Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will no longer return to their royal duties in the British royal family. After speaking with the Duke of Sussex, the queen confirmed that after the withdrawal of the royal family it was not possible to continue “with the responsibilities and duties associated with a life serving the people,” the palace said on Friday. Both will return their patronage and honorary military titles.
Harry (36) and Meghan (39) separated from the royal family early last year and announced that they wanted to live financially independently. Today, the two live in California with their one-year-old son Archie, producing series and podcasts, getting very involved and expecting another child. An important interview with the American presenter Oprah Winfrey will be published soon.
From the beginning, similar to Brexit, a one-year transition phase was agreed for the so-called “Megxit”. Until then, the couple’s future role in the crown should be clarified in discussions with Queen Elizabeth II. “Although everyone is saddened by their decision, the Duke and Duchess remain very dear members of the family,” the royal family now concluded.
Lost role in the military should hurt
Most likely, Prince Harry will particularly regret his lost role in the army. After many years of service with deployments to Afghanistan, he always remained in close contact with the military and also started the “Invictus Games”, an international sports competition for wounded and wounded soldiers. But the newly won freedom has its price: this is the message that the palace supports with its clear announcement.
The couple, now formally divorced from the palace, confirmed through a spokesperson that they would maintain their engagement in Britain and around the world and would continue to work with the organizations. “We can all live a life serving the community. That is universal,” the two announced. (apa, dpa)
