Over five years after Prince Harry and Meghan stepped back as working royals, their relationship with the Royal Family still attracts scrutiny. They announced their decision in 2020 and expressed a desire to "work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support" the late Queen Elizabeth.
Their initial plan was to "balance [their] time between the United Kingdom and North America" and to continue "to honour [their[ duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and [their] patronages". This hasn’t come to pass, with the Sussexes living permanently in the US and no longer officially supporting the monarchy or Commonwealth.
