Following her 12-month review period, the late Queen Elizabeth II confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has resigned from “the work of the royal family”. and that her “honorary military appointments and royal patronage” had been returned. Though the pair have been stripped of their roles, Harry and Markle still have their royal titles (for now, anyway).
When Harry and Markle first announced their royal exit in January 2020, it was clear that they would retain but not actively use their HRH styles and would continue to be known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Earl and Countess of Dumbarton would , and the Baron and Baroness Kilkeel.

Harry will also continue his work with the Invictus Games and his charity Sentebale, while Markle will remain a patron of animal welfare organization Mayhew and Smart Works.

The second part of “Harry & Meghan” will be released on December 15 on Netflix.
