UPDATE: The Queen has reacted to the shocking news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are stepping back from their roles in the Royal Family, by releasing the following statement from Buckingham Palace:
Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British Royal Family and plan to work towards becoming "financially independent," the couple shockingly announced on Instagram on Wednesday 8th January 2020. This essentially means they will no longer receive money from taxpayers. The couple and their baby son, Archie, spent the recent Christmas holidays in Canada.

The unprecedented move comes after a year of what the couple described in an October interview as "unfair" and "untrue" media coverage that took a heavy toll on their lives.
Read the couple’s full statement below. 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. 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. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.
According to TMZ, the move to ‘North America’ is actually Canada, a British Commonwealth nation, where Meghan has some roots. She filmed "Suits" in Toronto where she rented a house.
