Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, are quitting as working royals and will no longer use the titles "royal highness" or receive public funds for their work under a deal announced Saturday by Buckingham Palace.
The agreement also calls for Meghan and Harry to repay 2.4 million pounds ($3.1 million) in taxpayers' money that was spent renovating their home near Windsor Castle, Frogmore Cottage.
The couple's departure is a wrench for the royal family, but Queen Elizabeth II had warm words for them in a statement Saturday.
The queen said she was pleased that “together we have found a constructive and supportive way forward for my grandson and his family. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family.”
"I recognize the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life," Elizabeth said.
"It is my whole family's hope that today's agreement allows them to start building a happy and peaceful new life," she added.
The announcement came after days of talks among royal courtiers sparked by Meghan and Harry's announcement last week that they wanted to step down as senior royals and live part-time in Canada
The details of the deal solidify the couple's dramatic break from life as working royals. Army veteran Harry will have to give up the military appointments he has as a senior royal.
Buckingham Palace did not disclose who will pay for the couple's security going forward. It currently is taxpayer-funded.
"There are well established independent processes to determine the need for publicly funded security," it said.

Queen bumped Harry's mom.
Harry gets back at them and marries some C list celebrity sloot.
Sloot wants out, thinks the royals are nasty. (Andrew flying with Epstein didn't help)
Harry remembers what happened to his mom and nopes out of the Royal life and moves to Canada.
Queens mad, yeah she mad.
Not srs,
Probably fact tho.

The ultra tl;dr is that Harry and Megan don't want to deal with the **** being a part of the royal family entails and figured they could make an equal or better living own their own with their own brand while taking advantage of their connection to the royal family.
They thought they'd be able to have their cake and eat it to but Queen 86'd that

Seems pretty clear to me that *she* doesn't want to deal with it, and he's just trying to keep his marriage together. He's going to feel dumber than chit when he realizes he's allowed her to change him from the man she wanted into a man she doesn't want anymore and that he can't go back.
Poor guy. Should have known when it was time to ejaculate and evacuate. N'am sayin'? Inseminate and relocate? Shoot the jizz and out you is.Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.
