It has been six years since Harry and Meghan shocked the world by quitting their royal roles.
In January 2020, the couple announced plans to move to the United States and become financially independent.
Despite stepping back from official duties, Harry and Meghan still retain their royal titles as Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The late Queen granted the titles on their 2018 wedding day, and the couple continues to use them.
However, many observers question why the titles remain, as the pair no longer carry out duties for King Charles.
Since leaving royal life, Harry and Meghan have made a series of claims about their royal family.
They aired grievances in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, a Netflix documentary, and Harry’s memoir, Spare.
Following these revelations, the Royal Family reportedly discussed stripping their titles at the highest level.
In a 2023 interview with Anderson Cooper, Harry addressed why they had not relinquished the titles.
He answered with a six-word explanation: “And what difference would that make?”
Cooper pressed further about their public disclosures and private efforts to address family issues.
Harry explained that attempts to handle matters privately triggered briefings, leaks, and negative media stories.
He added that the family motto, “never complain, never explain,” no longer held practical value for him.
One immediate consequence of Megxit was losing his automatic right to armed police protection in the UK.
However, recent reports suggest Harry has won a significant battle to restore UK security for himself and his family.
A source close to the Sussexes told reporters that following a new risk assessment, “security is now nailed-on for Harry.”
Harry previously lost a Court of Appeal case challenging Home Office decisions on protection arrangements.
He argued that limited security made it unsafe to bring Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, to the UK.
Now, with the Home Office review complete, the Sussex family appears set to regain enhanced protection during UK visits.
Harry and Meghan continue to navigate life between the US and the UK while maintaining their royal titles and public profile.
Their decisions remain at the centre of debate over royal duties, personal freedoms, and public scrutiny.
