Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made public their "intention to stop being 'senior' members of the royal house and work in the direction to become financially independent."

Buckingham Palace has responded in a statement to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "The discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in a precocious state. We understand their desire to start another journey, but they are complicated questions that take time to be resolved", says the text of the British Royal House. Instead, the 'Daily Mail', citing internal sources of the British royalty, reports that Buckingham Palace is "disappointed" with Meghan and Harry's decision and for not having communicated it to the Queen before announcing it publicly.
At the moment no more is known about what his exact plans are, but it seems that during the next few weeks his situation will begin to be clarified: "We are going to share all the details of this exciting new chapter for us, always collaborating with Her Majesty the Queen , the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties.

It has been six, almost seven weeks in Canada that will mark the near and long-term future of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reappeared this Wednesday at a ceremony at the Canada House in London to thank their hosts for the treatment received during this month and a half in their country, but there are those who speculate that everything may also be the first step towards a definitive transfer. if they come to renounce all their titles to live away from public life.
The British royal house, for the moment, denies that there is a distancing, and even speaks that it is nothing more than speculation, but neither the queen mentioned them at any time during her Christmas speech nor did they appear in family photographs. The fact that they did not want to spend the festivities with the rest of the royalty, claiming that they needed time to themselves, has not sat well at Buckingham Palace.
That is why the first appearance of the Sussexes was eagerly awaited, since since their official trip to Africa they have begun to show signs of exhaustion and wanting to take their own path. "How was your vacation?" Enrique asked the Canadian office employees, but in reality everyone wanted to consult the conclusions that he and his wife had drawn from this time away from the world that their position entails.
The connection that Meghan and Enrique have felt with Canada, where they have been able to enjoy intimacy and a different social circle than they are used to, seems to have captivated them. There they have been visiting Doria Ragland, her mother, and the former actress would have introduced the queen's grandson to all those friends she made during the seven years she was there recording the series 'Suits'.
The Sussexes also spent their Christmases with little Archie, their first son, in an eight-room mansion valued at 12 million euros owned by a mysterious billionaire. The property was located in one of the most exclusive enclaves on Vancouver Island, a place that Meghan described to one of the Canada House employees as "very beautiful." "Seeing our son exclaim 'Aaaahhh' when we walked with him and really feeling how precious everything was has meant a lot to us," she acknowledged. Enrique, for his part, admitted that they had enjoyed it a lot, but he also did not hesitate to complain that "it rained all the time."
At the moment, the institution tries to appear normal, ensuring that they have many more events planned for them during the remainder of the month, but the truth is that nothing confirmed appears on the official agenda and in their press office they cannot give more. information.
A friend of her has confirmed to the 'Daily Mail' that both are within an "important process" in which many changes in their current situation are included. "That could include from carrying out their work from Canada to abandoning all their titles, something that I hope they do not reach," explains the source to the tabloid with which the couple has an open dispute in court.
