Withdrawal from the royal family

The announcement comes days after Meghan Markle, 39, won her case against the British tabloid Daily Mail about the publication of a letter she had addressed to her father, with whom she is at odds.

Prince Harry, 36, sixth in the order of succession to the British crown, has repeatedly denounced media pressure on his couple and made it the main reason for his withdrawal from the royal family, effective since April 2020. Their child will be the eighth in the order of succession.

Since their installation in California, also justified by their desire for financial independence, Meghan Markle and her husband, who have withdrawn from the British crown, have concluded several contracts with content platforms, including Netflix. Critics have criticized them for seeking to profit from their membership in the royal family and their fame while refusing to take on the protocol aspects.
