The Prince and the Princess of Sussex of England revealed their plans to step back as part of the senior royals of the royal family of England.
This shocking announcement came on Wednesday via their instagram without any prior consultation with other royals and the Buckingham Palace is disappointed.
The reasons stated by the royals are not convincing enough, according to other senior royals who were understood to be hurt by the announcement.
Peruse the media release below:
‘…After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.
It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex..”
However, according to the royal correspondence, Jonny Dymond, the real strength of feeling in the palace is not about the development but how it was done – the failure to consult sting – this could be a big rift between Harry and Markle on one side and other royals on the other side.
