Royal biographer Penny Junor explained that the recent loss of Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle s patronages will give the Royal Family an opportunity to change the way they support charities. Speaking to Express.co.uk, she suggested royals could instead “dip their toes” more into multiple charitable events and lend their support on an ad-hoc basis. Ms Junor added the reduced number of “working royals” means that it would be difficult for members to fully commit to more allocated patronages left behind by Harry and Meghan.

The other 15 realms which consider the British monarch their head of state also had to sanction the abdication act in their parliaments.
As noted by Professor Hazell, the Houses of Parliament modified the rules of succession in 2013, when they approved an act replacing male-preference primogeniture with absolute primogeniture.
According to Mr Vickers, Prince Harry can no longer fully support his royal titles after settling down in California.
And, he added, from there the Duke can do little for his nation in comparison with other full-time working senior royals.
