Putera Harry dan Meghan Markle, The Duke And Duchess Of Sussex membuat keputusan mengejutkan apabila mengeluarkan kenyataan rasmi di laman Instagram, memaklumkan mereka bakal berundur daripada sistem keluarga Diraja England.
Menerusi kenyataan terbabit, pasangan ini mengumumkan akan melepaskan takhta sebagai ahli senior dalam Keluarga Diraha dan akan bekerja mencari sumber kewangan sendiri bagi menyara kehidupan.
Bagaimanapun, pasangan ini tetap akan akan terus menyokong Ratu England.
Menurut muat naik tersebut, pasangan diraja ini mempunyai perancangan ini menyeimbangkan kehidupan di United Kingdom dan Amerika Utara demi membesarkan anak dalam tradisi diraja sebenar.
“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,” kongsi mereka.
Menurut laporan CNN, Queen Elizabeth dikatakan sangat kecewa dengan tindakan tersebut, malah pengumuman tersebut didakwa tanpa mendapat persetujuan dan nasihat.
