Last year, Meghan and Harry took a major decision due to several factors beyond their control. Meghan had already embraced motherhood by that time and the couple, with their son Archie, relocated to America after a brief halt in Canada. NBC News mentions that, subsequently, Meghan suffered a miscarriage and recently said she and Harry were expecting an addition to their family. However, they are set to lose their place in Britain's royal family because of their decision.

NBC News says Buckingham Palace made the announcement. It said Harry and Meghan would not return as working members of the royal family.

Queen Elizabeth II had talked to Harry before arriving at a decision. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex held honorary military appointments and royal patronages. These would revert to Her Majesty, and she would re-distribute them.
