Despite the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's visibility, there were subtle references to their split from the royal family
in March 2021, they relinquished the duties, income, and security protection that comes with being “working” royals. And while Harry had served in the British military with distinction for a decade, he also gave up his military titles.
Their royal status was the reason they were relegated to the second row, near their cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie—the children of the Queen’s son Prince Andrew. Heir apparent Prince William and Princess Katherine of Wales sat in the front row with their eldest children Prince George, 9, and Princess Charlotte, 7, across a small aisle from the King and Queen.
