'They want to step out of the limelight' Harry and Meghan will no longer use their HRH titles and will not receive public funds for royal duties The BBC's royal correspondent Daniela Relph explains
They will always be, the Queen writes,"much loved members of my family".
The early talk was of a much more mixed life - one where perhaps Harry and Meghan continued with some royal duties, dividing their time equally between the UK and Canada.There are still lots of details to thrash out.But a new life awaits Harry and Meghan - celebrities, certainly, but a different kind of royalty.Some questions about the couple's future status remain unanswered, including what their tax and immigration status will be in the UK and Canada.
Former press secretary to the Queen Dickie Arbiter said the new arrangement brings a crisis for the Royal Family to an acceptable conclusion. "The Sussexes have won because they've got what they want, which is independence from the Royal Family. I do think the Royal Family will have lost out. Harry and Meghan brought a very magical and unique brand to the Royal Family," she said."Prince Charles wants a slimmed-down monarchy. Maybe this is all in keeping with how the monarchy sees itself moving forward.
