Mundur dari Kerajaan Inggris, Pangeran Harry dan Meghan Markle Pindah ke Kanada?

KABAR mengejutkan datang dari Duke dan Duchess of Sussex, Pangeran Harry dan Meghan Markle. Siang ini, melalui akun laman Instagram resmi keduanya, “sussexroyal”, pasangan suami-istri ini mengumumkan ingin pindah.

Lewat narasi panjang, keduanya mengungkapkan akan pindah ke Kanada. Kepindahan ini bukan berarti Pangeran Harry, Meghan dan sang putra, Archie Harrison akan tidak lagi mengunjungi Inggris.

Dalam narasinya, keluarga kecil ini menjelaskan setelah berbulan-bulan menimbang, mereka memutuskan akan memisahkan dan menyeimbangkan waktu untuk tinggal di antara kedua tempat, Inggris dan Kanda.

“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 ‘senior’ 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 © PA

Dalam narasi yang sama, Harry dan Meghan mengungkapkan melalui keputusan kepindahan ini membuat adanya keseimbangan geografis.
