Buckingham Palace announced Friday that Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, informed Queen Elizabeth that the two will not be returning to England as working members of the Royal Family. 

As such, all honorary titles and military appointments will be revoked. 

The Palace's statement said that, "in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family, it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service."

"While all are saddened by their decision, the Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family," the statement read. 

The couple moved to Los Angeles last year after announcing their intention to step back from their Royal duties, causing uproar around the world. 

The two share a son, Archie, and the Duchess is currently pregnant with their second child, according to a recent announcement.
