The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced today that they will step back as 'senior' members of the Royal family and work to become 'financially independent.'
In an official statement released on their joint Instagram account, the Royal duo revealed that in addition to stepping down, they'll be splitting their time between the United Kingdom and North America.

"We aim 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," they wrote on the share.
Naturally, Twitter is having a field day with the news. #Megxit is top trending across the social media platform, with users sharing their hilarious spin off the Royal duo's new chapter.
Prince Harry opened up about Meghan's Royal hardships in a statement last October, writing, "There comes a point when the only thing to do is to stand up to this behavior, because it destroys people and destroys lives."

"Put simply, it is bullying, which scares and silences people. We all know this isn’t acceptable, at any level. We won’t and can’t believe in a world where there is no accountability for this," he said.
However, this hasn't stopped Twitter from sharing their thoughts on the Royal decision. "Meghan and Harry NYC rent and move back," one user mused.
Meanwhile, others are hilariously excited for the future seasons of The Crown and Succession. "Cast Meghan in the next season of Succession," one said. Another wrote, "Can't wait for season 6 of The Crown, in which Meghan could play herself."
Others are just having a field day with all the creative memes the #Megxit storm is circulating.
