Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have signed up to a formal exit deal from the royal family, which will see them forsake their His and Her Royal Highness (HRH) titles and will no longer receive UK taxpayers’ funding for their duties.
The deal, which comes into effect by spring in a few weeks’ time, means the couple will no longer be representing the Queen in an official capacity.
Buckingham Palace said in a statement in London last night that The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the royal family.
Queen Elizabeth II said the agreement followed months of discussions and was a constructive and supportive way forward for her grandson and his family.
