They shared this news on their official Instagram page, SussexRoyal. This information was met with shock from the world, not least the antagonistic Piers Morgan, and especially the Royal Family, who appear to not have expected the announcement.
But even as these parties have expressed their shock (somehow negative) to the news, the majority of the world is in a celebratory mood following the drama that has trailed the couple since their wedding.
Shortly after their wedding, Meghan Markle was attacked by the British press and her family for several reasons, so much that she had to drag some British newspapers to court in a case that is still ongoing.
Now, it appears that after the years, the couple have decided to take a step back from being senior royals, and accordingly, the queen has released a statement in reaction.
From her reaction, it seems like the Queen did not know about the couple’s decision to step back after their short vacation in Canada.
