Harry and Meghan still live in the home of Queen Elizabeth II's Frogmore Cottage in Windsor, which is renovated with a total budget of £ 2.4 million ($ 3.1 million) from the budget. Harry and Meghan do not receive royalties and will spend most of their time in North America.

"After months of dialogue and recent discussions, I am pleased that we have found a constructive step with my nephew and family. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be beloved members. I appreciate the challenges they have faced over the past two years and support the desire to live independently, "said Queen Elizabeth II.

The British Prince and his wife on January 8 announced they would withdraw from their high-ranking royal duties to establish a new charity and live in both England and North America, and at the same time aim to "financial independence". ".

The shocking decision sparked rumors that they felt "isolated" by the "superior attitude" of Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. Many British newspapers say that the two brothers became distant because William "disliked" his sister-in-law Meghan. However, two people released a joint statement denying this information.

Harry, 35, married Meghan in May 2018 and welcomed his first son Archie in May last year. The couple once talked about the difficulties of royal life and media scrutiny. The Prince said he feared that Meghan would fall victim to the "forces" that led to the death of her mother, Princess Diana.
