#Megxit is now official
Britain's Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle are to take a break from their royal Instagram account, they announced Monday as they prepare for life outside the royal inner circle.
"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 informally as Harry and Meghan.
The couple are due to leave the royal frontline on Tuesday, having told Queen Elizabeth II they wanted to pursue more independent lives. "What's most important right now is the health and wellbeing of everyone," they wrote, referring to the covid-19 pandemic.
"As we can all feel, the world at this moment seems extraordinarily fragile."
