What is 'Megxit'?
'Megxit' is the informal term for when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back as senior working members of the Royal Family in 2020. They moved to North America, seeking more privacy and financial independence. This decision meant they no longer carried out official duties, allowing Meghan to pursue projects like her MasterChef appearance.
