In تم a landmark decision that reshaped the British monarchy, Harry and Meghan announced in 2023 that they would step back from senior royal duties, becoming *non‑working* royals while retaining the title of prince and duchess. Their departure came amid growing scrutiny of the royal family’s role and finances.

The couple’s new arrangement freed them from official engagements, public appearances, and the income that traditionally accompanies senior members of the family. Instead, they will pursue independent business ventures, media projects, and philanthropic work, with the added benefit of privacy and flexibility.

While the transition was clear, questions remained about the couple’s future residence. Reports suggested they would relocate to the United States, but no official address has been confirmed. Their decision also sparked debates about the monarchy’s role, with many wondering whether the couple will ever return to official duties.

In June, the royal household confirmed that Harry and Meghan would maintain their public titles but would no longer be paid by the Crown, underscoring a new era of semi‑retirement for the union.
