After retiring, Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan long for a carefree life. But the fuss about the Megxit is far from over.

  • Following the announced withdrawal of Prince Harry and Meghan, the royal family is making the separation more radical than many would have thought.
  • In an emotional speech , Prince Harry broke his silence for the first time.
  • A family dispute has broken out over Baby Archie .

February 4, 2020 update: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan hope to lead a carefree life in Canada after their retreat . But the maelstrom around the Megxit is more violent than they would like. Now even little son Archie has gotten between the fronts. There are said to be disagreements about his future between Harry and Meghan on one side and Queen Elizabeth on the other.

Meanwhile, William and Kate enjoy the royal life on the island and look relaxed. So the Duchess now showed herself in a dress that was unusually deep for her standards.

Baby Archie: Queen Elizabeth should miss him

As the British newspaper The Times writes (behind the pay barrier), the Queen is said to be "very sad" that she and other family members see Archie far too little, not at all this year. She is sad that he grows up without his cousins ​​and far from the royal family. At the time, Harry had pledged to "educate Archie" with appreciation for the tradition into which he was born, but because of the distance, this hardly seems possible.

According to media reports, Meghan herself should no longer want to go back to England . As the US magazine People wrote, the retreat should serve Archie, since the royal family has a poisoned climate. There is even talk of targeted bullying. With such trenches, the question arises whether Archie can actually keep its identity and royal roots.

The fact that the two can no longer call themselves "Royal Highness " in the future is probably the least drastic change for Prince Harry and his wife *. Harry and Meghan understood "... that they must step down from their royal duties, including official military appointments," the statement said. So Harry also has to give up his role in the military .

Meghan and Harry want to keep their patronage. Harry is particularly concerned about mental health. Meghan especially campaigned for women's rights. Harry has also created an organization to support AIDS orphans in Botswana and the “Invictus Games” sports competition for veterans at war. In 2022 Düsseldorf is to host the "Invictus Games". The duke and duchess of Sussex also remain the two.

Harry and Meghan - financially on their own in the future

The life of former actress Meghan * and Prince Williams' brother will change financially . Because they will neither work full-time nor part-time as royals for the royal family - consequently no more will they receive money from the sovereign grant, the state's financial support for the royals. "They no longer receive public funds for royal duties," the message said. The duke couple will not only have to finance themselves in the future. Prince Harry also faces high repayments.

Prince Harry and Meghan have to pay back millions

Harry and Meghan will - according to the Palace's announcement, at their own request - repay the money for the £ 2.4m renovation of their Windsor residence, Frogmore Cottage. Because Frogmore Cottage should "remain their British family home," says the statement. Harry and Meghan had announced that they would split their time between the United Kingdom and North America in the future. You probably meant Canada above all. There, the two took a six-week break over Christmas and New Year with their son Archie, who was born in May 2019.

Since their wedding in May 2018, Harry and Meghan had sometimes had a hard time with their role. During a trip to southern Africa in autumn, the two poured their hearts out in front of a camera team. Harry spoke of different paths that he and his brother, Prince William , were on. Meghan made it clear that she felt treated unfairly.

After the retreat of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan, all modalities still don't seem to have been clarified. An ex-protection officer is now warning. Even before the wedding in 2018, a clairvoyant apparently hinted at the Megxit - thanks to Lady Di.

Prince Harry was given a huge honor and was given a new title by Queen Elizabeth II. Is it a coincidence that this happened so soon after Harry's departure?

A Hollywood star recently teased the couple who wanted to move their lives to North America.
