In a guidance statement, the spokesperson confirmed that Harry and Meghan's office at Buckingham Palace would officially close and that the couple would begin a 12-month transition period from March 31, as they work on establishing their non-profit organization.
The couple will attend a series of other events through March, including the Endeavour Fund Awards"to recognize wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans who have gone on to use sport and adventurous challenge as part of their recovery and rehabilitation," according to the statement, as well as an annual performance at the Royal Albert Hall to raise money for Her Majesty's Royal Marines and CLIC Sargent, a UK cancer charity for children.
"As the Duke and Duchess are stepping back as senior members of the royal family, and will work towards financial independence, use of the word 'Royal', in this context, needed to be reviewed. Discussions are still ongoing, however, a change will be announced alongside the launch of their new non-profit organization," the statement said, adding that details of the organization would be shared at the end of the year.
"The Duke's priorities remain supporting the welfare of servicemen and women, conservation, sport for social development, HIV and Travalyst which works to mobilize the tourism and travel industry for social good," it said.Prince Harry will keep his honorary military titles -- the ranks of Major, Lieutenant Commander, and Squadron Leader -- during the 12-month transition period but won't use them or undertake duties associated with them.
