The celebrated couple came under the spotlight when they announced stepping back from the duties as Senior Royals and expressed their intent to be more independent. Recently, the royal couple closed their Sussex Royal Instagram account and stated that they were still trying to find the part they had to play in the changing world.

Meghan and Harry came under intense criticism a few weeks ago when they were accused of interfering in the upcoming US Presidential Election by asking people to go out and vote for their preferred candidate. In a letter to the British government, Rep Jason Smith is reported to have requested the administration to ensure that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex refrain from interfering in the US election or "be stripped of all titles, styles, and privileges which they currently retain".
