Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
have announced their intention to step back from their position as senior
royals.
In a statement released on their
Instagram page, the couple said they also intend to pursue financial
independence.
“After many months of reflection
and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in
starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the
statement read.
“We intend to step back as
‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent
while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
“It is with your encouragement,
particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this
adjustment.
“We now plan to balance our time
between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to
The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
“This geographic balance will
enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into
which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on
the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”
In a documentary that aired in
October, the couple had admitted that they were struggling with the spotlight.
