Why did they leave?
The Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in 2020, seeking more independence and privacy. They expressed a desire to carve out a new life, financially independent and away from the intense media scrutiny they felt they faced in the UK. This led to their move to North America, where Meghan continues to pursue projects like her MasterChef appearance.
