The new arrangements for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which were announced by Queen Elizabeth, will be reviewed in a year, a royal source tells PEOPLE
However, the new changes — which will take effect in Spring 2020, according to a statement from Buckingham Palace — will last for a year, at which point the royal family will revisit the arrangement, the royal source explains.
“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved members of my family. I recognise the challenges they have experienced as a result of intense scrutiny over the last two years and support their wish for a more independent life. I want to thank them for all their dedicated work across this country, the Commonwealth and beyond, and am particularly proud of how Meghan has so quickly become one of the family,” the statement read.
The palace also confirmed that Harry and Meghan will no longer be using their HRH titles as “they are no longer working members of the Royal Family.” They will still be referred to formally as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and will be called Harry, the Duke of Sussex and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex.
The monarch’s statement continued: “Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK. These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.
