Prince Harry and Meghan step back from royal family

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan are stepping back from the British royal family.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the couple said in a statement. “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. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.”


The couple has publicly complained about the scrutiny they face from tabloid media around the world.
