Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle on Wednesday took on their official Instagram account to announce that they have stepped back as senior members of the Royal family and will work to become financially independent. The Royal couple also said that they plan to spit their time between the United Kingdom and North America. The couple is going to launch a new charitable entity and spend much of their time in North America.

The Duke and the Duchess of Sussex has always been in the pressure of spotlight since their fairytale wedding in 2018 and then followed by the birth of their son Archie. The couple has also recently spent their Christmas in Canada rather spending it with the Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the Royal family.
Prince Harry and wife Meghan were the most senior members of the Royal family and were expected to take a much bigger role and their decision to step back as ‘senior’ royals has reportedly hurt the other members of the royal family and Queen Elizabeth.
The couple also said that they will continue to support Queen Elizabeth and honour their duties to her, the Commonwealth and their patronages, indicating they are not fully quitting.
In Wednesday’s shock announcement the twitter is divided!
#PrinceHarry lost his mother, Princess Diana, at 12. He grew up watching the British press & paparazzi treat her badly & that led to her death. He is watching the same thing being done to #MeghanMarkle & he is now a father. He is right to do whatever he can to protect his family. pic.twitter.com/54p7TxlN7k

So #PrinceHarry and #MeganMarkle want to be financially independent but still expect their security needs to be paid for and to continue living in a house for free. I want to be financially independent toooo!

This tweet sums up everything wrong with the medias attitude to Harry and Meghan. I'm not a fan of the Royal Family but they are still human and the constant media attack has been relentless and frankly disgusting. #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry #royals https://t.co/TlTzdAhNF3

Prince Harry and Meghan put their two weeks notice into the Royal Family…I didn’t even know they could do that. Let me go get some stationary to officially quit some of my family too. #PrinceHarry #MeghanAndHarry #meghanmarkle pic.twitter.com/reaSy8vdC5

The royal family saying that they are “disappointed” in Harry and Meghan’s decision knowing full well they shielded Prince Andrew from scrutiny for years is embarrassing and also very telling. So his behaviour wasn’t disappointing enough? #PrinceHarry #MeghanMarkle pic.twitter.com/5WJgzcxTWF

After a gruelling 20 months of doing fuck all #PrinceHarry and #meghan have decided to step down and do even less.
Thanks to the UK taxpayer for £2.4 million spent on doing their cottage up and £23.7 million on their wedding.
Well played 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/rlKZacHfPT— i.am.phil (@philwithy69) January 9, 2020
#PrinceHarry doesn’t want to be Royal anymore but let’s face it he probably isn’t one anyway 🤷♂️🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/TMtfuTN6Q6

That a husband and father thinks his marriage and relationship with his wife is more important than the royal family is a breath of fresh air.
He saw the effects of being a royal had on his mother and doesn't want a repeat of that.
Good for them. #MeghanMarkle #PrinceHarry— Joe William Bowles II🚀❤️🏈😂 (@JoeWBowles) January 8, 2020
