Prince Harry (36) and Duchess Meghan (39) dropped the bomb at the beginning of the year: the couple announced on Instagram that they would be stepping down as royal members of the British royal family. This decision by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was met with incomprehension by many. Queen Elizabeth II (94) and her family found themselves in an unprecedented situation.
The year of terror 2020 began for the royal family on January 8 with a single post on Instagram. In it, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced that they would be retiring from their royal duties. They also announced that they wanted to become “financially independent.” For the Royals, this decision came as a shock for the first time.

Crisis summit three hours after Instagram post
A crisis summit at Sandringham followed. The meeting between the Queen, Harry, Prince William (38) and Prince Charles (72) lasted more than three hours. “My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan’s desire to build a new life as a young family,” the Queen wrote shortly thereafter. Although they would have preferred to remain members of the royal family who work full time.
After their decision was announced, the couple fled to Canada and in the summer they left for Montecito, California. There, the couple bought a 14.7 million Swiss franc villa there in August, which is completely closed, also for the sake of their son. The couple wish one-year-old Archie would grow up out of the public eye.
The biography made royalty tremble
To achieve this, they have done everything possible in recent months, including suing the agencies that took photos of the mini-royal. For them to take a position so clearly would have been unthinkable as high-ranking royals. Therefore, the queen should not be particularly pleased with your complaints. Especially since it’s not the first legal battle for Harry and Meghan.
However, much worse should have been the biography of the two. The royal family had to put up with a lot. According to “Finding Freedom”, Harry and Meghan would have felt rejected by the British royal family. In his opinion, resentment and jealousy were also involved. The royal family feared that the royal couple could become more popular than the royal family itself.
175 million francs with streaming offers
The danger is still there. Because the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dare to go public like no other royal. In September, the couple signed a contract with the streaming giant Netflix, which should bring them around 150 million francs. For the million dollar deal, they should also be in front of the camera. There should be a documentary to accompany them in their new life in California. For a member of the royal family really unthinkable.
But that’s not all: after the mega-deal with Neftlix, the two landed a 35 million Swiss franc contract with Swedish audio giant Spotify. They said, “Podcasts make us take a moment and really listen. That’s why we like them so much. “It is questionable whether the queen likes her new jobs. (Bsn)
