The real reason they wish to quit is because Royal Family life prevented them earning a “professional” income. Therefore the couple wanted the opportunity to carry out duties for the Queen while also being able to work externally.This would therefore enable them in the long run to become even more wealthy and powerful without having to adhere to strict royal laws. Therefore the Sussexes have opted to release their “financial tie” of five percent costs (that total £5 million pounds yearly) they receive from the Queen, as they seek to build their own empire across the pond.

The Sovereign Grant that the couple previously received “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 website also states that there are other members of the royal family who hold a title but earn a separate income, but does not share their identity.

It also stresses that Meghan and Prince Harry, are keen to remain part of the Queen’s legacy and continue to support her work, if called upon.

However the website have implied that they have not always perhaps agreed with the Queens patronage choices.

“There is sometimes overlap based on their interests.”

Which adds fuel to the fire that there has been ongoing tension between the Sussexes and the monarchy for years.

Twitter users have been quick to express their dismay at the news of Meghan and Harry’s royal departure.

One user said: “It takes a special sense of narcissism & self absorption to allow British taxpayers to fund your extravagant wedding and spend 2.5 million remodelling your house & then quit publicly on Instagram without a word to the Queen prior. Bravo Harry & Meghan.”

A second replied: “More These two idiots have announced they are stepping down from public life. Oh my God, what will we do without them? Impossible to replace them (since we could never figure out what they actually did) “

While a third added “It’s simple folks. #meghanmarkle wasn’t the centre of attention when living with the royal family. She’s moving to Canada where she can once again be the centre of attention. It’s that simple.”

It comes after claims that Meghan might be returning to acting, after quitting her job on TV show Suits to become Prince Harry’s wife.

In an interview with the Evening Standard last year Wendell Pierce,who played Meghan’s on-screen father in Suits, said he hoped she might get the opportunity to act again.

“I know protocol doesn’t allow her to do it now, but to be going through this experience here with Death of a Salesman, I wish this on every actor.”

At the moment it is not clear how Harry and Meghan plan to achieve their “financial independence”, although for the mean time they do have Harry’s £30 million net worth and Meghan’s lesser £4 million to fall back on.

Meanwhile the Queen is said to be dismayed by the announcement of the couples departure, and blindsided by the news after receiving no prior warning.

In a terse statement, Buckingham Palace said: “Discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”

The couple enjoyed a lavish ceremony in May 2018 at Windsor Castle,  and have since decided to up sticks across to Meghan’s old stomping ground of Canada.
