Kapanlagi.com - Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are once again in the spotlight. This much-talked-about couple made a surprising announcement on Wednesday (8/1/2019) local time or early Thursday morning WIB (9/1/2019).

The announcement was made through their official Instagram account. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stated that they are stepping back from their senior roles in the British royal family. Not only that, they will also work independently to support their financial needs.

According to RoyalCentral.com, the term 'senior royal' can have various meanings. First, it refers to royal family members who carry out their duties according to their obligations. Some also say that senior royals are individuals who are in line for the main throne. According to the Monarchy system, senior royals include Queen Elizabeth, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales (Prince Charles), Duchess of Cornwall (Camilla Bowles), Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and Kate Middleton), Duke and Duchess of Sussex (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle), and The Duke of York.
