THE FUTURE

Harry and Meghan did not spell out what they were planning or where in North America they might live.

Last year, it was reported that Harry would be executive producer of a documentary on mental health with U.S. television mogul Oprah Winfrey for Apple's video streaming service.

They said splitting time between Britain and North America "would 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."

Harry and William received more than 5 million pounds from their father, Prince Charles, last year and it was not immediately clear how Harry and Meghan would achieve financial independence.

Royal biographer Penny Junor said it was possible Meghan, who starred in TV legal drama "Suits", might revive her acting career, given the demand and fees she could command.

"Perhaps she'd have to be careful about what roles she'd do, because she is a member of the royal family," Junor said.

Last year was one of the hardest of Queen Elizabeth's record-breaking 67-year reign, culminating in her second son Andrew stepping down from royal duties over his association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
