“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

Menerusi kenyataan yang dikeluarkan, selepas beberapa bulan berbincang secara menyeluruh, pasangan ini mengambil keputusan mahu mencipta peranan baru dalam institusi diraja. Mereka berhasrat keluar dari anggota keluarga diraja dan bekerja sendiri bagi menampung keperluan kewangan mereka, sementara terus menyokong sepenuhnya Queen Elizabeth.

Patung lilin tidak lagi dipamerkan

Katanya, dengan sokongan daripada rakyat terutama untuk beberapa tahun ini, mereka bersedia untuk melakukan perubahan besar seperti yang disebut. Kini, mereka merancang untuk membahagikan masa antara United Kingdom dan North America disamping terus berkhidmat kepada Queen Elizabeth.

Sementara itu, Harian Metro melaporkan patung lilin pasangan Duke dan Duchess of Sussex ini tidak akan dipamerkan dalam ruangan keluarga Diraja Britain iaitu di Muzium Madame Tussauds bermula hari ini. Keputusan ini dibuat susulan pengumuman meninggalkan sistem keluarga Diraja England yang dibuat semalam.
