The couple has also been undertaking meetings as part of their ongoing work to establish their new non-profit organisation.
The development comes after the couple`s January 8 announcement that they were stepping back as royals in order to become financially independent but would continue to serve the Queen. The couple's decision has led to several changes. They do not hold royal titles and may even have to give up on their 'Sussex Royals' brand which they had been building since last year.
The couple is currently living in Canada with their baby son Archie and likely to make the country their permanent residence.
