It’s been described as a “nuclear” move on the royal family — and Harry and Meghan’s bombshell decision to quit their official posts certainly sent shockwaves around the world and sparked fierce debate.

The (potentially limited time only) Duke and Duchess of Sussex have plenty of supporters in their corner. It’s been very clear for some time that the parents to eight-month-old Archie are struggling with their mental wellbeing amid the relentless scrutiny that comes with their position.

Their high-profile friends, along with legions of fans, view the royal family and the media’s treatment of Harry and Meghan as unfair.
