It may feel like a lifetime since Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family, but it seems the pair will be starting their new life away from the monarchy sooner than we thought.

A spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has shared with The Guardian that they will officially be ending their royal duties on March 31, with plans to announce details of their new non-profit organisation later in the year.
In January, Meghan and Harry announced their decision to ‘resign’ from the royal family, writing at the time that they would “work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.” Since the news broke, the duke and duchess have embarked on a new chapter in North America with their son Archie Harrison.
The pair have also begun diversifying their work engagements, with Prince Harry attending a private J.P. Morgan event in Miami earlier in the month and Meghan signing a voiceover deal with Disney. The couple has also found time to enjoy a double date with Hollywood royalty – Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez!
The news follows reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will no longer be able to use the word ‘royal’ as part of their new brand – specifically regarding the new charity they hope to launch.
Although some outlets are reporting that Queen Elizabeth II has completely “banned” the two from using the word in their current and future endeavours, People magazine’s sources have said that “discussions” are still underway about the matter.
“As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are stepping back as senior members of the royal family and will work toward financial independence, use of the word royal, in this context, needed to be reviewed. Discussions are still ongoing,” the source tells People.
They continue, “As part of the process to transition the Duke and Duchess of Sussex into their new chapter, planning has been well underway around the launch of their new nonprofit organisation. Details will be shared in due course.”
It may feel like a lifetime since Meghan and Harry announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the royal family, but it seems the pair will be starting their new life away from the monarchy sooner than we thought.
