The Queen has confirmed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be returning as working members of the Royal Family nearly a year after stepping down, Buckingham Palace said today.
The dramatic announcement was made in a palace statement at midday today, and sees the Sussexes quit for good more than one month before the one-year 'Megxit' review was due to be concluded on March 31.
Buckingham Palace referred to the Sussexes as 'much loved members of the family' and said it was 'saddened by their decision'.

Don’t let the Palace Door hit you...
Dream foolishly on.
No I don’t.
Right. We kicked the royals out in 1781 at Yorktowne, and we have no business having any concern for the lot of them.
I think Harry is not too smart and is where he wants t be.
The world’s richest welfare recipients.
There’s an opening for the Duke of Earl...
Especially with what's-her-butt announcing recently that she's knocked up again.
She lost that title on January 20th!
I seem to be drastically outnumbered here with that thought.
The 95 year old queen should not have to be dealing with this. But glad she did it and didn’t wait the full year.
Yes I care!
Let me see...
Hmmmmmmmmm....
NO! DON’T CARE!
Omg Harry’s bare feet in the latest photo under the tree was awful.
Yes I care if Harry pays usa taxes.
