It's hard to keep up with all the changes going on regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but luckily I'm borderline obsessed and try to stay updated! (I can't help it, I just LOVE them together.) So, as you may know, 2 weeks ago they announced they wanted to "step back from Royal life", which means they'll be splitting time between Canada and the U.K., paying back the 3 million in renovations to The Frogmore Cottage, removing the trademarked HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) and simply be referred to as "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex." They also want to be financially independent. This was a HUGE shock to the Royal Family and The Queen even had to hold a "crisis summit" to discuss it.
In the video below, Prince Harry said, "The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly. It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. And I know I haven't always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option. What I want to make clear is, we're not walking away, and we certainly aren't walking away from you."
The entire 7 minute video is below. To see more details, read this. There is also an official statement from Buckingham Palace- here.
I think what Harry and Meghan are doing is INSANELY brave, and I'm proud of them.
