Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will finish up their official duties as senior royals on the 31st of March.
The couple announced their intention to step down and commit to a life of financial independence in January.
They may be prevented from including the word 'royal' in their personal brand, which market experts predicted could earn them almost a billion dollars a year. The pair have six more official engagements lined up before they step back from being senior royals. Image: AP
