Listen, friends, adjusting to a whole new life isn’t easy, especially when you're stepping away from a world as iconic as the British monarchy. But Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are diving headfirst into this next chapter. One thing is crystal clear: Harry was ready to make some bold moves to create a simpler, more peaceful life for himself and his family. And let’s be honest, who can blame him?
According to an exclusive source speaking to Closer Weekly, “At first, Harry wanted to hold onto his HRH title, but he willingly gave it up in exchange for a more relaxed lifestyle. That decision was finalized during those intense meetings.” So, from now on, the couple will simply be known as The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Sure, Harry might not carry that royal title anymore, but one thing hasn’t changed—his big heart and generous spirit.
“They’ll still continue with their charitable work, but they won’t have to report directly to the Queen anymore,” the insider revealed. And guess what? Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, at 93 years young, fully supports the couple’s decision to step back from their royal duties. This isn’t about walking away; it’s about finding a balance that works for everyone involved.

Her Majesty's Words of Support
On Saturday, January 18, the Queen issued a heartfelt statement addressing the situation. “Following many months of thoughtful conversations and more recent discussions, I’m genuinely pleased that together we have found a constructive and supportive path forward for my grandson and his family,” she said. “Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always remain cherished members of my family.”
She went on, “I fully recognize the challenges they’ve faced due to intense public scrutiny over the last two years and I wholeheartedly support their desire for a more independent life. I want to express my gratitude for all their dedicated work across this country, the Commonwealth, and beyond. I’m particularly proud of how quickly Meghan has become such an integral part of our family. It’s my entire family’s hope that today’s agreement allows them to begin building a happy and peaceful new life.”
A New Life Awaits
Harry is genuinely excited about this new chapter in his life alongside Meghan and their adorable son, Archie. “Harry can’t wait to leave the UK. He’s already thrown himself a little farewell gathering in London with a close-knit group of friends, and he’s absolutely thrilled about starting over as ‘a normal person,’” another insider told Closer Weekly. “He looked a bit tired and fairly somber, which makes sense given everything he’s been through recently. But he has no regrets about this move at all and is flying out to Canada next week to reunite with Meghan. He’s missed Meghan and [son] Archie so much since they’ve been apart.”
It’s a new beginning, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for Harry and Meghan. This is just the start of an incredible journey!
