Our 15 favourite responses to the Queen’s deal with Harry and Meghan
The terms of departure for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been announced by the Queen, with the couple dropping ‘HRH’ as they effectively emigrate to Canada and cease to be working Royals.
At a dinner in aid of the charity for HIV-affected African children, Sentebale, Harry took the opportunity to set the record straight.
It almost certainly won’t stop the papers making stuff up, but the Sussexes can stick to the Vancouver Times, or whatever is their local rag.
Here’s what Twitter has had to say about the Great Royal Escape.

Harry will henceforth be known as the Artist formally known as Prince.

Chuckling to myself at the outlandish 'what-if?' scenario of everyone in the royal family doing this, and every new heir they find refuses the title, until they reach the 1,371st person in line to the throne, and that person puts it on eBay https://t.co/XQzqXz93Tb
