Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have had a life-changing year. In early 2020, the couple announced that they wanted to find a way to be more financially independent, which ultimately meant they could no longer work generously. Now they have separated themselves from the royal family and moved to LA. But how do they feel about Grandma Harry now that all the dust has settled?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle leave the royal family
After months of unrest and problems with the media, Harry and Meghan decided they wanted to live a more private life. In January, they announced their intention to carve out new roles for themselves in the royal family. After the meeting with the queen, it was decided that she should actually resign from her roles as older members of the royal family. The queen gave the Sussexes their blessing when they left.
“After many months of conversations and more recent conversations, I am glad that together we have found a constructive and supportive way for my granddaughter and his family,” Queen Elizabeth II wrote in an official statement.
“Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be dear members of my family,” she continued. “I acknowledge the challenges they have faced as a result of intensive monitoring over the last two years and support their desire for a more independent life.”
She went on to thank them for all the work they did for the country and expressed how proud she has been of Meghan and how she blended into her family.

Prince Harry and Meghan are proud of the Queen
A lot has happened since Meghan and Harry retired. Although they no longer work generously, they are still president and vice-president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. In a virtual call, they praised the queen for how she treated herself and explained how proud they were of her.
“I think everything my grandmother wanted to achieve when she took on this great responsibility is managed,” Harry said according to Entertainment Tonight. ‘No one could have predicted how the world would change in such a short time, especially with the digital space. But listen to you guys, know the broad spectrum that the QCT is shrinking, you guys are the definition of the 21st Century Commonwealth and what it means to be a part of it. You stand for equality, for mutual respect and for honesty. ”
That there seems to be no bad blood between Harry and his grandmother.
Where does Harry stand with his brother Prince William?
In the new book by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and Creating a Modern Family, it was revealed that Prince William’s warnings to Harry about Meghan were causing a disturbance in the brother’s relationship.

According to William, William said that Harry did not make noise and in response Harry and Meghan came closer.
After Harry and Meghan got married, the brothers’ feud only got worse.
“The feelings of William and Kate lay for the Sussexes in the summer of course and beyond,” the book reads. “Among all the friends and family Harry and Meghan who hosted at their home in Oxfordshire between May 2018 and March 2019, the Cambridges failed to attend.”
And now that Harry and Meghan are living on another continent and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is limiting the journey, the brothers have a lot more standing in their way of reunion.
