Things are about to change for Harry and Meghan this spring.
Following the couple’s announcement that they have chosen to “make a transition this year [and] intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family, and work to become financially independent” an announcement from Queen Elizabeth II and Buckingham Palace reveals details of the split.
According to the official announcement Prince Harry and Markle will lose their royal titles of “His Royal Highness” or “Her Royal Highness” but will retain their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple will also repay taxpayers for renovating Frogmore Cottage their UK home and will no longer receive public payment for their royal duties.
“Following many months of conversations and more recent discussions, I am pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family,” the announcement reads.
“The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared their wish to repay Sovereign Grant expenditure for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage, which will remain their UK family home.”
According to the announcement, the changes will take effect this spring.
