The couple will transition out of royal life on 1 April 

After 1 April, the couple will no longer represent the Queen at home or abroad and will split their time between the UK and North America. Harry and Meghan announced in January that they no longer wished to be senior working members of the Royal Family, although they had initially hoped to represent the monarch in some capacity. It is not yet known whether they will be able to continue to use the brand Sussex Royal, which they use for their Instagram account and website.

This week, a royal source told HELLO! that the topic was still being considered, saying: "As The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are stepping back as senior members of the Royal Family and will work towards financial independence, use of the word 'Royal', in this context, needed to be reviewed. Discussions are still ongoing. As part of the process to transition The Duke and Duchess of Sussex into their new chapter - planning has been well underway around the launch of their new non-profit organisation. Details will be shared in due course."
