Britain's Prince Harry and wife Meghan begin farewell royal events

Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan appeared together at an official engagement on Thursday. That appearance is the first time since January's announcement that they would step away from their royal duties. at an awards ceremony for wounded service personnel, the appearance by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will also be one of their last before they quit as working members of the royal family.

The couple will stop their royal duties at the end of the month as they seek to carve out "a progressive new role", mainly based in North America, which they aim to finance themselves. While Harry remains a prince, they have agreed not to use the HRH titles - His or Her Royal Highness - and will not use "royal" in their branding. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spent most of their time in Canada since January's shock announcement.
