Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family and plan to work towards becoming "financially independent," the couple announced on Instagram on Wednesday.

"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year" they wrote, explaining that they hope to "carve out a progressive new role within this institution." "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen," they said.

She trademarked her name..not sure how she is going to use that trademark if she leaves the firm.

I suspect she will be a charity grifter like Hillary

If they get divorced in California she will be set for life, financially independent or not.

Harry has an estimated net worth of over $45 MM from his mother’s inheritance. I am sure his father Charles will continue to send money to him from income from Charles’s private land holdings.

BREAKING. BBC Understands that no other member of the Royal Family was consulted before Harry and Meghan issued their personal statement tonight, the Palace is understood to be ‘disappointed’.

Yes I thought of “narcissist” as well. Major. For the whole world to see, in spectacular fashion.

Too bad Prince Phillip doesn't have his wits about him .He would have had plenty to say to Meagain back in the day

Piers Morgan @piersmorgan · BREAKING: Buckingham Palace says 'it's complicated'. Translation: the Queen's bloody furious.

So when their version of the Clinton Foundation/slush fund goes nowhere which is quite likely to happen, will she finally leave him and move on to her next mark? Harry is such an idiot.

BLIND GOSSIP has been all over this story for awhile..here is what they have to say

https://blindgossip.com/the-big-plan/#more-99874

SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] We warned you that this was coming!

Think back to a few months ago when we talked about the baby.

Our married couple was oddly reluctant to let the public see the baby, citing concerns over safety and a desire to bond privately.

We told you that wasn’t true. Plenty of their family members have managed to keep their children safe and secure over many generations while meeting their obligations as public figures.

We told you that the couple was actually trying to keep sightings of the baby rare while they figured out how to monetize the situation… without the rest of the family finding out.

They bungled that scenario.

However, it’s now full steam ahead with The Big Plan!

What is The Big Plan?

To brand and monetize everything.

You are now seeing that plan being put into motion. And if you question what they are doing, you will be met with anger, misdirection, and insistence that their motives are pure.

We hid the baby because… Privacy! Motherhood!

We take private planes and stay in posh private digs because… Environment! Wellness!

We isolate ourselves from 99% of our family and surround ourselves with celebrities because… Family! Safety!

We are engaging our own outside lawyers and PR team because… Protection! Charity!

How dare you question our motives!

See how that works?

Our couple is good. Those who question their motives or their nonsensical excuses or their bizarre hypocrisy are bad.

By the way, if you like The Clinton Foundation, you are going to love our couple’s charity organization. Why? Because The Clinton Foundation is our couple’s model.

Actually, they think they can be much bigger than The Clinton Foundation.

They just have to keep you pesky commoners at bay while they spin up the machine.

Then it’s cha ching… cha ching… cha ching!

All in the name of charity, of course.

Yes, you may roll your eyes.


and the link now has it marked as SOLVED with more...

“The Sussexes subsequently trademarked their brand for merchandising purposes; established a charity foundation in the United States, far from the prying eyes of the British Royal Family; and avoided England for more than two months during the holiday season while spinning up their new ventures with their lawyers and publicists.””

The Queen should strip them of that title that they are trying to brand

I wouldn’t be surprised if they move to LA either.

It is pretty obvious. Sorry if you don’t understand . Try reading it again. Or go to their follow up. Pretty damn obvious what Meghan has been up to
