Prince Harry and Meghan Give Up Royal Duties and HRH Titles

Prince Harry and Meghan will no longer use their HRH titles and will not receive public funds for royal duties, Buckingham Palace has announced. The couple will also no longer formally represent the Queen.

The new arrangement will come into effect in spring this year, the Palace saidin a statement coming after the Queen held talks with the couple on Monday about their future.

The Queen said that, following "many months of conversations and more recent discussions" she was "pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for [her] grandson and his family".

"Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family," the statement continued.

She thanked them for their "dedicated work", adding that she was "particularly proud of how Meghan had so quickly become one of the family."

In a separate statement, Buckingham Palace said: "The Sussexes will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family."

HRH, an abbreviation of His/Her Royal Highness, is used as part of the title of some members of the royal family.
