This is to be expected. They were run out of the family for racial reasons.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not return as working members of the Royal Family, Buckingham Palace has said.

The Queen confirmed the couple would not "continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service".

A statement said the Royal Family were "saddened by their decision", which was first announced last January.

The couple said "service is universal" and offered to continue supporting the organisations they have represented.

The duke and duchess said last year they would step back as "senior" royals and work to become financially independent.

They formally stepped down in March, with a plan to review the arrangements after 12 months.

The confirmation means Prince Harry and Meghan will return their honorary military appointments and Royal patronages.

I think Meghan being Californian is a bigger problem than her race.

I think the idea that Harry has been looking for a way out for years and Megan is just the excuse is more likely.

I mean they basically let the press shit on him to protect William all through his twenties.

The British press did not harp on California. (Besides she was living in Canada at the time.) They did harp on her race. I note that one his relatives wore a racist brooch to some event with her.
