As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry mark five years since stepping back from royal duties, their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.
To put it mildly, much has happened in the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s lives since Jan. 8, 2020.
Their statement said:
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.”
“We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen,” the statement continued. “It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.”
Some high and low since then:
High No. 1: Welcoming Princess Lilibet to the world
High No. 2: Lucrative business deals
High No. 3: The chance to tell their story
Low No. 3: The deaths of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth
