Prince Harry, Meghan will be laying low for a few months after Sussex brand loss

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have officially taken a step back from the royal brand and will be “taking a break for the next few months," following their move to Los Angeles after the royal exit. 

Accoridng to a report by the Daily Mail, Omid Scobie, a royal expert, spoke at length about Harry and Meghan’s surprise decision during his podcast The Heir Pod.

He was quoted as saying, “It is interesting because we had such a build-up since January to the departure of Meghan and Harry stepping back as senior working royals. Suddenly on March 31 it sort of crept up on us really quickly, we had the couple announcing the beginning of their transition period over the next year on Instagram.”

“At the same time, they were announcing that they are closing down their social media and their website and taking a break for the next few months. I think it has really taken everyone by surprise. Because there was so much talk about the couple preparing projects and ready to launch initiatives. When actually it was two people that were like, ‘We need a break too’," he added.
