The Queen recently revealed in a statement that Duchess Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have made the decision to permanently resign from their royal duties and be relieved of all of their royal titles.

The couple, who are expecting baby number two, decided in 2019 to take a step away from the royal life. During their absence, they have reviewed their roles as a Dutchess and a Prince and decided that they no longer fit these titles and cannot fulfil the obligations that come with them.

"I honestly don't get the British obsession with Royals, everybody is born equal and nobody should be thought of as better just because they were lucky enough to be born into an inbred cult."

"They can have rid of their "Sussex's" titles as well because they do not represent us Sussex residents in any way, shape, or form."

Legit.ng previously reported that Meghan Markle is a Wonderwoman, a mother every lady would love to be. She was excited over the news that she would officially be a mum again but did not want to leave her first child Archie feeling left out.

The mother of one recently took part in a whimsical black-and-white pregnancy announcement and added a special touch to it. First, she announced her news, close to the time of year her late mother-in-law Princess Diana had announced she was with child.

Then she wore a dress that was made for her back when she was pregnant with her baby Archie. The mother of one looks so flawlessly beautiful as she clasps her belly.
