The new Duchess of Sussex's official royal page on Kensington Palace's website has been changed after fans complained that the original post downplayed her achievements as an actress by placing her career information on a secondary page. Ahead of becoming a member of the royal family, Meghan was a regular cast member of the hit legal drama Suits, where she played Rachel Zane. However, people flocking to read her biography on the site noted that the site appeared to focus on her charity work rather than her personal career.
