Queen Elizabeth II officially blesses Harry and Meghan's royal exit

They'll still be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, but Harry and Meghan got what they wanted: They're free.

Queen Elizabeth II delivered formal confirmation that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be permitted to follow through on their plans to step back from their roles as British royals.
