The Duke and Duchess prepared for just about every question that would come their way after announcing their decision, and they published their answers to those anticipated questions on the Sussex Royal website to provide clarity on “existing and future funding arrangements.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle shocked the world on Wednesday when they announced that they were stepping down from their roles as senior members of the royal family.

This means that they will no longer receive funding through the Sovereign Grant, which is “the annual funding mechanism of the monarchy that covers the work of the Royal Family in support of HM The Queen, including expenses to maintain official residences and workspaces.”

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex say that they are looking forward to being members of the Royal Family with financial independence, and they are also excited about continuing their charity work.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle explained that they made this choice because they take great pride in their work and value the ability to earn a professional income, which is something they can’t do under the current structure.
