<p>On January 8, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/most-memorable-moments-of-prince-harry-and-meghan-274211">the Duke and Duchess of Sussex</a>, unveiled their controversial plan to walk away from royal roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“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 in a joint statement.</p>

<p>"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," the statement added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apparently, the announcement on the Sussex Royal Instagram page blindsided the Queen and other family members who had no idea it was coming, it sent tabloids into overdrive. Meanwhile, the Queen summoned Senior Royals to an emergency summit to discuss the future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Billed as <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/sandringham-summit-whos-who-at-the-royal-gathering-274052">the Sandringham summit</a>, the meeting took place at the Queen's estate in Norfolk and involved Queen Elizabeth II, Harry his father Prince Charles and his brother Prince William, with Meghan reportedly joining the discussions by phone from Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Soon after, the queen released a statement, that said, "My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Monarchy in Crisis?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>It looks like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have won the reluctant approval of the 93-year-old Queen. But what does their exit mean for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/kate-middleton-and-prince-williams-first-2020-public-appearance-274618">British monarchy</a>? And what really went wrong? &nbsp;</p>

<p>Let’s look at this and the other scandals that have rocked the British royal family, the world's most famous monarchy, in the last few decades:<br />
<br />
<strong>The Sussexes 'step back'&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Prince Harry was known as the 'rebel prince' much before he met Meghan on a blind date in mid-2016, set up by a mutual friend. The relationship moved quickly and the couple immediately became endless fodder for the tabloids. In November 2016, Harry’s communications secretary issued a statement condemning the British press’s torment of his girlfriend. This was the start of their troubled relationship with the tabloids. A year later, in November 2017, they got engaged. In an interview, Harry said he tried to warn his future wife 'as much as possible'&nbsp;about the inevitable media scrutiny, but the couple was still 'totally surprised'&nbsp;by it.</p>

<p>Despite these early setbacks, they got married at Windsor Castle in May 2017. American-born, biracial, divorced, former actress Meghan Markle, who also happened to be an independent and outspoken woman, became the Duchess of Sussex. A year later, she gave birth to Archie, the first baby of part African descent in the family. The couple’s relationship and the birth of their son were heralded by many as immensely symbolic moments of modern Britain. An example of the monarchy embracing modernity, but it was not to be.</p>

<p>Throughout it all, the British tabloids kept criticising the Sussex with most of the ire being directed at Meghan. A top-selling British tabloid dubbed their announcement as 'Megxit', putting the blame squarely on Meghan's shoulders. This isn't surprising since she has been at the receiving end for negative coverage by the British press. For issues ranging from her family background to cradling her baby bump, and even eating avocados. One British Radio host was even fired after posting a tweet where he compared their offspring to a baby chimpanzee. It's safe to assume that her race had something to do with her becoming the media's new punching bag.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For his part, Prince Harry has been vocal about what he sees as sexist and racist coverage, even making a statement comparing the treatment of his wife to that of his late mother Princess Diana, who tragically died in a crash as her driver sped away to escape the paparazzi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There was trouble on other fronts as well, rumours of a rift between Pince Harry and his older brother Prince William started emerging in March 2019. Around this time, Prince Harry and Meghan moved out of Kensington Palace. 2.4 million pounds of public money, which is about Rs 24 crores, was spent on upgrading their new official residence- Frogmore cottage. Soon after, the couple announced that they intend to split from their combined charity with the Cambridge and start their own charity, Sussex Royal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trouble was brewing in the Royal family and it started making headlines when they took part in an intimate documentary while on a tour to South Africa. They revealed the strain and pressure of living in the public eye. Meghan even said that her friends warned her not to marry Prince Harry because of the British tabloids and her husband declared that he would not be bullied into playing a game that killed his mother. In November, they announced that they will not be spending Christmas with other members of the Royal family. Opting for a six-week holiday in Canada instead where Meghan is currently residing. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly after their latest Instagram post, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gained 500,000 Instagram followers in just four days. They are now just 200,000 behind Prince William and Kate Middleton who have 10.8 million followers. In fact, when they joined Instagram last year on April 2, they made a Guinness World record for gaining 1 million fans within 6 hours<br />
&nbsp;<br />
So will Harry and Meghan keep their titles while stepping back from the royal life and moving overseas? Well, so far the Sussex has expressed no intentions of relinquishing their HRH (His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness) titles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now expected to split their time between the UK and Canada, a country that lies within the commonwealth. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has offered his support, saying most Canadians would welcome the couple making their home there. However, he also added that further talks are needed over the costs of security.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Which bring us to the question of money. Right now the two receive money from the sovereign grant, a fund set up by the UK government for the Royal family. Apart from this, between them, they are estimated to have a net worth of $30 million. An accumulation of Harry’s yearly allowance and inheritance from his mother Dian and Meghan’s TV earnings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As British royals, the couple is barred from earning their own cash, but this will change. So we may soon see them build celebrity empires like the Obamas or even the Kardashians. But by distancing themselves from the crown, one way or the other, they are certainly charting a new course.<br />

<strong>Prince Andrew's sex scandal&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The 'megxit bombshell' comes just months after the Duke of York, Prince Andrew was forced to step down from Royal duties, amid accusations of a sex scandal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prince Andrew, the second son and third child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip announced his decision after consulting both his mother and his brother&nbsp;Prince Charles, amid growing criticism following a television interview he gave about his friendship with the late convicted sex offender- Jeffrey Epstein who committed suicide in August last year while awaiting trial for sex trafficking.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Prince Andrew is accused of having sex with Epstein's alleged 'sex slave' Virginia Roberts when she was just 17. The Duke of York has denied these allegations. But the FBI is continuing to investigate the case to untangle his history with the shamed American financier and his human trafficking racket. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In a disastrous interview, Prince Andrew, eighth-in-line to the throne, defended his friendship with Epstein, leaving viewers across the world aghast. The outcry finally forced Buckingham Palace to distance itself from the disgraced Duke - many royal experts surmise that he will not return to public duties until he is fully cleared of any wrongdoing.</p>

<p>Interestingly, his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, affectionately known as Fergie, with whom he continues to share a home, has stood behind him through this controversy.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Sarah Ferguson's scandalous photo&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The Duchess of York faced her own crisis in 1992 when she was frozen out of the Royal Family after compromising photographs emerged of her on holiday with John Bryan, her financial advisor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Duke and Duchess of York tied the knot in 1986 - but just six years later their marriage ended in a scandal - they announced their separation in March 1992, but were still married when these photographs were published. They would go on to divorce in 1996.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The royal family didn’t want anything to do with Ferguson after the incident, but she was recently accepted into the Royal fold again and even attended the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Princess Diana’s Untimely Death<br />
&nbsp;</strong><br />
Half-past midnight, a black Mercedes crashed into a concrete pillar outside the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris. And the world lost Princess Diana - the people's Princess.</p>

<p>Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and their driver Henri Paul also died in the crash. Only one passenger survived - Trevor Rees-Jones - Fayed’s bodyguard.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the wake of the crash, given Princess Diana's complicated relationship with Prince Charles and the Queen herself, all kinds of conspiracy theories began to emerge. But in the 2008 inquest of Diana's death, it was concluded that paul’s drunk driving and speeding were to blame for the accident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, many questions remain unanswered - why were they not wearing seatbelts? Why didn't Princess Diana have her own bodyguards? And could Diana have been saved?&nbsp;</p>

<p>At her funeral in September 1997, her brother Charles Spencer blamed the paparazzi, describing his sister as “The most hunted person of the modern age".</p>

<p>And hunted she was on the night of the fateful crash, the couple was trying to evade the press.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Diana and Dodi Fayed died barely six weeks after beginning a romance - rumours of Diana's impending engagement and even a pregnancy meant that the couple was relentlessly pursued.</p>

<p>The Egyptian millionaire’s father, Mohamed al-Fayed, believed that Royal Family and British Secret Services were plotting against the marriage because they disapproved of the match.</p>

<p>Diana's activism and glamour made her an international icon, but the Princess of Wales faced difficulties within the royal family and in the public eye from the start.</p>

<p>Prince Charles married lady Diana spencer in 1981, and they welcomed Prince William in 1982 and Prince Harry in 1984, but their relationship was visibly strained. They separated in 1992, before formally divorcing in 1996.</p>

<p>Flouting tradition, in 1995, she gave an explosive interview to journalist Martin Bashir where she revealed that “There were three people in this marriage”, alluding to her husband’s affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, adding it was “a bit crowded.” She also admitted to an adulterous affair with her riding instructor, James Hewitt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A few weeks later, the Queen herself urged her son and daughter-in-law to divorce, and the following year, they made it official. Sadly, Princess Diana was killed just a year later. However, with these acts of defiance, she set a new precedent for the next generation of royals.</p>

<p><strong>Prince Charles and Camilla’s affair&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>On the other hand, Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, went on to wed Camilla in 2005, 34 years after their first meeting, and the two are still together.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Interestingly, a year before Diana's interview, he too publicly admitting to having an affair. His confession sent ripples through the Royal Family.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time, the public largely blamed Prince Charles’ relationship with Camilla for the breakdown of his marriage to Diana - it became the scandal of the decade.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Princess Margaret, the original rebel &nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Queen Elizabeth II has been the central figure of Britain's monarchy for more than six decades. Head of state of the United Kingdom and 15 commonwealth nations, she married Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh in 1947. They have four children, eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The queen only had one sibling – Princess Margaret, the late countess of Snowdon. The two sisters could not have been more different. While the British monarch is famously staid and consistent, her younger sister was known as a rebellious royal, ‘a&nbsp;wild child'.</p>

<p>She fell in love with group captain Peter Townsend, a royal air force officer and the equerry to her father King George.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from being a commoner, peter was also a divorcee, and divorcees weren't allowed to remarry in the church of England, which Princess Margaret's sister was the head of.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After facing much opposition, the Princess cut off all ties with Townsend and went on to marry photographer Antony Armstrong-Jones in 1960 - the first royal marriage to be broadcast on television. &nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the Royal marriage soon started to crumble and after years of infidelity by both partners, the couple separated. It was the first royal divorce since King Henry VIII's in 1540. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>King Edward VIII Abdicates&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>In December 1936, the Queen's uncle - King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne to marry his lover Wallis Simpson - an American socialite who was divorced from her first husband and was pursuing the divorce of her second. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Being the British Monarch, King Edward VIII was also the head of the Church of England and was forbidden to marry a divorcee. and so he abdicated the throne after ruling for less than a year. Thereafter, he took the title Duke of Windsor and embarked on a life with his new wife in Paris.</p>

<p>And now, more than eight decades later, Prince Harry is set to follow on his footsteps. The circumstances surrounding Prince Harry and King Edward VIII’s royal status decisions are very different. Harry is not the king, but he is set to become a ‘part-time’ royal, having made a decision to quit or reject the royal life and defying the British monarchy.&nbsp;</p>

Queen Elizabeth II today agreed to a "period of transition" for Harry and Meghan in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK, Her Majesty said in a statement. "Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family," Queen Elizabeth II said, adding, "My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new life as a young family. Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family." Watch Video: "It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK," the Queen announced. "These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days," the Queen said. Queen Elizabeth added, "Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives."

She called the discussions "very constructive". Earlier in the day, Prince William and Harry in a joint statement had said that "despite clear denials, a false story ran on UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge." UK's Times newspaper had reported earlier that Prince William had allegedly said that the two brothers were now "separate entities" and that he could no longer put his arm around his brother. The Times of London had reported that Meghan and Harry, felt "pushed away" by William's "bullying attitude." However, in a joint statement, Harry and William denied the report. “Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge. For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful,” Prince Harry and William said in a joint statement. The Times had quoted Prince William as saying: "I've put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can't do that any more; we're separate entities," The revelation about his brother Prince Harry reportedly came after the shocking announcement that he and his wife Meghan were stepping back from royal duties. Prince William made the comments to a friend, reported The Times. Earlier on Thursday, Queen Elizabeth demanded that staff work with the couple to find urgently a "workable solution" that includes their demands for more freedom. On Wednesday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped a bombshell where they said that intended to step back and become "financially independent" while fully supporting the Queen.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will step back from senior roles in Britain's royal family and spend more time in North America, they said on January 8, an announcement that appears to have taken his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, by surprise. After a turbulent year which saw a widening rift with the media and a falling-out with elder brother Prince William, Harry said the couple hoped to become financially independent and set up a new charity while continuing some royal duties. #Royals #PrinceHarry #SeniorRoyals #Meghan #Queen #RoyalSplit #Sussexes

<p>Britain`s Prince William is worried about his brother after Prince Harry and wife Meghan spoke out about their struggle to live under a global spotlight, the BBC reported.<br />
<br />
The Corporation quoted a palace source as saying there was a view that the couple were "in a fragile place". William was worried about his younger brother and hoping that they "are all right", the source said.</p>

<p>Prince Harry, Queen Elizabeth`s grandson, has issued a number of emotional statements in recent months condemning the behaviour of the tabloid press and launching legal action in response to what he has called "bullying" by some sections of the media.<br />

On Sunday the ITV television channel broadcast a documentary that was filmed during the couple`s recent tour of Africa.

<p>The Duke of Sussex has been plagued by rumours in recent months of a rift between him and Prince William, and in an interview with ITV he acknowledged that "inevitably stuff happens" given their high-profile role and the pressure the family faces.<br />
<br />
Speaking during his recent tour of southern Africa with his wife Meghan Markle, he said, "We are brothers. We will always be brothers.<br />
"We are certainly on different paths at the moment but I will always be there for him as I know he will always be there for me.<br />

"We don't see each other as much as we used to because we are so busy but I love him dearly.<br />

Meghan, 38, has had to face an increasingly hostile press since she married into the Royal Family last year, with the tabloids luxuriating in stories about her fractured American family and the rumours of palace rifts.&nbsp;<br />

Prince Harry admits he and Prince William are 'on different paths'

<p>Reacting to reports of a rift with his brother Prince William, Prince Harry said that the two have both good days&nbsp;and bad days&nbsp;and added that the two are on different paths at the moment.<br />
<br />
The Duke opened up about his relationship with brother William in the documentary 'Harry &amp; Meghan: An African Journey'&nbsp;which aired on Sunday. On being asked if the rumors of a rift between the two were true, the royal laughed and said the two are on different paths in life.<br />
<br />
"Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it's under, inevitably stuff happens. But look, we're brothers, we'll always be brothers. We're certainly on different paths at the moment but I'll always be there for him and as I know he'll always be there for me," the Duke said in the documentary, cited by a news agency.<br />
<br />
Harry also accepted the fact that the brother bond isn't the same anymore and they "don't see each other as much as we used to". "Because we're so busy, but I love him dearly. The majority of this stuff [in the press&nbsp;is created out of nothing, but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days," the royal continued.<br />
<br />
The news comes after Harry and wife Meghan Markle in May, ended their involvement in the royal foundation set up with William and wife Kate Middleton following rumors of a division between the couples.<br />
<br />
The British press had earlier reported the trouble aroused due to tension between the royal sisters-in-law, however, royal watchers including filmmaker Nick Bullen had suggested that it was between the siblings.<br />
<br />
"All brothers fall out. All families fall out. Their fallout at the moment is becoming public," he had told news agency in March.</p>

Prince William and wife Kate meet Imran Khan, Pakistan's PM and friend of Diana

<p>Prince William and his wife Kate flew near the Afghan border to visit a remote Hindu Kush glacier Wednesday, after a morning spent trying on feathered traditional caps and luxurious shawls in Pakistan's mountainous north.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The British royals travelled by helicopter to a glacier in Broghil Valley National Park to see the effects of climate change in one of the most glaciated areas of the world.</p>

<p>Residents of the region have been sounding the alarm over its melting glaciers, which caused devastating floods in 2015 that left thousands of families camping in the open just as another cold winter approached.</p>

<p>The Duke of Cambridge called the glacial melt an "impending catastrophe" in a speech delivered at a glittering reception in Islamabad late Tuesday.</p>

<p>The couple met with environmental experts to discuss the melting before going on to spend their afternoon with the Kalash -- an ancient, polytheistic tribe who celebrate their gods with music and dance.</p>

<p>The verdant, plunging valleys of the northern Chitral district have long attracted tourists for their natural beauty and their brush with legend as the home of the Kalash, who claim ancestry from Alexander the Great.</p>

<p>Activists have campaigned to preserve the traditions of the diminishing tribe, now estimated to number around only 3,000 people, making them Pakistan's smallest religious minority.</p>

<p>- 'Complex' tour -<br />
Earlier, during a refuelling stop on the way to the glacier, the Duke and Duchess tried on a Chitrali cap given a touch of luxury with a peacock feather, which local media said was a gift to them from residents.</p>

<p>The flat, woollen hats, also known as "pakols", are popular in northern Pakistan and throughout Afghanistan, though feather decorations are usually reserved for special occasions.

<p>The couple had lunch Tuesday with Prime Minister Imran Khan -- an old friend of William's mother, the late Princess Diana.</p>

<p>They also signalled their support for women's education by visiting a girls school in Islamabad, and helped local children set a leopard camera trap in the Margalla Hills, the Himalayan foothills just outside Islamabad.</p>

<p>Later, they arrived in a brightly painted rickshaw -- usually banned in Islamabad -- for the evening reception at the Pakistan National Monument.</p>

<p>According to the magazine People, the Royal Foundation site has removed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from their "principals" section leaving just Kate and William. Prince William is also credited with founding the organization despite starting it with his younger brother in 2009.</p>

<p>Although Prince Harry and Meghan`s previous work is still listed under the website`s 'news'&nbsp;section, their personal projects including Harry`s Invictus Games and Meghan`s community cookbook, all have been removed from the website.

<p>The name of the website has been changed to `The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.`</p>

<p>The Royal Foundation website now contains only five main areas of focus: mental health, conservation, service, young people and early years, Kate`s initiative to focus on the critical first years of a child`s development.</p>

<p>"With a greater focus on the early years, The Duchess of Cambridge believes we can better provide solid social and emotional platforms for children to make them healthier and more resilient later in life," according to the website.</p>

<p>"Her Royal Highness and The Royal Foundation have brought academics, practitioners, and charities together to form a steering group to develop a significant new body of work that will ultimately support all efforts to provide children with the best possible start in life. This has been a major body of work and will be unveiled later this year," the website added.</p>

<p>In July, Meghan and Harry announced the creation of their new charity, known as `Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex`."Both couples will continue to work together on projects in the future, including on The Foundation`s mental health program, Heads Together," the palace said in a statement earlier this year.</p>

<p>"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are incredibly proud of what they have achieved together through The Royal Foundation. They are especially proud to have established a charity that has had, and will continue to have, significant long-lasting impact, changing lives for the better," the statement continued.</p>

<p>The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated Pakistani culture during their recent visit to the Aga Khan Centre in London.</p>

<p>They were there to meet key figures in the community, including musicians, chefs, and artists, reported People. At the event, the Royal couple said that they were looking forward to trying the food in Pakistan during the tour.</p>

<p>Kate then revealed that she often cooks a special curry at home, and typically makes a mild version for their kids; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and a spicier one for her and William.</p>

<p>"It's so hard cooking curry with the family though," she said. "The children have a portion with no spice, yours is medium," she said to William. "And I quite like it hot," she added.</p>

<p>In fact, the couple's daughter, Princess Charlotte, is just like her mother when it comes to eating habits, as Kate said, "Charlotte is pretty good with heat."</p>

<p>William also told the guests that he likes his food medium spicy; something that one person told him does not exist in Pakistan. "Me and heat, not so good. I love spice but not heat," he said.</p>

<p>"I'm looking forward to it anyway. I'm going to need a bigger suit," he added.</p>

<p>They were asked how they like to relax, and they shared that they order takeout and watch their favourite shows, including 'Homeland'&nbsp;and 'Game of Thrones'.</p>

<p>"Absolutely and curry -- definitely!" Kate said while William added that the order doesn't get delivered to the palace. "Normally someone goes and picks it up," he said.</p>

Kate and William will be by her side for her first day of school. There will be unofficial school portraits from Charlotte and George`s first day," the statement read. News broke in May that she would join George at Thomas`s Battersea, which is about three miles from the royal family`s home. "We are delighted that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have decided that Princess Charlotte will join her elder brother, Prince George, at Thomas`s Battersea," Simon O`Malley, headmaster at the school, said in a statement at that time. William and Kate are also proud parents to 16-month-old Prince Louis.

Here's how Prince William, Prince Harry honour Princess Diana on death anniversary every year

<p>Kate Middleton and Prince William have officially changed the name of their charity which they previously shared with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.<br />
<br />
The organisation`s name has officially been changed to reflect the exit of Harry and Meghan.<br />
<br />
The charitable organisation was originally known as `The Royal Foundation` when it was founded in 2009 by the royal brothers, William and Harry.<br />
<br />
Now, William and Kate`s charity has gotten a new name. The name has been changed to `The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge` from the previous title, `The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex`.<br />
<br />
The two royal couples announced their split earlier this year."These changes are designed to best complement the work and responsibilities of Their Royal Highnesses as they prepare for their future roles, and to better align their charitable activity with their new households," a statement from Kensington Palace explained at that time.<br />
<br />
E! News confirmed in July that Meghan and Harry`s new organisation will be called `Sussex Royal The Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex` or `Sussex Royal` for short.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While the paperwork is all set, the new name is not yet in effect on the foundation`s website. Despite rumours of a feud, the royal pairs put on a united front when it came time to announce the news of their organisational split.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are incredibly proud of what they have achieved together through The Royal Foundation," a June statement said.<br />
<br />
"They are especially proud to have established a charity that has had, and will continue to have, significant long-lasting impact, changing lives for the better," the statement added.<br />
<br />
In the spring, the royal couples separated their joint "court" at Kensington Palace by creating two different offices.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Meghan and Harry`s office moved out of Kensington Palace and into Buckingham Palace, where the Queen resides.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
William and Kate`s office is still in Kensington Palace, where they live with their three children. Since then, Meghan and Harry have moved to Windsor Castle`s Frogmore Cottage with their son Archie and launched their own Instagram page.&nbsp;</p>
