Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have announced they will step back from senior positions in the royal family. The couple said they hope to become financially independent and create a newcharity while continuing some royal duties. The move came as a surprise to the British royal family. Hours after the announcement appeared on Instagram, Buckingham Palace released a short statement. It said discussions with Harry and Meghan were at an early stage and that such complex issues take time to work out. British media did not like the idea either. The Daily Mirror called the announcement a shockingdisregard for the Queen. The Sun described the decision as Megxit. The word is a play on Brexit a common term for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. It also raises questions about how the couple will earn a living, who will pay for their security, and what their new positions will involve.
