Buckingham Palace Will No Longer Comment on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle officially transition out of their senior royal roles at midnight on March 31, Buckingham Palace will no longer comment on the couple.
A statement from a spokesperson for the couple clarified today that moving forward, they will have a completely separate communications team, as they will no longer be working royals.
"Effective March 31, 2020, no other Royal communications representatives act on behalf of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, including Palace spokespeople, Household representatives nor Royal sources," reads the memo.
More specifically, it noted: "Going forward, Buckingham Palace will no longer comment/guide on Sussex related enquiries."
Their communications will be managed by both the US-based agency Sunshine Sachs and the UK-based James Holt while they build out a new team.
The statement also acknowledged that the Sussexes are beginning their new roles in a complicated time, amid the coronavirus outbreak.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex would prefer that in the immediate weeks and months, the focus remains on the global response to COVID-19. However, we recognise there are outstanding questions relating to their future beyond their Household transition deadline," reads the statement.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will spend the next few months focusing on their family and continuing to do what they can, safely and privately, to support and work with their pre-existing charitable commitments while developing their future non-profit organisation."
Today's statement comes shortly after reports that Harry, Meghan, and Archie have left Canada and moved to Los Angeles. At this point, it's unclear if the move is a permanent one.
