Prince Harry and Meghan steps out as working member of royal family
Prince Harry and Meghan speculate about leaving the country and their official royal roles are making rounds.
Queen Elizabeth grandson II’s and his American wife are dethroned every day making headlines after Buckingham Palace announced Friday that the couple “confirmed” they won’t be returning to their roles as working members of the royal family.
This Sunday, media quoted, unnamed sources close to Prince William, who reportedly said that the future king is “sad and genuinely shocked” by his brother and Meghan’s departure from royal life. The sources said William felt the couple had been “insulting and disrespectful” to the queen.
In a short statement on Friday, Harry and Meghan noted that regardless of their official roles, “we can all live a life of service. Service is universal.”
It mirrored the language used by the palace which said 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 news that Harry and Meghan wouldn’t be returning to their royal roles came just days after reports that they would sit down for a tell-all interview with media mogul Oprah Winfrey. The couple, who now live in California, announced on Valentine’s Day that they were expecting their second child.
