a deal has been agreed on the future of
the Duke and Duchess of Sussex so to
step down as working Royals in the
spring buckingham palace confirmed on
Saturday the Prince Harry and his wife
Megan will no longer receive public
funds they won't use their royal titles
either they've also said that they want
to pay back taxpayers money spent on
renovating their home in Windsor they
plan to spend most of their time living
in Canada
Daniel Ralph is outside Buckingham
Palace well Harry and Megan had said
that they had wanted to step back from
their royal duties but this is much more
than that they're not just stepping back
they are stepping away entirely from
royal life it was clearly felt by senior
members of the royal family that this
idea of a role that was a hybrid half in
half out just wasn't viable that there
needed to be this clean break for
clarity and they would now step away
entirely from their royal life so that
means no more public money they won't
have the HRH his and her royal highness
titles and they will forge a different
role from them to themselves outside of
the royal family and largely based out
of North America they will still have
some money some private funds from the
Prince of Wales Harry's father but you
have to presume that they will now have
to produce some kind of commercial
interests alongside their charity work
how will that look how will they decide
the kind of deals that they're going to
do the royal family has not set any
boundaries around that there are no
rules and regulations instead they've
just been told one thing Harry and Megan
have been told that any commercial
activity that they pursue should uphold
the values of the Queen now that's quite
a broad statement it's perhaps a little
bit vague in terms of the decisions they
make but going forward this will in many
ways be a test of the integrity of Harry
and Megan in terms of the kind of
decisions they make and how they make
this plan work going forward in a year's
time this will all be looked at senior
members of the royal family will gather
together together and have a sort of
oversight over the past year just to see
if this is all working and whether this
can be made permanent for Harry and
Megan I don't need a Ralph there
