Duke and Duchess Want to Be Financially Independent- Steps Back from Royal Roles

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle once again broke the norms by declaring that they’d be stepping back from their roles as senior members of the Royal Family and are willing to become financially independent in the days to come. The couple took it to Instagram on Wednesday to announce their split from the Royal household while still fully supporting her majesty The Queen in the family’s doings.

“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had posted on their official page. They further added,” We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honor our duty to the Queen, The Commonwealth, and our patronages”.

Harry and Meghan, who are the parents to their 8-month old son, Archie, have decided to focus on the launch of their new charitable entity and wouldn’t be accepting the taxpayers’ money collected by the monarchy henceforth. There were apparently no comments about the former Suits actress returning to TV shows though. Reports say that their decision wasn’t discussed with anyone from the Royal family and it has basically upset them. People around the world have appreciated the bold move by the couple who have always remained unconventional in their deeds.
