In an extraordinary turn of events for the monarchy, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex released a bombshell statement announcing their plans to “step back” as senior royals, and instead split their time between the UK and North America.
The couple took to Instagram to share the news, apparently without consulting the Queen or the Prince of Wales about the public announcement first....
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they are to "step back" as senior members of the royal family, and moving forward, will divide their time between the UK and North America.
The news arguably comes as a shock – apparently even to the Queen, who reportedly wasn't consulted before Harry and Meghan made the announcement.
