Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will no longer serve as sponsors for various organizations after confirmation of their actual departure.
In early 2020, the pair announced that they would step away from real life and agreed to revisit their decision in a year. After moving to California, they chose to make their lives permanent outside their real duties.
In a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday, it was revealed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “will be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of the Royal Family”.
Sponsorships, according to the Royal Family website, “generally reflect the interests of the Royal Family member involved”.
