The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Harry and Meghan Markle, announced today that they will no longer participate actively as members of the British royal family. The decision was reported today to the Queen Isabel II and made public through a statement from the Buckingham Palace.

As a result, the honorary military appointments and royal patronages held by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be revoked and redistributed among working members of the royal family, the palace said in a statement.

The Queen has “written confirming 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 statement said.

“While all are saddened by their decision, the Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family,” the palace said.
