The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announce they will be stepping back as senior members of the royal family.
The couple said they want to become financially independent and focus on their family.
In a statement, the couple said: "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."
The couple said they plan to balance their time between the UK and North America, and will continue to "fully support" the Queen.
They added: "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.
