Royal Farewell: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle fulfill their final duty
1 / 13Britain Royal FarewellFILE - In this Oct. 31, 2018 file photo, Britain's Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex greet members of the public during their visit to Te Papaiouru Marae in Rotorua, New Zealand. Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, are fulfilling their last royal commitment Monday March 9, 2020 when they appear at the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey.
Even before the ceremony, Britain's tabloid newspapers featured stories about a rift between Meghan and her father. When Meghan became pregnant, some commentators criticized her for jetting off to New York for a baby shower, a strange American tradition to many in Britain. Others lampooned Meghan's politically correct pronouncements on the environment and women's rights.
Then in January, the couple sparked a royal crisis when they revealed that they intended to step back from their duties as senior members of the royal family. The move came after holiday pictures were released of the queen along with son Prince Charles, grandson Prince William and great-grandson Prince George. The future was pictured and Harry wasn't part of it.
But there's no precedent for a part-time role in the House of Windsor's family firm. After all, Edward VIII was largely shunned by the royal family after he abdicated the throne to marry American divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936.Aggrieved taxpayers insisted that Harry and Meghan repay the 2.4 million pounds of public money spent to renovate the house in Windsor where they had planned to live.
“When you look at the royal family, their security package is very much built on a model from cradle to grave,'' said Morgan, the director of operations and training for the security firm Trojan Consultancy. ”It's built on an element of rapport and trust ... when we talk about the cost, the initial setup of that team will be quite important."
