Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not be returning as working royals, Buckingham Palace officially announced on Feb. 19. Following their 12-month review period, Queen Elizabeth II confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have stepped away from “the work of the royal family” and that their “honorary military appointments and royal patronages” have been returned to her until they are eventually redistributed among other members of the royal family. Even though the couple were stripped from their roles, Harry and Meghan will keep their royal titles (at least for now, anyway).
When Harry and Meghan first announced their royal exit in January 2020, it was understood that they would keep their HRH styles but not actively use them and that they would continue to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton, and the Baron and Baroness Kilkeel. As of now, this has not changed.
Harry will also continue his work with the Invictus Games and his Sentebale charity, while Meghan will remain patron of the Mayhew animal welfare charity and Smart Works.
