Alasan Pangeran Harry dan Meghan Mundur dari Keluarga Kerajaan Inggris

Pangeran Harry dan Meghan Markle mundur sebagai anggota senior keluarga Kerajaan Inggris. Harry dan Meghan berencana untuk berkerja dan menjadi mandiri secara finansial. Hal ini disampaikan keduanya pada Rabu, 8 Januari 2020 melalui sejumlah akun media sosial dan web official mereka.

Harry dan Meghan telah beberapa bulan merefleksi dan berdiskusi sampai akhirnya memilih untuk bertransisi di tahun ini. Hal ini dilakukan demi seimbangkan waktu antara Inggris dan Amerika Utara demi membesarkan putra mereka. Namun, keduanya tetap mendukung penuh Yang Mulia Ratu.

Berikut pernyataan resmi Pangeran Harry dan Meghan:

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.
