Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Bid Fans Goodbye As They Quit Royal Family

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have thanked well-wishers and fans for their support in a moving goodbye message ahead of them quitting the Royal Family tomorrow.

They wrote:

“As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile. Yet we are confident that every human being has the potential and opportunity to make a difference—as seen now across the globe, in our families, our communities and those on the front line—together we can lift each other up to realize the fullness of that promise.

“What’s most important right now is the health and wellbeing of everyone across the globe and finding solutions for the many issues that have presented themselves as a result of this pandemic.

“As we all find the part we are to play in this global shift and changing of habits, we are focusing this new chapter to understand how we can best contribute.”

They shared the update on their SussexRoyal Instagram page – their final post on the account as the Queen banned them from using the word ‘royal’ in their branding.

They shared a graphic reading:

“Thank you to this community for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world.”

The couple, who are now living in LA with their son Archie, announced their plans to quit royal life in January, a decision which reportedly caused upset and anger behind Palace walls.

They used their final message, which they signed “Meghan and Harry” rather than using their official titles, to speak about the difficult times we’re currently in as the world battles coronavirus Covid-19.

“While you may not see us here, the work continues.

“Thank you to this community – for the support, the inspiration and the shared commitment to the good in the world. We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You’ve been great!

“Until then, please take good care of yourselves, and of one another.

“Harry and Meghan.”
