Meghan Markle flees to Canada amid public and royal scrutiny

The Duchess of Sussex was reunited with their son, Archie, who remained in Canada with a nanny while his parents made their big announcement via Instagram.

According to Daily Mail, 'She may stay there for the foreseeable future.'

The city of Vancouver holds a very special place in Meghan's heart. She called it home while filming legal drama Suits - and now the Sussexes plan to call it home once again when they step down from 'senior' royal duties and become 'financially independent.'

"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support." - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA

Another royal source told US Weekly that Harry and Meghan’s decision to split their time between Canada and the UK and step down from royal duties is all thanks to the American actress.

Meghan ‘is definitely leading the charge on this’ because she ‘doesn’t have a lot of ties to Kensington Palace, the people or the other royals’ in the UK.

She does, however, plan on keeping her royal title. Hmmm.
