The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are no
longer to use their HRH titles and will repay £2.4million of taxpayers'
money spent on renovating their Frogmore Cottage home, Buckingham Palace
announced tonight, as a Megxit deal was sealed.The
couple, who will be known as Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess
of Sussex, will stop carrying out royal duties from the spring.
'The Sussexes will not use their HRH
titles as they are no longer working members of the Royal Family. The
Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shared their wish to repay Sovereign
Grant expenditure for the refurbishment of Frogmore Cottage, which will
remain their UK family home.
'Buckingham
Palace does not comment on the details of security arrangements. There
are well established independent processes to determine the need for
publicly funded security. This new model will take effect in the Spring
of 2020.' While they said the couple will no longer receive public cash, it is unclear whether the Prince will still receive the estimated £2.3million a year he gets from his father Prince Charles's Duchy of Cornwall coffers.
