Windsor, Berkshire
Duke and Duchess of Sussex to step back from royal duties

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,
have announced that they will be stepping back from their roles as senior
members of the Royal family. This will involve the sixth in line to the
throne repaying the Sovereign Grant used to refurbish the couple’s
Frogmore Cottage home in the 655-acre Home Park of Windsor Castle.
A statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed that “while they can
no longer formally represent The Queen, the Sussexes have made clear
that everything they do will continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty.”
In a separate statement, Her Majesty The Queen acknowledged the
move came as “a result of intense scrutiny” but said she was “pleased
that together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward
for my grandson and his family”. http://www.royal.uk
