The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have confirmed they will not be returning as working members of the royal family, Buckingham Palace has announced. Harry and Meghan quit as senior working royals in March 2020 to earn their own money in the US, where they have signed deals with Spotify and Netflix estimated to be worth more than £100 million. Royal expert Angela Levin has claimed the Queen was fed up with the couple and their decision to have an interview with Oprah was too risky .

In a major blow to former soldier Harry, he is no longer the Captain General of the Royal Marines, Honorary Air Force Commandant of the Royal Air Force Base Honington, or Honorary Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Naval Commands Small Ships and Diving.
He has also had to give up his role as president of The Queen s Commonwealth Trust.
And Harry will stop being patron of the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League - which he took over from his grandmother.
