Harry and Meghan make their final split from British royal family

Just days after announcing they’re expecting their second child, Harry and Meghan are in the spotlight once again. Over the weekend, the Buckingham Palace revealed that the couple will not be returning as working members of the Royal Family.

The palace said that “following conversations with the Duke, the Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service. The honorary military appointments and royal patronages held by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of the Royal Family.”

The pair will still, however, offer their continued support to the organizations they have represented regardless of an official role.
