Meghan and Harry are to officially step down as senior royals on March 31.They are expected to spent more time across the pond than in the UK, however it has been speculated Meghan and Harry could return to the Duke’s homeland to attend key royal events such as Trooping the Colour in June.However, the couple will likely be less under the spotlights once they stop carrying out royal engagements and leave the family as full-time working members.Express.co.uk is now asking its readers whether they are sad to see Meghan and Harry stepping down. .The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced their intention to step down as senior royals and carve out a “new progressive role” within the Royal Family in early January.However, following days of intense negotiations, Buckingham Palace suggested it could not grant the ‘half in, half out’ position hoped for by the Sussexes and set out the terms of the so-called Megxit agreement.Under this deal, Meghan and Harry will no longer be able to use their HRH styles or carry out royal engagements, something the Sussexes were very keen on keep on doing.Prince Harry will also be unable to carry out any duty as on Captain General, and in 12 months, after the end of the transition period set by the Queen, he looks set to be stripped of his three honorary military titles.Meghan and Harry were also told they will no longer be able to use their brand name after April 1, as the Queen made sure they could no profit from their connection.In exchange, the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes were granted the freedom to live abroad and pursue new financial ventures.The terms of this agreement didn’t entirely satisfy Meghan and Harry, as the Duke revealed during a speech delivered at a charity event thrown for his organisation Sentebale.He said: “Our hope was to continue serving the Queen, the commonwealth, and my military associations, but without public funding.“Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible. .
“I’ve accepted this, knowing that it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am.“But I hope that helps you understand what it had to come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known, to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life.”.While Meghan and Harry’s work as royals will be over today, they could make “some announcements” in the next few weeks, according to Rebecca English, the royal correspondent at the Daily Mail..She wrote on Twitter: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will carry out their last engagement today as senior working royals, appearing with the Royal Family at the Commonwealth Service.@wabbey I’m told they will make some announcements over the next few weeks, but they have no duties in their diaries.”.
