The Royal Family's website has been updated once again, just weeks after Prince Harry's profile page was changed to remove his HRH title.

There are over five thousand pages on the site and these are having to be "revisited and updated periodically", particularly in light of the death of Queen Elizabeth II last September. A Buckingham Palace spokesperson added: "Some content may be out of date until this process is complete."

Earlier this month, the Duke of Sussex's profile page was updated to reflect agreements made when he and wife Meghan stepped down as working royals in January 2020. The position of their landing page was also moved down to below the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra.

Further tweaks have now been pointed out by blogger Gert's Royals, who posted that the website now includes a drop-down menu under the title 'Royal websites' to four external sites. These include the Royal Collection Trust, The Prince's Trust, The Royal Foundation and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

The website also has a new section, called 'Their Majesties' work as Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall', which includes posts from Charles and Camilla's old Clarence House page. The features on Clarence House and Kensington Palace have also been updated to reflect the King and Queen’s new titles, as well as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Prior to the tweak, the monarchs were referred to as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall - titles they stopped using after the late Queen died on September 8 last year. Similarly, William and Kate were referred to as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Pages on the Royal Collection Trust, Royal Warrants and Royal Finances have also been updated to reflect that King Charles is now monarch, not his late mother. The first pages when clicking the search bar have also been changed to avoid the long list of Commonwealth nations appearing, all of which repeatedly stated that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth was monarch.

However, the Canada page still appears prominently and that still incorrectly states the late Queen is monarch. The Express originally reported the errors on the royal site before Palace aides made changes. Other changes made included Harry no longer being referred to as the youngest son of the Prince of Wales.

Charles held that title until he was crowned and then passed it to eldest son Prince William. His youngest son is five-year-old Prince Louis. Instead the website has been changed to say: "The Duke of Sussex is fifth in line to the throne and the younger son of The King and Diana, Princess of Wales."

Buckingham Palace previously said: "The Royal Family website contains over five thousand pages of information about the life and work of the Royal Family. 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.”
