A few hours after knowing this decision that has faltered the Windor monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II made public her distaste for this change in the life of her grandson, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, who married in May 2018 and they had their first child, Archie, a year later.
The last step of the Sussex in this way to get away from the royal house has been to present their new and own website, which details the new policy that the couple will maintain with the media, analyzes the future of their charities and explains also how they will be financed.
Thus, they will renounce their public salary from the Sovereign Grant, that is, the item that the British Government pays annually to the British Royal Family, which accounted for 5% of the Sussex expenses and was used only for their official expenses . Instead, they plan to earn money through trade agreements that are now prohibited from receiving. "The dukes are proud of their work and are committed to their solidarity work, in addition to wanting to put new actions in motion"
Of course, according to Sussexroyal.com, the couple will continue to live in Frogmore Cottage, with the permission of the Queen (owned by the monarch), and taxpayers will finance their security. "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are classified as internationally protected people who demand this level of security," they clarify on the web.
Markle and Prince Harry also detail on their new page what the relationship with the media will be like from now on: the news and official communications about their acts will be disseminated through their own channels and not those of the royal family , since they want to "remodel and expand access to their work". And they will only invite specialized media to the different commitments they make.
"Similarly, like all members of society, they also value privacy as individuals and as a family," said the new Dukes of Sussex.
