The couple announced their decision to step back as senior members of the Royal Family back in January.

At the time Harry spoke out about their choice during a charity event for Sentebale.

“It brings me great sadness that it has come to this,” he said.

“The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back, is not one I made lightly. It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option.”
