(CNN)<\/cite>Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, say they are stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family and plan to work towards becoming “financially independent,” the couple announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year” they wrote on Instagram, explaining that they hope to “carve out a progressive new role within this institution.” Harry and Meghan did not consult any other members of the royal family about their decision, CNN has learned. <\/p>\n There is said to be a mood of deep disappointment in the palace following the announcement; senior members of the family are hurt as a result of the news.<\/p>\n In a statement issued just hours after the couple’s Instagram post, Buckingham Palace said the situation was “complicated.” <\/path><\/g><\/g><\/g><\/svg> View this post on Instagram <\/p>\n “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will 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, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” – The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image \u00a9 PA<\/p>\n A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on

Couple keen for private life<\/h3>\n
\n“Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage,” the unsigned Royal Communications statement said. “We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”<\/p>\n
\nThe Duke and Duchess did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment. <\/strong>
\nThe announcement could indicate that the couple will now have the private life they’ve always argued for.
\nThey are opting out of the system but they’ll be able to opt in to the elements that they like: the family elements and those where they’re seen to be supporting the Queen, who they’re both very close to.<\/p>\nShock Instagram announcement<\/h3>\n
