Hello and welcome to bbc news. Buckingham palace has announced the new arrangements for prince harry and his wife meghan, saying theyll no longer be working members of the royal family and will no longer use their titles of Royal Highness. Harry and meghan will step back from royal duties, but will continue to be patrons of charities theyve chosen to support. In a personal statement Queen Elizabeth said she supports the couples wish for a more independent life. Our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell, has our first report, it contains some flashing images. The deal has been done. They are walking away from the british monarchy. They will earn their own living and they will spend most of their time in north america. A man who was born to be royal will no longer style himself as his Royal Highness. She will not call herself her Royal Highness. That hrh styling applies to full time, working members of the British Royal family which, come the spring, harry and meghan will no longer be.
