"Misinformation is a global humanitarian crisis," said Harry. The Prince and his wife Meghan Markle quit royal duties in January 2020 and moved to the US. Their leaving the UK was widely termed as 'Megxit'.&nbsp;<br />

'Megxit' is a misogynistic term created by a troll: Prince Harry 

<p>They may have left Britain and royal duties to live a private life in Canada, but Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have not been able to shrug off the prying media off their back even in a new country.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The couple started their new life in Canada on Tuesday but on the first day itself their lawyers had to issue a warning to media over the recent photographs of Meghan Markle.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The Duchess was photographed while taking a stroll with the couple's son Prince Archie and their two dogs. Two bodyguards were seen accompanying Meghan.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In Britain, the pictures were used by The Sun and the Daily Mail newspapers.</p>

<p>Following their <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-meghan-markle-quit-royal-front-line-in-shock-move-273083">shock exit from life as working royals</a>, Harry jetted out from Britain to join Meghan late Monday at a luxury house outside Victoria on Vancouver Island.<br />
<br />
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have temporarily set up base at the wooded home, having spent six weeks there over Christmas with their baby son Archie.<br />

<br />
Their shocking announcement on January 8 that they wished to step back from their royal duties rocked the monarchy.<br />
<br />
The couple, who married in May 2018, admitted last year that they were struggling with media scrutiny and have regularly hit out at the press in statements and in the courts.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, lawyers claimed the images were taken by photographers hiding in bushes and spying on the US former television actress, the BBC reported, and that she did not consent to the photos. The couple were prepared to take legal action, according to the BBC.<br />
<br />
The lawyers claim there had been attempts to photograph inside their new home using long lenses, and say paparazzi are camped outside the property.</p>

<br />
A freelance photojournalist working in the area, who said he was from California but wanted to remain anonymous, said the potential legal issues are "kind of tough," but that he does not let them affect his work.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Canada has freedom of the press laws," he said, sitting in the driver's seat of a white SUV with his photography gear on the passenger's side.<br />
<br />
"From what I understand, as long as you are not following them, harassing them, breaking the law, as long as it’s a matter of public interest -- and the monarchy always is -- then the press is free to cover it."</p>

<p><strong>- 'No other option' -</strong><br />
<br />
Harry, 35, and 38-year-old Meghan are bowing out entirely from representing the monarchy, in a crisis that has shaken the centuries-old institution.<br />
<br />
Harry said Sunday that they did not want to quit their royal duties but <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/we-had-no-other-option-than-to-step-back-as-royals-prince-harry-275343">reluctantly accepted there was "no other option"</a> if they wanted to cut loose from public funding and seek their own income in pursuit of a more independent life.<br />
<br />
Under their new arrangement, the Sussexes are free to earn their own commercial income -- though at a greater cost than they first envisaged.<br />
<br />
They can no longer represent Harry's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II or be referred to as their royal highnesses, and must repay taxpayers' money spent on their UK home.<br />
<br />
They will no longer receive public money -- though 95 percent of their annual funding comes from his father Prince Charles, via the heir to the throne's hereditary land and property estate.<br />
<br />
To what extent that will continue, and who will cover their security bill -- currently met by the British police -- remains to be seen.<br />
<br />
<strong>- Questions over funding -</strong><br />
<br />
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday denied having spoken "directly" with Queen Elizabeth about the security costs, after British media reports that the country had offered to foot the bill.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Discussions continue to be ongoing and I have no updates at this moment," Trudeau told a news conference.<br />
<br />
Canadian media have estimated the cost of protecting the couple and their eight-month-old son Archie at about Can$1.7 million (US$1.3 million) a year. Other estimates run higher.<br />
<br />
Britain's Justice Secretary Robert Buckland said there must be a "line of delineation" over who pays the security costs.<br />
<br />
Asked whether British taxpayers should fund the Sussexes while they are in Canada, he told Sky News television: "I don't have an easy answer to that."<br />
<br />
The couple intend to raise their own income streams. They have launched their new Sussex Royal website and trademarked the name.<br />
<br />
However, the queen's senior advisor on heraldry suggested they should not be allowed to use the royal moniker, having relinquished their public duties.</p>

<p>"I don't think it's satisfactory. One cannot be two things at once. You either are (royal) or you're not," Thomas Woodcock, the Garter King of Arms, told The Times newspaper.<br />
<br />
In a role that dates back to the 15th century, he is involved in making sure that royal symbols are not used illegitimately for commercial purposes.<br />
<br />
Woodcock, who was giving his personal opinion, said the final decision would rest with the sovereign.<br />
<br />
<strong>- 'Leave them in peace' -</strong><br />
<br />
Like Britain, Canada is a Commonwealth realm, meaning Queen Elizabeth is the head of state.<br />
<br />
Residents walking dogs on a path near the Sussexes' new home told AFP that they opposed intrusion into their new Canadian set-up, and were proud of the local instinct to give them space.<br />
<br />
"We don't like it. Leave them in peace," said Anne Girling, adding she had met Meghan jogging on a trail nearby and they wished one another "good morning."<br />
<br />
Sue Starkey, another dog walker, described the area as a "really friendly" community.&nbsp;"Our neighborhood has been so respectful and giving them space," she said.&nbsp;"I'm really happy they're here and I hope they can find some peace."</p>

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle's lawyers warn media as the couple start new life in Canada

<p>The Duke and Duchess of Sussex caught the British Royal family and the global media off guard last week when they announced their bombshell decision to quit front-line duties.</p>

<p>Harry and Meghan decided on this issue without consulting any senior royals from the sovereign downwards.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meet-the-half-royals-prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-how-will-the-separation-from-the-family-work-out-for-the-couple-273295">Meet the half royals;&nbsp;how will the separation from the family work out for the couple?</a></p>

<p>Queen Elizabeth has consented to her grandson Harry and Meghan's desire for an increasingly autonomous future after the British regal family held emergency chats on Monday to determine an augmenting fracture among the Windsors.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/madame-tussauds-removes-waxworks-of-harry-and-meghan-from-royal-family-display-273256">Madame Tussauds removes waxworks of Harry and Meghan from royal family display</a></p>

<p>Harry and his American entertainer spouse will presently start a "period of transition" that will see them split their time among Britain and Canada as they additionally look for a way of life less hampered by imperial obligations and to end their dependence on public funding.</p>

<p>So, what will be their future course of action and how their lives will be?</p>

<p>Here’s everything we know so far.</p>

<p><strong>Reason for leaving?</strong><br />
<br />
In a statement on their official Instagram account the couple said that<strong>&nbsp;</strong>“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.” -<strong> The Duke and Duchess of Sussex</strong></p>

The Royal exit of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry: Things we know so far

<p>The <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/looks-like-theres-truth-to-meghan-markle-prince-harry-moving-to-canada-after-palace-refuses-to-deny-it-273019">British monarchy </a>scrambled Thursday to find urgent "workable solutions" for Prince Harry and his wife Meghan after their bombshell decision to quit front-line duties caught the royal family off guard.<br />
<br />
Queen Elizabeth II, heir to the &nbsp;throne Prince Charles and his eldest son Prince William, Harry's brother, have ordered their aides to work with Harry's household and Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government to come up with swift answers to the royal crisis.<br />
<br />
"The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge have directed their teams to work together at pace with government and the Sussex household to find workable solutions," a Buckingham Palace source said, according to multiple British media outlets.<br />
This process is "expected to take days, not weeks", the source added.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/madame-tussauds-removes-waxworks-of-harry-and-meghan-from-royal-family-display-273256">Madame Tussauds removes waxworks of Harry and Meghan from royal family display</a><br />
<br />
Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, rocked the monarchy on Wednesday with an announcement made without consulting any senior royals from the sovereign downwards. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meet-the-half-royals-prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-how-will-the-separation-from-the-family-work-out-for-the-couple-273295">Meet the half royals;&nbsp;how will the separation from the family work out for the couple?</a><br />
<br />
The couple said they would now "balance" their time between Britain and North America, rip up long-established relations with the press, and seek financial independence.<br />
<br />
They released their shock statement on a pre-prepared new website, their Instagram account and through Buckingham Palace's email communications system.<br />
<br />
An hour and 40 minutes later, the palace, seemingly rattled, issued a brief statement of its own, saying discussions were at an early stage and involved "complicated issues".<br />
<br />
The mood in the palace was understood to be one of disappointment and even "hurt", according to the BBC, while Thursday's newspapers were full of reports of a family "split" and the queen's "dismay".<br />
<br />
London's Evening Standard newspaper said they had "defied clear instructions from the queen" not to go public about any future plans at this time.<br />
<br />
It added senior courtiers had warned the couple "will be punished for this".<br />
<br />
Meanwhile Madame Tussauds London said it was moving its waxworks of the pair away from other top family figures "to reflect the upcoming change in the royal line-up".<br />
<br />
<strong>- 'Going Rogue' -</strong><br />
<br />
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said Harry and Meghan announcing this step without the 93-year-old monarch's blessing was "extraordinary".<br />
<br />
"This is symptomatic, clearly, of the fact that they are unhappy with royal roles and feel deeply pressurised," he told AFP.<br />
<br />
"They've chosen to... go rogue. The result, therefore, could have very serious consequences."<br />
<br />
The couple's decision follows a turbulent year, in which they admitted to struggling in the spotlight, and growing apart from William.<br />
They have also lashed out at negative news coverage and taken several papers to court -- another unusual move.<br />
<br />
"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.<br />
<br />
"We have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution."<br />
<br />
Meanwhile on their new website, they said they would no longer work with the royal rota -- a well-established system whereby media access is facilitated and the press take turns covering events and share the coverage.<br />
<br />
Instead the pair will attempt to invite only "specialist", "grassroots", "credible" and "young, up-and-coming" media to events.<br />
Royal analysts said the changes were unprecedented for senior family members.<br />
<br />
"We would have them as members of the royal family carrying out some official duties but also operating privately as well, and there isn't really a precedent for that," said expert Victoria Murphy.<br />
<br />
Britons passing Buckingham Palace on Thursday appeared surprised at the news. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
"They both knew what they were getting into and I think that they need to meet that challenge," said Roger Sainsbury, a member of the armed forces.<br />
<br />
<strong>- 'Different paths' -</strong><br />
<br />
Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are among the core members of the royal family and -- along with William and his wife Kate -- are seen as embodying the monarchy's future.<br />
<br />
They <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/meghan-markle-prince-harry-to-miss-christmas-in-uk-this-year-262066">spent six weeks over Christmas in Canada</a> after speaking of the pressure of being in the spotlight following their fairytale wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018 and son Archie's birth 12 months later.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/prince-harry-and-meghan-markles-possible-move-might-affect-canadian-taxpayers-273290">Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's possible move might affect Canadian taxpayers</a><br />
<br />
They skipped the royal family's traditional Christmas at Sandringham, the sovereign's private estate in eastern England, spending the festive season instead with Meghan's US mother Doria Ragland.<br />
<br />
Rumours that all was not well with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex surfaced in October when Harry -- sixth in line to the throne -- admitted that he and William were "on different paths" and had good and bad days in their relationship.<br />
<br />
Asked whether she was "not really OK" and if life had "really been a struggle" after becoming a mother and living under intense media scrutiny, Meghan appeared emotional and replied simply: "Yes."</p>

Queen Elizabeth II, heir to the throne Prince Charles and his eldest son Prince William, Harry's brother, have ordered their aides to work with Harry's household and Prime Minister Boris Johnson's government to come up with swift answers to the royal crisis. "The Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge have directed their teams to work together at pace with government and the Sussex household to find workable solutions," a Buckingham Palace source said, according to multiple British media outlets. This process is "expected to take days, not weeks", the source added. Madame Tussauds removes waxworks of Harry and Meghan from royal family display Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, rocked the monarchy on Wednesday with an announcement made without consulting any senior royals from the sovereign downwards. Meet the half royals; how will the separation from the family work out for the couple? The couple said they would now "balance" their time between Britain and North America, rip up long-established relations with the press, and seek financial independence. They released their shock statement on a pre-prepared new website, their Instagram account and through Buckingham Palace's email communications system. An hour and 40 minutes later, the palace, seemingly rattled, issued a brief statement of its own, saying discussions were at an early stage and involved "complicated issues". The mood in the palace was understood to be one of disappointment and even "hurt", according to the BBC, while Thursday's newspapers were full of reports of a family "split" and the queen's "dismay". London's Evening Standard newspaper said they had "defied clear instructions from the queen" not to go public about any future plans at this time. It added senior courtiers had warned the couple "will be punished for this". Meanwhile Madame Tussauds London said it was moving its waxworks of the pair away from other top family figures "to reflect the upcoming change in the royal line-up". - 'Going Rogue' - Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said Harry and Meghan announcing this step without the 93-year-old monarch's blessing was "extraordinary". "This is symptomatic, clearly, of the fact that they are unhappy with royal roles and feel deeply pressurised," he told AFP. "They've chosen to... go rogue. The result, therefore, could have very serious consequences." The couple's decision follows a turbulent year, in which they admitted to struggling in the spotlight, and growing apart from William. They have also lashed out at negative news coverage and taken several papers to court -- another unusual move. "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. "We have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution." Meanwhile on their new website, they said they would no longer work with the royal rota -- a well-established system whereby media access is facilitated and the press take turns covering events and share the coverage. Instead the pair will attempt to invite only "specialist", "grassroots", "credible" and "young, up-and-coming" media to events. Royal analysts said the changes were unprecedented for senior family members. "We would have them as members of the royal family carrying out some official duties but also operating privately as well, and there isn't really a precedent for that," said expert Victoria Murphy. Britons passing Buckingham Palace on Thursday appeared surprised at the news. "They both knew what they were getting into and I think that they need to meet that challenge," said Roger Sainsbury, a member of the armed forces. - 'Different paths' - Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, are among the core members of the royal family and -- along with William and his wife Kate -- are seen as embodying the monarchy's future. They spent six weeks over Christmas in Canada after speaking of the pressure of being in the spotlight following their fairytale wedding at Windsor Castle in May 2018 and son Archie's birth 12 months later. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's possible move might affect Canadian taxpayers They skipped the royal family's traditional Christmas at Sandringham, the sovereign's private estate in eastern England, spending the festive season instead with Meghan's US mother Doria Ragland. Rumours that all was not well with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex surfaced in October when Harry -- sixth in line to the throne -- admitted that he and William were "on different paths" and had good and bad days in their relationship. Asked whether she was "not really OK" and if life had "really been a struggle" after becoming a mother and living under intense media scrutiny, Meghan appeared emotional and replied simply: "Yes."
