Buckingham Palace today confirmed the news of Meghan and Harry’s departure from the royal fold in a statement this morning.
The Palace also confirmed Harry has been stripped of his military titles.
“The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family,” the wrote.
“While all are saddened by their decision, The Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family,” the royal announcement concluded.
Shortly after news from the Palace broke, Harry and Meghan out put out their own statement.
“As evidenced by their work over the past year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the UK and around the world and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role.
“We can all live a life of service. Service is universal,” they added.
The news comes as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will sit down with the chat show queen in a 90-minute interview to be broadcast next month – with pals of Oprah suggesting “nothing will be off-limits”.
It is believed the couple will use the interview to start a new chapter in their lives as the 12-month Megxit review is finalised.
And one source told the Mail the Oprah interview would give the couple the chance to “get whatever it is they want to say off their chests and move on”.
