London (CNN) — Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will take a break from royal duties towards the end of the year, dividing their time between the US and the UK, a royal source has told CNN.

Confirmation of a break comes hours before an ITV documentary filmed during the couple's recent South Africa tour is broadcast in the UK.

I think it should be pointed out that Kate was bullied by the press & public for years, but didn’t go on camera with her fake crocodile tears. She pulled her socks up, created her own image the public could be proud of and got on with it. I suggest Markle does the same.

I'm not as "anti-royal" as most here on FR. I think that for Britain, there can be a place for monarchy in modern society.

But, really, this is ridiculous. Motherhood has been hard for her?

She could have said, "Even with all the advantages I have, there are sleepless nights, worry, hope, joy... I am in awe of the mothers who manage with keeping a house and job and juggling all their other responsibilities... etc etc" She would have been universally lauded.

Instead, "No one asks how I'm doing?"

Enough with this one.

I will admit that I didn’t read the article. At first glance the title sounded like this is the first step to disengage them from royal duties. Tax payer funded trips are probably cutoff, pr support is probably limited. At some points the royal income could go away if they don’t learn their lesson.

This is hilarious. Twitter outrage is trying to claim someone shouted Get Rid of Markle as the Queen ascends the throne.

In truth, there was shouting whatever the phrase to start parliament. Has something to do with the Black Rod who carries the Mace.

The Mace is the thing that got everyone so upset when some yahoo in parliament grabbed it.

A lot of comments suggest this is the Queens doing.

It will be off with her head...2020 style

Off with her PR firm and her cell phone. And her royal allowance. And her public appearances. And her title.

Harry: “What? What??? Just tell me _what_ will make you happy?!?”

Honestly, the woman had to know what the job entailed when she took it.

As in any life, I'm sure there are ups and downs. Her "ups" are higher than most, and her "downs" are also higher than most.

I believe Diana had very real mental health issues. She played the woe is me card and it worked. Of course, she also was treated poorly by Charles.

Meghan is going to do that but, in addition, she is stoking the racial component.

This is a landmine PR field that the Queen will have to navigate.

A lot of tweets about the nasty ole racist Brits picking on poor woe is me Meghan who is an actress and has claimed she can easily cry.

The Queen should just banish them and wait for Harry or Meghan to decide they don’t want each other.

Did this woman (who I assume is incredibly smart because she’s a leftist) not realize that royals live under public scrutiny and have for years? Was she not aware of what royal life would be? What a lot of nonsense. She’s just self-absorbed and isn’t getting as much attention.

She wanted the royal wedding, not the royal marriage.

Looks like the Palace is shutting the Sussexes down. They have become an embarrassment.

Ha! That’s one great thing about ‘Seinfeld’. No matter what the topic is, there will be an appropriate Seinfeld reference.

Spend as much time as you want but dont spend any in the US. Brits have worn out their welcome.

I know . . . Spending all that money that you didn’t earn on worldwide travel has got to be exhausting.
