Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, for the first time, have publicly stated their intention to step back from their role as senior members of the royal family.
have made the decision to transition to a new role. The couple has faced a lot of opposition since their 2018 wedding. Despite continuous rumors from the press, this is the first time they’ve publicly stated their intention to step back from their role as senior members of the royal family., the Duke and Duchess of Sussex explain that after “many months of reflection and internal discussions,” they decided to create a new role for themselves within the royal family.
Now that they’re free to move as they please, travel is in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s future. “We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.” They credit the encouragement of the public with their decision to make such a massive change in their lives.
The duke and duchess’ son, Archie, is also a reason behind the transition. In their letter, the couple writes, “This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.” Charitable ventures featured strongly in Princess Diana’s life as well — like mother like son.
