We intend to step back as \u2018senior\u2019 members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen,\u201d the pair wrote in a January 8, 2020 statement on Instagram. \u201cIt is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fast forward to today, over six years later, Harry is disagreeing with claims that he\u2019s not a working member of the royal family in an interview with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sW4gOOVMFvk\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sW4gOOVMFvk\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"ITV\" data-node-id=\"4.1\" class=\"body-link css-ohbdae emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"4.1.0\">ITV<\/em><\/a>, during which the the reporter discussed his and Meghan\u2019s recent trips to Australia and Jordan (which have looked p similar to the work trips they took while still senior royals.
