By: Kate Kennelly Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has publicly announced that he and his wife Megan Markle plan on stepping back as working members of the royal family. They will no longer be using third titles or royalty. Prince Harry gave a speech in which he told people about his decision. He has decided that he is stepping away from his position in royalty, though he still plans to serve the queen. He has made this decision in hopes that he can pursue peace and raise his family. He also stated, “We’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you.” Harry still plans on being active in the many charities he works with, like supporting those living with HIV in Southern Africa. His speech was very moving, as he also addressed losing his mother. He thanked everyone for taking him under their wing when his mother passed away 23 years ago, when he was just a young boy. Prince Harry did not address what he planned on doing with his family in his speech. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex originally lived at Nottingham Cottage in London. They then moved to Frogmore Cottage, in the Home Park of Windsor Castle. This is the new home of their son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor. While they enjoyed having their son there for the first few months, they wanted a better life. They have made the decision to live in London for half of the year to be near the royal family, and in the US for the other half. They are doing this because both of them agree that they want to have a family oriented life. In order to achieve this, they feel that being near both sides of the family is very important. While The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have certainly faced some negative criticism and backlash, I admire the decision they have made. I think it is actually very honorable to give up a huge position, and their whole life, to raise your family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are leaving royalty because they believe this is best for their son and their family.
