"Sussex Royal", ya no será la marca del príncipe Enrique y Meghan

El príncipe Enrique y su esposa Meghan avanzaron este viernes que dejarán de utilizar a partir de la próxima primavera la palabra “Sussex Royal“, asociada a su papel como representantes de la monarquía británica.

Los duques de Sussex, que han expresado su intención de dar un paso atrás en su papel como miembros de la familia real, dejarán a partir del 31 de marzo de participar en actos oficiales.

"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as \u2018senior\u2019 members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support." – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image \u00a9 PA

This evening, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended the annual #WellChildAwards in London. WellChild aims to ensure every child and young person living with serious health needs has the best chance to thrive with the support and medical care needed in the comfort of their own home. The Duke of Sussex became Patron of WellChild in 2007, and last year both The Duke and Duchess attended the awards to honour the children and families that WellChild supports. The Duke, who first came to these awards over a decade ago, shared in his remarks tonight: "Last year when my wife and I attended we knew we were expecting our first child – no one else did at the time, but we did – and I remember squeezing Meghan\u2019s hand so tightly during the awards, both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day, and more so, what it would be like to do everything we could to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time. And now, as parents, being here and speaking to all of you pulls at my heart strings in a way I could have never understood until I had a child of my own." \u2022 To find out more about tonight\u2019s event and how you can support this very special organisation, please visit @WellChild Photos \u00a9\ufe0f PA images

More images from Heritage Day in Bo Kaap. As part of their visit, Their Royal Highnesses visited the Auwal Mosque \u2013 the first and oldest Mosque in South Africa. Standing as a symbol of the freedom of former slaves to worship, the Mosque hosts events with Muslim, Christian and Jewish young leaders, and encourages friendship and understanding between South Africa’s varied communities. The Duke and Duchess also got to view the first known manuscript of the Qu\u2019ran in Africa, drafted by Tuan Guru from memory, whilst he was imprisoned on Robben Island. \u2022\u2022\u2022 Heritage Day celebrated the great diversity of cultures, beliefs and traditions that make up the rainbow nation. Bo Kaap streets filled with colour and music while Their Royal Highnesses were welcomed to one of the most vibrant neighbourhoods in Cape Town. The area has seen inter-community tension rise over the last few years, yet days like today show how faith, traditions, food and music bring people together, and celebrate the things that unite each and every one of us. #RoyalVisitSouthAfrica \u2022 Photo \u00a9\ufe0f Shutterstock / PA images

“El duque y la duquesa están centrados en sus planes para establecer una nueva organización sin ánimo de lucro”, detalló hoy un portavoz del matrimonio, que dividirá a partir de ahora su tiempo entre el Reino Unido y Canadá.

“Dadas las normas gubernamentales específicas británicas en torno a la palabra ‘real’, se ha acordado que su organización sin ánimo de lucro, que se anunciará esta primavera, no será llamada ‘Sussex Royal Foundation‘”, indicó ese portavoz.

En las próximas semanas, ambos tienen en la agenda seis últimos eventos oficiales, que incluyen la participación del príncipe en una grabación con la estrella del rock Jon Bon Jovi y un acto con el coro Invictus Games Choir.

Su último compromiso oficial programado por ahora es su aparición en un servicio religioso el Día de la Mancomunidad de Naciones, el 9 de marzo, en la abadía de Westminster, en Londres.

Está previsto que los duques asistan en mayo a la celebración de los juegos Invictus, en los que participan exmilitares heridos, si bien lo harán a título personal, mientras que el príncipe prevé mantener su rol como patrón de la maratón de Londres, que se corre en abril.

El duque mantendrá además los rangos militares de mayor, teniente comandante y líder de escuadrón.
