Princ Harry i vojvotkinja Meghan Markle više neće upotrebljavati svoje kraljevske titule i neće primati javna sredstva za kraljevske dužnosti, priopćila je Buckinghamska palača. Par također više neće formalno predstavljati kraljicu.

Vojvoda i vojvotkinja od Sussexa poručili su i da namjeravaju vratiti 2,4 milijuna funti poreznih obveznika koji su otišli za renovaciju njihove kuće Frogmore Cottage koja će i dalje ostati njihov obiteljski dom u Velikoj Britaniji. Ovaj novi aranžman stupa na snagu u proljeće ove godine, priopćila je Palača.

Žele postati financijski neovisni

Ova vijest stiže deset dana nakon što su princ Harry i supruga Meghan objavili da će se odreći uloge viših članova britanske kraljevske obitelji, raditi na tome da budu financijski neovisni i dio godine živjeti u Sjevernoj Americi.

“Namjeravamo se odreći uloge viših članova kraljevske obitelji kako bi radili i postali financijski neovisni, i dalje dajući punu podršku kraljici”, priopćili su tada.

“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.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

Problemi s tabloidima

Harry i Megan su posljednjih mjeseci govorili o tome da im teško pada medijski pritisak povezan s njihovom funkcijom, o kojem možete vidjeti i OVDJE.

Kažu da su odluku donijeli nakon višemjesečnih razgovora. “Planiramo rasporediti vrijeme između Velike Britanije i Sjedinjenih Država uz poštivanje naših dužnosti prema kraljici i zajednici”.
