Forget the family affair that was meant to be Duchess Kate’s 38th birthday.

Her special day has been eclipsed by her arch nemesis, Duchess Meghan, with her well-wishers focusing on fallout from Harry and Megs’ resignation from royalty, as per the Queen’s orders.

‘The Queen, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge have directed their teams to work at pace with governments and the Sussexes’ office to find workable solutions, and this is expected to take days, not weeks,’ Us Weekly reports.

The couple plan to be financially independent from the Monarchy, while running their own yet-to-be-announced charity and moving away from Harry’s homeland.

"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

According to the publication’s insider, 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.

The tome, ‘What Meghan wants, Meghan gets’ has become a theme throughout the couple’s relationship.

Their announcement follows a star-studded wedding in 2018, $5 million renovations to their family home Frogmore Cottage and continued security that costs upwards of $1 million a year – all at the cost of the taxpayer.
