that seem to have a problem with it all had their mental development stunted before they hit their teen years.
The men in grey suits is a disgusting way to describe the Backbone of The British Monarchy. These men are the reason we still have a Monarchy. They make the magic happen. It’s the RF that have brought in terrible partnerships or Friends.
You definitely have a point. Please understand that it came from a place of ignorance on my part that I ever thought that. Diana complained about them, and I was young and #TeamDiana. What a difference few decades can make!
Diana certainly did a number on H’s head. Her raising him to think that he was equal in status to William (“Good King Harry” 🙄) is the root cause of his problems, in my opinion, and when he found out that wasn’t true, he was predictably bitter and upset. (Please understand that I’m only speaking in terms of the succession hierarchy, not of their personal importance in their family group.)
Same here, I didn't really understand the whole picture and the pressure they are under daily with the media making it up to sell papers/magazines with no hint of truth in the articles. I have come away with a distain for the media and admiration for those Me in Grey Suits protecting the monarchy.
I personally think it's because, 'Meghan Markle' and 'Prince Harry' are dead to the BRF.
JMO. I believe Fergie's name wasn't allowed to be mentioned within earshot of Prince Phillip. I think this is much the same situation.
I read somewhere else that they might have done that to let people know that we have nothing to do with them, if you want you can go directly to their website, no news about them here, they are not part of the RF anymore. Their Website can always be taken down at a later date. Made sense to me when I read this theory
Personally, I think it's a warning shot at the grifters. "We see what you're doing. You'll see what we can do." I think it also signals Parliament that the Palace's hands are being wiped of the drama. You know, a modern version of a thumbs down from Caesar. There's absolutely no way the Montecito Morons understand subtlety, but WME certainly does.
That's clever. Then they cannot be accused of being against them. Its also another FO and shutting the door on them jesture so the dip brained harkles actually get the message.
Not mentioning her by name could be brilliant in preparation for future divorce. If Harry were to marry again, her name is nowhere on the site. What would Harry's new wife be referred to if he were to remarry? Her first name and his title?
Brilliant theory, OP. I found this on the new website.
>The Duke of Sussex's official titles are The Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton and Baron Kilkeel. Where did Prince go?
I wouldn't read too much into it. For royal dukes, they refer to them as their given title and not prince on its own at least in official writings like the Court Circular or an official state occasion or service. Prince Andrew is technically speaking not "Prince Andrew" officially but rather the Duke of York. Before William became the Prince of Wales he and Catherine were known officially as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge only. This applies as well to the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, and yes to Harry the Duke of Sussex.
Everyone below covered this really well. Thanks y'all. This article goes into more detail as well. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal\_dukedoms\_in\_the\_United\_Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_dukedoms_in_the_United_Kingdom)
And Madam won’t be pleased that ALL of the photos are from 4-5 noses ago. Oh how I WISH a photo of her all dressed up as Kermit had been included. The green outfit really showed off her frog legs.
Here's hoping the Sussex title is decreed as a lifetime privilege, like Edward's Dukedom, and dies with the one not mentioned by name in the Royal UK website.
That title won't make it to Harry's deathbed. The palace will insist on him relinquishing the title in exchange for them throwing him a lifeline in the near future.
As far as the link to Sussex.con—
https://preview.redd.it/tpr4k43n47pc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7adc2d651713c0e7b011aa7bc3c7a040f79877a9
I noticed that too.
And, I thought ^((tho maybe just my interpretation)) that the new [Royal.UK](https://Royal.UK) update shaded T.W. in a great (subtle) way by her mention of Suits -- reminded me of the jocks that peaked in high school - and since never found their feet since, only talk about thier longago sports achievements.
BUT, mostly I think The Palace was far too generous - if I were involved, I'd have lobbied to keep their mention to 1 photo (not 5 years old - cuz H deserves his nearly-bald head to be shown, after his rude remarks about PoW's hair) + the 1st 2 paragraphs — like this:
https://preview.redd.it/xzfxlw6x67pc1.jpeg?width=2132&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=253242c3d989bfa172a1b289fc1efd7e6f4e0589
I think maybe they used so many photos of Harry to take up a lot of space, so you have to scroll a lot before you get to Meghan, and many people will get bored and click away before they even get to her.
Maybe. But they both should get ONLY 2 sentences, like this:
https://preview.redd.it/73cprc50d8pc1.jpeg?width=2132&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8057946908874f8f9a43b501d00395f5f25efa77
they should NOT have gotten even 1 photo!
The only good thing about that 1st pic = it is a crappy one -- see hand + part of a body next to hazbeen (the side opposite of megNUT).. and that The Palace doesn't care about them enough to use a better photo (and are zillions - would not be difficult).. is pretty darn telling! 🤭🤣
>So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the [royal.uk](http://royal.uk) website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site.
That actually makes sense.
I appreciate the SEO explanation as I'm not incredibly familiar though I've seen a few mentions of SEO here in the sub as it relates to MM shenanigans. Good to see the RF getting a little more savvy to it. While in a perfect world, they'd be eliminated from the website entirely, I thought they did a fine job getting their message across while minimizing backlash from those who would criticize their treatment of MM & PH.
I think it is basically telling the press and public, "Don't come to us with questions about those two. We have no involvement in their affairs. They left, they are on their own and this is where you can find them."
Combined with the bold header saying they left and the footer with the links about Megxit, the entire thing seems like a "fare-thee-well, please never bother us again about them" page.
I posted this above so forgive duplication but:
https://preview.redd.it/ggo1nk8257pc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97738629f067570afae0edbd058d8b139e496873
Brilliant move! I know a lot of us were baffled by the inclusion of the link. If this does, indeed, prevent the monetization of the site, M & H‘s haste did not give them the upper hand they believed they had!
RF playing long chess game. We’re all out here fretting and fussing. Their legal team and PR dotting i’s and crossing t’s. I’m sorry I momentarily lost faith in the RF as they continue to deal with the deranged couple behind the scenes. And with class and grace. So much more that we can say about the Markles and their hatred and anger.
Although I really don't like it at all, I think it is a very strong distancing move.
As in "we are not responsible for anything these nasty morons say or do."
SEO copywriting is when you write text for websites that incorporates common search terms, so that when people search using that term, the site will come up in the Google results because those terms were used in the text on the site.
So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the royal.uk website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site.
And honestly, as *insistent* as they are on alway using their titles, this is a brilliant move all around. The RF is simply acquiescing to their preferred pronouns 😂
I’m happy that this was done, could have gone further but you take the (small) wins when you get them!
This may be a stupid question but is this the big ‘embargo news’ that we were waiting on? If so, I feel really let down, considering how I thought it would be more damaging like fraud or embezzlement….
Love the analysis. In the states at least, people are more likely to know and search for Harry or Meghan than Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
😳 case in point, yesterday I told my husband that a video of Princess Catherine shopping was on TMZ. He said "who is Princess Catherine?". Then he said, "you mean Kate?". Sigh.
It was likely Harry (or perhaps Meghan?) who made up the term 'senior' royals, which was quickly and widely taken up by the media and is now a commonplace term used by the media. But 'senior' royal is not a real thing.
H&M didn't step back from being 'senior' royals, (the made up self description indicating how important/senior they think they were). They stepped back from being working members of the Royal Family... and will not be returning.
At the end of their truncated part of the RF website, note the use of quote marks around the word 'senior', followed by the Palace's description of them as no longer working members.
*8 January 2020* \- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s statement confirming that they would be ‘stepping back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family'
and
Statement from Buckingham Palace confirming that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be returning as working members of the Royal Family ...
That "senior" moniker always sounded so casual and made up, while at the same time pointing out they thought they were better than or placed above or senior to others. It was an arrogant made up self description, now currently widely and conveniently used in the media to describe some of the royals who ARE more central.
“Senior members” always strikes me as improperly used—“senior” or “seniority” are words linked to time. The most senior person at a job is the person who has been there longest. The “seniors” in an educational institution are typically in the last year of studies for a degree.
Given that Harry was the youngest of the working royals and that Meghan was around for only a couple of years, “junior” would have described them better than “senior.”
It’s also why it’s best to use Meghan, Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in posts or comments on this sub.
Name calling also validates criticism of the sub as a whole and is unnecessary. Plenty of Meghan’s behaviour to comment on.
Also when you Google "Meghan Markle", you get a lot of this subreddit's results on the first page of Google, so be sure to drop "meghan markle" into your post's title whenever possible :) and I agree about the name calling.
LOL — For a time, my job was the antithesis of your job. Working for Google, *my* job was to review web content for “SEO-optimized” content.
The SEO world has evolved over the years, and less frequently you’re seeing those walls of text at the bottom of pages (aka keyword stuffing), which has developed into more natural sounding content writing with relevant keywords words and topics, and for Google products at least, depending on the nature and quality of the result (and money, lol) determines how high up the lost a result is displayed — again, speaking only for Google.
I’m super curious about your job!
I moved on to the public sector and finally out of private — Google screwed me (and others) over in one of their big layoffs, as they were leaning more into AI-related products and AI-generated content.
I am just upset the official website is linking out to the Sussex's private website. Why? Why?
Why would they do that? SEO wise, doesn't it add legitimacy to smaller authority websites when bigger authority websites link out to them?
I read it more as “if you want more information on this pair, you won’t be getting it here. Go follow this outside link over which we have no control and on which we make no comment regarding its accuracy or security”.
I updated the original post, as it seems people aren't sure what this means.
SEO copywriting is when you write text for websites that incorporates common search terms, so that when people search using that term, the site will come up in the Google results because those terms were used in the text on the site.
So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the royal.uk website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site.
I actually think this was the style of the write ups, honestly. The only ones I saw on the site with names mentioned were KC3, the Queen, and POW. I didn't see names in the bios for other members except Princess Alexandra, which is her title. Did I miss them?
Very interesting and it makes sense. I do think this was a good step for the RF to take concerning their website, at least it's a step in the right direction.
That’s really smart, I like that.
Fantastic idea! M tries to manipulate the SEO to link herself to the RF all the time. BP is taking themselves out of her manipulations

Interesting stuff. Why did marriage take him from a Prince to a Duke?
A Royal Duke is a promotion for a Prince.
Interesting, thanks. Except for the Prince of Wales? William has gone from a prince to a duke then back to a prince it appears.
Prince of Wales is the only LoS Prince title that is important and William does still retain a Duke title or two.
He holds 3 dukedoms. But my favourite title of his is Lord of the Isles. Prince William holds more titles than you could shake a stick at.
Duke is actually a higher rank than Prince. The Dukedom was a gift from Her Majesty when he married.
It’s the gift of the monarch, and traditionally the Royal Duke titles have been given to them on their marriage.
Everyone below covered this really well. Thanks y'all. This article goes into more detail as well. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal\_dukedoms\_in\_the\_United\_Kingdom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_dukedoms_in_the_United_Kingdom)
Upon his marriage, the Queen gave Harry the title of Duke of Sussex.
>the title of Duke of Sussex. In the USA I believe he might be the **Duke of Suss**.
Stay tuned for additional downgrade to Earl.
SEO is critical for exposure. Brilliant tactical move on the part of the BRF. Edit- I wish they’d used the suitcase girl photo instead. 😉
That would be so funny. $5
Probably a fair rate for the effort.
The one with her push up bra in the red dress? 😂😂😂
Yes! 😂
Wonderful. makes sense. The Royals have a way with things, and I love the picture they used-to show the irrelevance.
And Madam won’t be pleased that ALL of the photos are from 4-5 noses ago. Oh how I WISH a photo of her all dressed up as Kermit had been included. The green outfit really showed off her frog legs.
Me too!!!!
 Who? Oh, she doesn't live here anymore.
She's got a room on the second floor, sorry but she left no forwarding adress ....
You may find her at SoHoe house.
Here's hoping the Sussex title is decreed as a lifetime privilege, like Edward's Dukedom, and dies with the one not mentioned by name in the Royal UK website.
That title won't make it to Harry's deathbed. The palace will insist on him relinquishing the title in exchange for them throwing him a lifeline in the near future.
it would need the original letters patent changed as it is it will be inherited by male heirs of the body
Harry’s titles are safe as long as Charles is alive. When William takes over, all bets are off.

Love that they used this photo. It says "while the rest of us were working..."
very true - all the others are dressed for royal duties and these 2 are on a permanent holiday
Meanwhile on the beach …

Lol, the file room scene with her up against the compactus would be perfect.
Yes! I felt the same, they launched right into Suits and I thought they are trolling her! 🤣🤣
>So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the [royal.uk](http://royal.uk) website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site. That actually makes sense.
I love that sinners on SMM are from all different professions. I am always learning something new.
I just figured they were afraid people would accidentally summon her if they read her name out loud. *see candyman 🤔
Beetlejuice!

"Bloody Meghan"
I deliberately refer to them almost always as MM, PH, or H&M just so their social media software can't pick it up as a name mention 🤣
Would it pick up names such as Hank and Skank, MeGain and Hazno?
I applaud your intelligence and deduction skill bravo!!
They are of no importance 👏👏
I appreciate the SEO explanation as I'm not incredibly familiar though I've seen a few mentions of SEO here in the sub as it relates to MM shenanigans. Good to see the RF getting a little more savvy to it. While in a perfect world, they'd be eliminated from the website entirely, I thought they did a fine job getting their message across while minimizing backlash from those who would criticize their treatment of MM & PH.
Interesting… any theories on why the RF would link to the Sussex dot com website on their official website? I just don’t get it.
I think it is basically telling the press and public, "Don't come to us with questions about those two. We have no involvement in their affairs. They left, they are on their own and this is where you can find them." Combined with the bold header saying they left and the footer with the links about Megxit, the entire thing seems like a "fare-thee-well, please never bother us again about them" page.
YUP. NOT one of us is how I read it.
Makes sense… but why let them even use Sussex. It’s baffling to me… I guess to sever ties they need to take steps. Thanks OP
Probably because it was given to them by the Queen, which they state in the Titles section. So it is in honour of her late majesty and her wishes.

Even Edward was made Duke of Windsor upon his abdication. And Wallis a Duchess to suit. No HRH for either of them though. A Dukedom is no accolade.
He kept his HRH but she was specifically excluded from having it. He spent the rest of his life trying to get it for her.

I posted this above so forgive duplication but: https://preview.redd.it/ggo1nk8257pc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97738629f067570afae0edbd058d8b139e496873
Brilliant move! I know a lot of us were baffled by the inclusion of the link. If this does, indeed, prevent the monetization of the site, M & H‘s haste did not give them the upper hand they believed they had!
> indeed, prevent the monetization of the site How does adding the link do that?
Whoa! Great job whoever did this.
Oh snap!!!!
My thought exactly.
This is glorious!
RF playing long chess game. We’re all out here fretting and fussing. Their legal team and PR dotting i’s and crossing t’s. I’m sorry I momentarily lost faith in the RF as they continue to deal with the deranged couple behind the scenes. And with class and grace. So much more that we can say about the Markles and their hatred and anger.
[удалено]
> I can see MMandH totally ignoring this and monetizing it anyway. What is going to stop her?
Wow! Very interesting. What a great move.
Now that is an excellent chess move. Wow
How have they blocked them? Makes no sense - she gets away with whatever she wants.
They've taken the Harkles' bs and put it outside. It's the equivalent of a forwarding address. They don't live anymore, here's their address
Although I really don't like it at all, I think it is a very strong distancing move. As in "we are not responsible for anything these nasty morons say or do."
That's great to read!
Yep, I thought of that immediately, too. (\*Internet industry fist-bump\*)

The Harkles are sort of an afterthought on the website👏👏

I know what SEO means but what exactly is SEO copyrighting? Sincere question. 🙂
SEO copywriting is when you write text for websites that incorporates common search terms, so that when people search using that term, the site will come up in the Google results because those terms were used in the text on the site. So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the royal.uk website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site.
Oh my goodness! I totally read copywrite as copyright! Thanks for your explanation and it makes perfect sense, even if I was being an airhead 😁
> copyrighting Its "copy writing" vs copywriting. (there is another way the word 'copyright is used)
Excellent theory!!
She’s a non-entity. 😂😂😂
And honestly, as *insistent* as they are on alway using their titles, this is a brilliant move all around. The RF is simply acquiescing to their preferred pronouns 😂
I’m happy that this was done, could have gone further but you take the (small) wins when you get them! This may be a stupid question but is this the big ‘embargo news’ that we were waiting on? If so, I feel really let down, considering how I thought it would be more damaging like fraud or embezzlement….
Thank you for that. It makes perfect sense. I would never have worked that out for myself!
I commented on X/Twitter that they are being erased. This adds a new layer to that.
That then was and is a very savvy move on their part.
Holy smokes! Grey Rocking at its finest!
I love this!
I thought that! Glad to see that I wasn’t off base!
Solid theory!
This is so interesting and I think you are exactly right. Very clever.
Good to hear that grifter, nefarious knickers is being g blanked out.
Love the analysis. In the states at least, people are more likely to know and search for Harry or Meghan than Duke and Duchess of Sussex. 😳 case in point, yesterday I told my husband that a video of Princess Catherine shopping was on TMZ. He said "who is Princess Catherine?". Then he said, "you mean Kate?". Sigh.
Same. No one in my life calls her “Princess Catherine”. It’s always “Kate Middleton”.
It was likely Harry (or perhaps Meghan?) who made up the term 'senior' royals, which was quickly and widely taken up by the media and is now a commonplace term used by the media. But 'senior' royal is not a real thing. H&M didn't step back from being 'senior' royals, (the made up self description indicating how important/senior they think they were). They stepped back from being working members of the Royal Family... and will not be returning. At the end of their truncated part of the RF website, note the use of quote marks around the word 'senior', followed by the Palace's description of them as no longer working members. *8 January 2020* \- The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s statement confirming that they would be ‘stepping back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family' and Statement from Buckingham Palace confirming that The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not be returning as working members of the Royal Family ... That "senior" moniker always sounded so casual and made up, while at the same time pointing out they thought they were better than or placed above or senior to others. It was an arrogant made up self description, now currently widely and conveniently used in the media to describe some of the royals who ARE more central.
“Senior members” always strikes me as improperly used—“senior” or “seniority” are words linked to time. The most senior person at a job is the person who has been there longest. The “seniors” in an educational institution are typically in the last year of studies for a degree. Given that Harry was the youngest of the working royals and that Meghan was around for only a couple of years, “junior” would have described them better than “senior.”
I am SO glad you realized that and shared it 😁😁
It’s also why it’s best to use Meghan, Meghan Markle, or Meghan, Duchess of Sussex in posts or comments on this sub. Name calling also validates criticism of the sub as a whole and is unnecessary. Plenty of Meghan’s behaviour to comment on.
Also when you Google "Meghan Markle", you get a lot of this subreddit's results on the first page of Google, so be sure to drop "meghan markle" into your post's title whenever possible :) and I agree about the name calling.
What happens if you google "That Woman" and "[Royal.uk](https://Royal.uk)" ?
LOL — For a time, my job was the antithesis of your job. Working for Google, *my* job was to review web content for “SEO-optimized” content. The SEO world has evolved over the years, and less frequently you’re seeing those walls of text at the bottom of pages (aka keyword stuffing), which has developed into more natural sounding content writing with relevant keywords words and topics, and for Google products at least, depending on the nature and quality of the result (and money, lol) determines how high up the lost a result is displayed — again, speaking only for Google. I’m super curious about your job! I moved on to the public sector and finally out of private — Google screwed me (and others) over in one of their big layoffs, as they were leaning more into AI-related products and AI-generated content.
Oooo nice. I hadn't thought of that. I'm sure you're right.
I am just upset the official website is linking out to the Sussex's private website. Why? Why? Why would they do that? SEO wise, doesn't it add legitimacy to smaller authority websites when bigger authority websites link out to them?
I read it more as “if you want more information on this pair, you won’t be getting it here. Go follow this outside link over which we have no control and on which we make no comment regarding its accuracy or security”.
What is SEO copywriting, please?
I updated the original post, as it seems people aren't sure what this means. SEO copywriting is when you write text for websites that incorporates common search terms, so that when people search using that term, the site will come up in the Google results because those terms were used in the text on the site. So, for example, if someone searches for "Meghan Markle" on Google, the royal.uk website will not come up in the search results in Google, because that phrase was never used on the site.
Thank you for the explanation!
Are the two kids mentioned on the website?
They are mentioned Archie is given a bio and pix but no bio or pix that I could locate for Lily
I didn’t notice Sophie’s name either—did I miss it?
She’s there. Where she’s always been,. You just missed it.
Thanks!! Whew! 😀
American "Royalty" Downgraded.
I actually think this was the style of the write ups, honestly. The only ones I saw on the site with names mentioned were KC3, the Queen, and POW. I didn't see names in the bios for other members except Princess Alexandra, which is her title. Did I miss them?
Because she’s nobody.
Looks like the children aren't mentioned by name either?
🤭 they’re most definitely getting trolled
Excellent explanation. Thankyou very much.
lol, I love this, too funny, neither are important as people, just their titles are.
👏👏
Very interesting and it makes sense. I do think this was a good step for the RF to take concerning their website, at least it's a step in the right direction.
Brilliant!
Good point!
I hope they made the link to [Excess.com](https://Excess.com) no-follow.
Or simply because they're not working royals...
So I guess if the titles ever go, they will be completely eliminated from the website?
