Buckingham Palace Faces This Major Change After Meghan, Harry Exit

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are moving on with their lives after #MEGXIT, but its left Buckingham Palace needing to revise a major detail in its guidance -- what to call those who lose their His or Her Royal Highness titles.

A statement from Her Majesty The Queen and Buckingham Palace last week stated that Meghan and Harry "will not use their HRH titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family." The couple instead, beginning in the spring, will be referred to as "Harry, Duke of Sussex" and "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex." However, CNN reported that the Palace is rethinking its guidelines after many observed that the new title makes it sound like Meghan is divorced.

Looking at former members of the British royal family, the outlet noted that the same formatting was adopted by Sarah Ferguson. Since her divorce from Prince Andrew in 1996, she has been addressed as "Sarah, Duchess of York." The same is true for Harry's late mother who was known as Diana, Princess of Wales after her divorce from Prince Charles.

While Buckingham Palace works on updating its guidance, Harry and Meghan are starting their new chapter in Canada with their son, 8-month-old Archie Harrison. According to sources, though, the family is rumored to ultimately want to settle down in the United States.

"It’s by no means an immediate thing but there is a long-term plan to end up back in the U.S. with a second home in Canada, where they will also spent [sic] a great deal of time," an insider told The Daily Mail. "The couple used the words North America in their statement about where they planned to live deliberately. It doesn’t pin them down to any one place."

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the announcement that they would be stepping down as senior members of the royal family on Jan. 8.

“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution," they captioned the Instagram post. "We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."
