Are Harry and Meghan Still Royal?
The answer to this question is a resounding “no.” On January 18, 2021, Buckingham Palace released a statement declaring that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are no longer working members of the Royal Family.
The news came after a private meeting between the couple and the Queen, which was held to discuss the couple’s future roles within the Royal Family. It was initially thought that the couple would be “stepping back” from their roles, but it turned out that “back” really meant “down.”
The statement from Buckingham Palace said that the couple will no longer receive public funds for their official duties and will no longer use their “HRH” titles. They will, however, still retain their titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The couple have since relocated to California and have signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix. They have also launched their own non-profit organization, Archewell, which is focused on creating “impactful projects that build compassion and empathy.”
So, to answer the question, are Harry and Meghan still royal? The answer is no. They are no longer working members of the Royal Family and have moved on to pursue their own projects and causes.
