“While you may not see us here, the work continues... We look forward to reconnecting with you soon. You’ve been great!” the couple wrote on their @sussexroyal Instagram account, signing off as Harry and Meghan.

“As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile.” Harry and Meghan stunned the royal family when they announced in January they will no longer represent the monarchy.
