In the social media post, the couple revealed they plan to split their time between the UK and North America. "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," they wrote. "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." The Duke and Duchess have long had a fraught relationship with sections of the British media. In October last year, the couple announced that Meghan was suing the Mail on Sunday newspaper, alleging it had illegally published a private letter to her father -- a claim the newspaper denies. At the same time, Harry launched an emotional attack on the UK tabloid press for what he called a "ruthless campaign" against his wife. He likened their treatment of her to that faced by his mother. Princess Diana died in 1997 when her car crashed as it was being pursued by members of the paparazzi. Foster said the couple "will feel that they can win these court cases on the basis that they do have a right to a private life." "It's always the argument with members of the royal family: Do they have a right to a private life when they're receiving public money? And they're basically saying, 'Okay, you win, we're out,'" he added. The Sussexes' decision to step back from leading roles within the royal family means they will "no longer participate in the Royal Rota system," which gives UK broadcasters and newspapers access to royal engagements, according to the official SussexRoyal website.
Star-studded wedding
Harry, 35, the younger son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and Meghan, a former actor best known for her role in legal drama Suits, 38, met in 2016. They were married in a lavish, star-studded ceremony at St. George's Chapel in Windsor in May 2018. The couple welcomed their first child, son Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, in May 2019. The Sussexes and baby Archie spent the recent Christmas holidays in Canada with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland.DISCLAIMER: The Views, Comments, Opinions, Contributions and Statements made by Readers and Contributors on this platform do not necessarily represent the views or policy of Multimedia Group Limited.
