The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced they will step back as "senior" royals and work to become financially independent.
In a statement, Prince Harry and Meghan also said they plan to split their time between the UK and North America.
The BBC understands no other royal - including the Queen or Prince William - was consulted before the statement and Buckingham Palace is "disappointed".
Senior royals are understood to be "hurt" by the announcement.
In their unexpected statement on Wednesday, also posted on their Instagram page, the couple said they made the decision "after many months of reflection and internal discussions".
"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."
They said they plan to balance their time between the UK and North America while "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."
A Buckingham Palace spokeswoman said discussions with the duke and duchess on their decision to step back were "at an early stage", adding: "We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."
The couple's announcement on Wednesday comes two months after the Duke of York withdrew from public life after a BBC interview about his ties to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in August.
Phil's dad, Andrew, George's fourth son, was a distant spare. His mum was a great-grandaughter of Queen Victoria, and was born in Windsor Castle. In other words, Phil never had a drop of Greek blood in him.
Harry’s red hair comes from his Spencer side. His auntie Lady Sarah McCorquodale is ginger as fuck and has a fat son who looks like Harry after a month on the Ethan Ralph diet.
Still dying laughing that Charles outright made “not your dad” jokes to him though.
one day he's like "yeah bro i'm super hardcore i totally blasted two dozen goatfuckers with airstrikes, wiped them out like pawns from a chessboard hehe nothin personnel kid"
next day he's like "noooo you can't be mean to me like that i'm gonna file a 25 page complaint with the HR department!!"

Prince Harry could be barred from the US and has put visa 'at risk' after admitting about his illicit drug usage, immigration experts have warned.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, confessed to doing cocaine, smoking cannabis and taking hallucinogenic mushrooms in his upcoming memoir.
Typical applicants would be denied a visa over their history with illegal substances, but US authorities note entry into the country is granted on a 'case-by-case' basis.
It is unclear if Harry, who moved to California with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020, detailed his drug use on his visa application. Immigration experts warn that if he 'lied' about his past, the Duke could have his visa revoked.
Scenario:
He's deported as an undesirable over the drugs thing.
Where would he go, and would Meghan go with him?
Please note: She's a US citizen and therefore cannot be exiled.
all of this seems like some kind of very complicated, very long game PR to me
if the yacht girl stories are true, and I think they are, there's compromising video and audio. but it never gets leaked. that's just one example. both harry and meghan absolutely have documented stuff in their past that could get released to the media and blown up into stuff everyone knows within a couple of days - from saying racist slurs to staff, to going to more parties dressed like different nazis, to being present at parties with underage trafficked girls, all the way up to having connections to drug lords.
that's how people like that roll, everyone knows this. so if the royals really wanted the sussexes to go away, they would go away. they don't, because if they did, we'd get 24-7 coverage of the same stuff everyone else does but as long as they play by the rules it stays out of the media.
there's some reason that the royals want this all to be happening, they want a black sheep and his blackish wife out of the UK and feuding publically.
Honestly, i’ll have to make the argument that Harry is doing a great thing for the royal family.
He’s being such an unlikable, pathetic cunt that the average British person would find Charles likable or at least tolerate him more. He has almost single handedly secured his dads throne.
I love conspiracy trash, and this makes me want to spread the theory that all of this (except, of course, Meghan's epic cuntery) is staged.
In my conspiratard version of things, Harry has gone under deep cover on a mission to garner sympathy and support for King Charles (WEF member, close friend of pedo rapist Jimmy Savile, and protegé of his uncle, Lord Mountbatten, who liked 'em young), and the RF in general (by drawing all attention and vitriol away from Andrew).
So far, he's succeeded brilliantly. His scouts found him the most odious, fame-hungry woman he could possibly marry; he encouraged her to achieve depths of malignancy she could only have dreamed of getting away with before, and all he really has to do is follow her lead as she shamelessly claws after money, fame, and influence.
Eventually, he will have achieved maximum ruination of both their reputations. Maybe we'll get a leaked video of Meghan saying horrifically racist shit, and admitting she'd spent her life prior to meeting Harry not wanting to be seen as a black or mixed-race woman. Who the fuck knows with Meg—she's bound to say something that renders her an utter pariah, sooner or later, and since being photographed or captured on video is totally normal for her, it should be easy for him to capture something sufficiently cancellable coming out of her mouth.
They will become despised outcasts that nobody wants to associate or do business with, save as regular targets of ridicule in the Daily Fail (to which Harry will leak a steady stream of gossip). They will accrue mountains of debt, go broke, and wage an ugly divorce battle, during which Harry will publicly confess to having been deluded by Meghan for years—she found his weaknesses, played on them, and he, being weak, couldn't resist.
He will make tearful public confessions and apologies to his family and country. Then, after finalizing the divorce and gaining custody of his kids, the RF will announce the long-hoped-for return of their beloved Prince Harry into the family fold, with a tearjerking message about love and forgiveness. So Harry will fuck off back to Blighty and spend the rest of his life comfortably out of the public eye, having succeeded brilliantly at his mission. Meghan will take up residence at her neice Ashley; Ashley will tell herself that sleeping on her own couch while Meg takes over her bedroom is totally okay because Megs has had it so hard. THE END.
Imagine being a grown man (or in this case "man") and writing a tattletale book about the time you were a complete pussy to your older brother who was clearly disgusted by you.
"My father and brother don't want anything to do with me nowadays, so I'm going to write a book about how mean they are, that will smooth things over".
Yes, and all the while saying, "I just want my father and brother back."
Maybe he really does want them back, but has been unable to resist the pressure from Meg to tell all—in the name of honesty and "authenticity," and, let's be real, book sales.
Or maybe he doesn't want them back, but he's saying he does in order to paint them as cold, unfeeling, and unforgiving for not taking him back on Meghan's his terms. After all, they're the ones who rejected his wife, turned on him, drove him to flee to California, deprived him of income and his children of titles. It's all their fault, and he's just the poor, second-rate "spare," tossed out by a bunch of racists for marrying a brave woman of color and making blond, blue-eyed, pale-skinned babies with a surrogate her.
No doubt his attention-whore wife has been encouraging him in this latest endeavor. Meghan Markle comes off as transparently self-interested and one of those very controlling wives.
She has the airs of one of those wives who get their hooks into a guy and gets him to do things like "I don't want you to see friends you have had since before you even met me anymore" and "give up all of your hobbies".
Even at their wedding, virtually none of Harry's old friends were invited because Meghan disapproved of them. She was upset by country-house weekend activities such as shooting and hunting, and demanded he stop. She's educated him on how problematic all his "privileged" old friends' attitudes are, and he dropped them all to please her. She started socially isolating him very early in their relationship, because she couldn't stand the idea of anybody else taking attention away from her or having an influence on him.
Beyond even that, personal assistants are, well, personal. Her literal job is being Kate's dogsbody, so Meg should understand that anything she did for anyone other than Kate should be considered a personal favor and explicitly outside the domain of her duties. I realize Meg 's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but has she ever interrupted a waiter who was taking an order at another table?
Narcissists have boundary issues as it is; nobody else's boundaries matter, or else the Narc simply doesn't recognize that they exist at all.
Truly malignant Narcissists, like Meghan, routinely push against boundaries in order to see what they can get away with, and how much power they can exert. They'll ask for all kinds of favors, speak over you, outright insult you, routinely show up late, or otherwise behave, speak, or present themselves inappropriately, just to see if they can get away with it. Because if they can, that tells them how far they can go with you. And since most reasonably normal people just want to be nice and get along and maintain outward peace, they'll comply, or let it slide, or otherwise try to please/appease the Narcissist—which never works. What does work? Put as much distance between them and you as possible, and cut them out of your life if you can (even if it means your stupid, cunt-struck kid brother goes with her).

I swear to god, if Megsy-baby herself didn't write Harry's book, she helicoptered like mad over a female ghostwriter, because details like that are not ones a man would focus upon.
And yet Harry looks A LOT like James Hewitt too. View attachment 4210192
Anyway, I'd like to know if Diana took some antidepressants while pregnant with Harry, that would partly explain why he's so retarded.
The whole meeting part with Kate looks so draining for Kate and William. Meghan has no common sense, decency, basic courtesy and respect:
How does she thinks first meeting with someone important in "ripped jeans and barefoot" is a good idea??
Kate is the future queen of england (and I agree Charles III won't last more than 10 years max), how does she thinks making very stupid/insulting "jokes" to Kate is fun because Meghan "talks like that to her friends" (which I bet she doesn't have many).
The lipgloss part is indeed disgusting, why would anyone share a lipgloss?? During a pandemic?? And with a whore like Meghan.
How does she think Kate's staff are her slaves, can be talked down and have to do her desideratum?
I can't believe how stupid and entitled she is.
That part is hilarious. I can totally see Meghan throwing a tantrum like a 4 years old, lying, crying and yelling on the kitchen floor for hours.
Harold is kinda like the bum baby (maybe they've figured out the science of that in Commiefornia) of Chas and Jimmy, altho neither the former cavalry officer nor the granny grabbing king of the britbongs were / are gay (as far as is known) despite being public school toofs.
I have no idea of her follow counts. Tbh I think I was arguing/going back and forth with a sperg at some point during that conversation and was quoting them.
If the follower counts are c. 100k that's a bit odd. While the British tabloids comb through everything, whatever commiefornia billionaire who owns Harold and Meghan could pay for high class of click farm beyond the resources of the usual Insta yacht girl thot influencer or over-ambitious retard.
The Hellenic Royal Family like most Royal Families of states new and old are largely German(ic) by ancestry, of the House of Glücksburg via the Danish Royal Family. For newly independent states, it meant fairly low cost monarchs with readymade ties to the then rising power of Germany and the declining Britain.

German nobility basically outnumbered every other european nation 10 to 1 thanks to the way the holy roman empire worked. If you were a princess in 1750 you had a choice between a swarthy spaniard, two effeminate frogs, and about 100 german nobles with ridiculous surnames
Prince Harry’s claim in his new book that he killed 25 Taliban fighters during his military service in Afghanistan is drawing extensive pushback from veterans, who say publishing a head count is violating an unspoken code and could jeopardize security for the British forces as well as himself.

“This is not how we behave in the army. It’s not how we think,” Col. Collins said in an interview with the Forces News British military news organizations. “He has badly let the side down. We don’t do notches on the rifle butt. We never did.”
Just caught glimpse of the 60 Minutes interview where Prince Harry tried to talk down on Jeremy Clarkson’s joke on Meghan and him even after he “apologized” for it. More proof that he dropped the ball even worse than trying to slander his brother and father.
”Our lives were built on death, our brightest days shadowed by it. Looking back, I didn't see spots of time, but dances with death.” He described Windsor Castle as a “tomb, the walls filled with ancestors” and Tower of London “held together with the blood of animals” adding, “maybe we were a death cult”.
All animals killed throughout history - boo hoo hoo.
25 ragheads destroyed by raining artillery from a flying death machine done by Harry - just chess pieces.
He's still got the old racism in him. You can't get rid of it, only pretend to for pussy. Which is what he's doing.
Harry's been raised under strict protocol, he knows when to shut up and be quiet. Meghan's the one orchestrating these things, I am 100% sure of it. She's telling Harry he needs to vent, and she's the one guiding the ghostwriting on what to write according to certain experiences told by Harry either in privacy or by her own request for the sake of the book. He can't tell Meghan "no", we know that.
If there is something Meghan's been doing to try to make Harry do what she wants is to act like Diana. Someone mentioned above she even wanted the tiara she wore for her wedding day to wear for her own. She wants to bring memories of her because that's what triggers Harry's behaviour.
Guess what? Diana also had a controversial book about her. She didn't write it, but she was the main source of it (something she denied, but was revealed to be true after her death). And the book also told how unhappy and suicidal Diana was, something that was truly shocking during that time even after all the rumors of separation and cheating.
At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Meghan tries to fake a car crash only to crush Harry's spirit even more. All he has now is Meghan and fearing for her life and thinking he's gonna lose her like he lost his mother is what is absolutely gonna make this idiot ginger crack.
