LONDON (AP) — Goodbye, your royal highnesses. Hello, life as—almost--ordinary civilians. Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, are quitting as working royals and will no longer use the titles "royal highness" or receive public funds for their work under a deal announced Saturday by Buckingham Palace. The palace said Harry and Meghan will cease to be working members of the royal family when the new arrangements take effect within months, in the “spring of 2020.” They will be known as Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

I suspect this probably isn´t quite what Meg had in mind when she married Harry. She thought she could have it all: a lucrative career, palaces, chauffers and Bentleys, tiaras, servants, entree into the London elite (not the rock stars, the real elites), nannies galore, and all the rest of it. I don´t think she realized how tight the Windsors really are. The Queen is cagey and wise, and she´s likely seen every kind of phony imaginable. Meg never had a chance of putting one past the Queen or Prince Charles.
He´s giving up a lot for her, and yet he´ll still be well taken care of by Prince Charles - and he already has $40,000,000 or so from his mother. Still, Neghan has clearly been taken down a notch -- or three.

Let them relo to Amsterdam or Haight-Ashbury, and they won't necessarily have to lose the 'highness' part...

They will apparently still be able to refer to themselves as Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and that is what is important for commercial value and Hollywood high society, especially for Meghan, as very few people in North America care or know the significance of the prefix His or Her Royal Highness or (HRH).
The next bet should be when Harry and Meghan move to Los Angeles?

I thought they planned to move to US after Trump is no longer president - probably Los Angeles.
The question that is not answered is who pays for their security. You can bet that they won't pay for it.

They won’t move to L.A. for at least another 5 years, #3.

It’s hard to trust a woman who convinced her husband to give up his family, title, home & country ! She’s going Hollywood again! Charities don’t pay enough for her life style.

Surely they can still wear crowns and carry scepters, or at least rhinestone encrusted plungers.

This easy peasy lady has a historical pattern of using and dumping men to achieve her goals. Will Harry be next? The oddsmaker says, .....YES! Why? Could it be because she sought advice and guidance from a dysfunctional couple like "the Clintons" and "the Obamas"? Wait! ...also from, ELTON JOHN!

“ They will be known as Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.“
I can think of a lot of other things they will be known as.

As an American I have trouble relating to The Royals. The closest I can come is when the WWE dropped King of the Ring. Or perhaps Charlotte Flair being crowed Queen of the Ring. The Brits would be better off if they dispensed with this nonsense and turned Buckingham Place into Disney World.

His daddy will still pay the bills. Megan will be the working bread winner. What in the world will a young man who has never worked do to earn money? He will find out how boring life can be with nothing to do. He is going from taking orders from the Queen to taking orders from Megan. He really should have listened to Prince William or at least read the fine print. What a dunce!

Markle remains a low-breed American actress. Once a low-breed American actress, always a low-breed American actress.

I noticed the coincidence last year with Hallmark producing all of those "royal" movies. I guess "being royal" isn't so sought after anymore?
