“Megxit” Is Official, Couple No Longer Working Part of Royal Family

Prince Harry confirmed in a public statement that he and his wife Meghan Markle are officially no longer working members of the royal family. In an emotional statement last night, Harry said they will no longer receive public funds for royal duties, will no longer formally represent the queen, and will be stripped of their royal titles. Harry said in his statement that he and Meghan have not come to the decision lightly. He confirmed talks to split from the family have been in the works for months and said “I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.” Harry mentioned he has “the utmost respect” for his grandmother and that his love for his country will never change. The queen said in an official statement that she supports the couple’s wish for more independent lives and said they will always be “much loved members” of her family.
