which was a greater sacrifice than they apparently bargained for.
It makes sense, however. No royal duties probably ought to equate to no royal titles.
It does raise a bit the old topic of Prince Edward, the youngest son of the Queen, who dropped out of his Royal Marine commando training and had a truncated military career. Usually the male members of the Royal Family serve in the military for a period. His service was very brief, and therefore he broke tradition by that act. Having said that, the path he attempted to take was a very hard one, and he didn't give up his other royal duties.
Harry and Meghan, however, no longer will have those duties and they won't have public funding or royal titles either. Presumably they're just Mr. and Mrs. Windsor now. I'm not certain that, had they been aware of the full impact of their decision, they would have opted for that. But frankly, it makes sense.
