The announcement made via the official social media pages of Sussex Royal came as a shock to the world and it has sparked a buzzing discussion online with diverse opinions.
A new report by The Sun has indicated that the Queen and other royal family members are hurt by Prince Harry and Meghan’s news because family members were not pre-informed about their decision.
“The Queen is said to be 'disappointed' that no other family members were consulted before the statement was sent out,” The Sun wrote.
The Duke, 34, and Duchess, 38, said in their surprise statement that “We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity”.
