Couple will not use royal highness titles in future, Buckingham Palace says
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle will no longer be working members of Britain’s monarchy and they will pay their own way in life as they embark on an independent future, Buckingham Palace said on Saturday.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family,” Queen Elizabeth said in a statement issued by the palace, referring to the couple’s baby son. Harry will remain a prince and the couple will keep their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex as they begin a new life split between North America and Britain. Meghan is currently in Canada with Archie and Harry is expected to join her soon.
However, in a TV interview aired in October, both had made it clear how they were struggling with the intense media scrutiny. Harry said he felt his wife had faced “bullying” from some press. “The Sussexes will not use their HRH title as they are no longer working members of the royal family.”The change means Harry, who served a decade in the British Army, will give up his military patronages and his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.
